Gorillaz, Tame Impala commission Dom Dolla for rework of ‘New Gold’
Five years. That’s the last time an artist was invited to put their take on anything from the Gorillaz catalog. But this past August, the paths of the famed alternative rock band crossed with none other than Tame Impala for their first-ever collaborative effort, “New Gold.” And while Gorillaz have seemingly maintained strict guidelines for official remixes, the psychedelic single received an unexpected but welcome rework from Dancing Astronaut‘s 2019 Breakout Artist of the Year, Dom Dolla.
There’s debatably no one better than Dom Dolla when it comes to spinning some of the most well-known bands in music. Just a few months earlier, he gave RÜFÜS DU SOL‘s “Make It Happen” a heavy twist and now, the Aussie producer is trying his hand at something beyond the dance music realm. Evoking a more club-primed feel compared to the original, Dom Dolla significantly speeds up “New Gold” to a tech-house pace while maintaining both the lyrical and melodic work of Gorillaz and Tame Impala’s original. Dom Dolla’s “New Gold” remix results in a fitting track to mix in for listeners across any music genre, giving the best of both worlds.
