There’s no denying that we’re huge fans of Gryffin over here at Fresh New Tracks. The talented multi-instrumentalist not only pushes the boundaries of dance music with his forward-thinking brand of house, but he’s also managed to find a sound that appeals to his dance fans, while still maintaining enough mainstream appeal to crossover into pop. His latest effort, a remix of CHVRCHES’ “Clearest Blue,” is an ode to his impressive production talent, as he takes on the Scottish indietronica band’s biggest hit, and infuses it with his signature melodic house style with soaring guitar riffs, a big bass line, and pulsing synths.

Just days ago, Gryffin returned to drop a blissful rendition of “Youth” by Troye Sivan. The remix follows Gryffin’s big debut single “Heading Home” that came out this past January and quickly became #1 on Spotify’s Global Viral Chart. After his outstanding live performances in front of packed crowds at San Diego’s CRSSD Festival and Miami’s Ultra this past month, the young gun producer has shown us that he’s not slowing down anytime soon.

Gryffin’s take on “Youth” acts as another unique reimagining, adding to his already stacked collection of celebrated remixes. By including hurried percussion, slick synths, and lush guitar sweeps, Gryffin transports the poppy sound of the original into a dreamy soundscape that is reminiscent of love and adolescence. You can listen to the new remix now or catch it on Gryffin’s current “Heading Home” Live Tour. Tickets here.

There’s no denying that what Gryffin has accomplished in one year is nothing short of impressive. The gifted musician displays a multi-faceted approach to production, as he brings together elements of indie with dance, all underlined by his dedication to live instruments, which can be seen clearly in his productions and with his live set. The NYC-based producer made his world debut at SnowGlobe this year, where he premiered his live concept for the first time, before taking it on the road to sold-out shows in Los Angeles and New York. Now, just three weeks into 2016, he’s getting ready for another major career milestone – his first original, “Heading Home,” which is out now on Darkroom/Interscope Records. The track features Gryffin’s melody-heavy style, as Josef Salvat’s soaring croons are balanced perfectly with lush piano melodies and a deep, throbbing bass line that gives “Heading Home” an evocative feel.

“Heading Home” is available on iTunes, and Spotify. Stream it on the electroNOW playlist.
