DJ-Set, House | Usher – Scream (Pierce Fulton Remix) + Get Weird Ep #004
Posted by Middy on August 29, 2012
Despite its inevitable leak a little while ago, Pierce Fulton’s remix of Usher’s Scream now sees the official light of day. It takes a more progressive side of Pierce’s sound that we saw in his earlier works, like on his “Pardon My French EP”, using Usher’s vocals splendidly, letting them shine over soft pads and then in the chorus bringing up the tempo with a playful arp, and melodic chords with vocals bits creating a superb harmony. Also included in the remix package are remixes from R3hab who gives us his saws that we have seen time and time again and Project 46 who puts out a superb progressive remix that rivals Pierce’s remix.
Also below is the 4th episode of Get Weird, Pierce Fulton’s radio show on Tiesto’s radio channel that is now hosting a contest where you can have your own show on there, details here. The set includes what we have grown accustomed to hearing in Get Weird with a unique tracklist of lesser known tracks from tech to progressive to house tracks. It is a great way to get you ready for Electric Zoo this weekend with Pierce’s set at the rough slot of noon on Sunday and includes some unreleased tracks as well. Tracklist after the jump.
Progressive House | Usher – Scream (Pierce Fulton Remix) [Preview]
Posted by Middy on July 23, 2012
When I first saw that Pierce Fulton had done this remix, I was a bit surprised and really had no idea what to expect. Listening to his past releases, I knew he could make some catchy, progressive stuff and with his talent, a great remix of a pop song was very easily within reach. However this is not a man who is just going to mail this one in, as you saw in his latest video where he locks away a song forever because “It isn’t perfect enough”. I was incredibly impressed from the opening of the remix with his ability to manipulate Usher’s powerful vocals and create a melody that fits the track and does not overpower the rest of the track. The remix starts with the emotion of Usher’s vocals and a soft, slow piano progression that slowly increases in speed and volume with the chorus into a drop with an uplifting synth melody, a pitched arp for layering and complexity, a steady bass line and vocal bits to round it all out. Release date is not known yet, but expect this package to be out soon. Also be sure to check out the upbeat progressive take from Project 46 and the remix from R3hab with liberal use of saws.
Dubstep | Usher – Climax (Feature Cuts Remix)
Posted by Jess on June 4, 2012
In his typical fashion, Feature Cuts comes through with a monster remix of Usher’s “Climax”, premiered here exclusively on FNT. The original was purposely made to never actually “climax” but that is not so with this one. The drop will leave your heart racing as if you were actually.. well, you know. The wicked, glitchy drop will probably make your face melt and is nicely complemented by the softer melodies during Usher’s verses.

Another week, another rhythmic slaughtering from the fellas that fly through time.
“Hit you up with another cover. Well actually two. Had to mix it up with a freestyle though… so who knows what to call this. Shout out to Usher for a dope track.”
I know FOX is giving Timeflies some airtime, but CBS is getting an awful lot of show plugs at the end of Cal’s freestyle…are they thanking the network in advance for spinning their songs in a commercial during the highly anticipated Patriots vs. Tebow game this Saturday? Only time will tell.
BTW, if you missed the DL we posted for “2012” late last week, grab that below.
