"Turn Up the Sound - Radio Edit"
| ||||
The single was released as two packages, each running as a Beatport exclusive for two weeks.[1] The first part was released on June 18, 2012 as a remix EP, and featured three club mixes: two in the style of trance by tyDi and Xtigma, and one electro house remix by Francis Prève.[2] The second part followed on July 2, 2012, and featured seven tracks, including an electro house remix by Tristan Garner; a drumstep remix by Stratus; a chillout remix by Zetandel; a trance remix by Gabriel & Dresden; and the album version of the song, in addition to one radio edit for each of the latter two mixes.[3] Eventually, the song would also feature a music video, making its first appearance on YouTube, July 19, 2012.[4]
While a demo version of the song was originally leaked in 2009, it had since been rewritten, moving from the original style in neo-trance to ethnic electronica.[5] The song is thereby defined by an electronic breakbeat, vocal clouds, soaring strings and gritty synths, blended with elements of eastern music, creating a dark atmosphere with an undertone of tension. However, the new version also incorporates a revised section of the original song, going from the breakdown to the end.
