With just listening to The Temper Trap’s “Sweet Disposition”, I already have a hint on what to expect in 500 Days of Summer. It was actually my friend Benny (boyofdestiny.tumblr.com) who told me to listen to this song, and also being an electronic dance music aficionado that he is, Ben also advised me to check out Morgan Page’s and Axwell & Dirty South’s remixes of the song [more of these in part 2].
The original version somehow reminds me of U2, Radiohead, and Coldplay, yet having that distinct element that separates “Sweet Disposition” from what the three bands have made. After my first time of sampling the song, I can really remember the drum patterns, most especially the snare beats, as well as the nostalgic vocals planted in the track. Lastly, “Sweet Disposition” is one of those tracks that I would listen to when I recall memories from the good old days.
I was actually surprised to see a remix done by both Axwell and Dirty South, two of the biggest names in the house and electro-house music scenes respectively. If you do not know what I am talking about, try making a web-search on their names.
Continuing, the Axwell & Dirty South remix on “Sweet Disposition” is very infectious, yes remember that adjective—infectious. Although less vocal elements are present compared to the original, this atmospheric remix contains sublime synth-patterns that are quite difficult to get rid from your system, once again, contagious.
If you’re keen enough, you will notice that the same riff plays over and over again throughout the song, but this remix is so consistent that each measure brings more energy to its listeners.
Going progressive house, Morgan Page shapes “Sweet Disposition” into a more upbeat track for dance-floors. Compared to Axwell & Dirty South’s remix, Morgan’s remix retains more vocal elements from the original track, complementing the sun-drenched melodies.
For listeners who crave for that electronic dance energy at daytime, this is the remix for you.
