‘Extra Fly’ is a sample-based remix inspired by 90’s alternative rock and infused with contemporary hip-hop, indie and electronic music. With guest vocal features by Kanye West and Jim Jones, D.VELOPED creates a hook with multiple samples and rearranges them to once again deliver their esteemed quality mashup skills.
Mixing in a plethora of additional guest instrumental samples by David Grey, Tracy Chapman, Spandau Ballet, Arrested Development and Alt-J, the duo then produced everything else instrumentally to form a moombahton-like beat with their own creative flair.
“Our goal with this track, and with others before it, is to reach beyond the typical 2-layer mashup that is simply a single acapella on top of a single instrumental,” notesD.VELOPED, comprised of North Carolina-based male/female duo that combines eclectic genres, micro-samples and sounds with original production.
Unlike a traditional mashup, this track is what D.VELOPED likes to call a “3-D Remix” – a work that involves multi-instrumental and vocal samples built upon several layers of original production. Micro-sampling, chopping, re-arranging, recording and constructing instrumental components are all a part of this process.
Their ultimate goal is to develop a new sound that extends beyond the ordinary, transforming basic mashups and remixes into an undefined art form and listening experience.
With so much praise already awarded to this duo’s miracle mashup work in the past, this remix will only add to their index of notable productions.
With that said, it’s time to dig into D.VELOPED’s latest sonic masterpiece!
