If you know any branch of EDM -you know Steve Aoki- and have heard his numerous remixes of popular artists. The LA based and world-renowned DJ and producer released his remix of Bonnie McKee’s “American Girl” in time for pre-Halloween weekend and festivities. Here, Aoki took the pop track, toned down the melody, and added some serious drops beneath the candy-eyed and vibrant haired McKee’s sugarcoated vocals. After all, Aoki was a 2012 EDM Effect Woodie nominee, so you know that he can handle all the bells and whistles of any remix – and more than adequately bring out the edge in an appropriately shiny Los Angeles pop song. The result is a much grittier pop anthem that is still bright with the elements of the California sunshine that it was written with.
