OVERWERK reimagines Linkin Park’s “Faint”

One of my longtime favorite producers, the Canadian electronic artist OVERWERK (aka Edmond Huszar), just dropped this remix of angst rock classic, "Faint". Huszar let loose Conquer last December, the 3rd of his EPs to continue his signature melodic electro style. Starting off by sampling the famous lyrics, the remix soon falls into staggered, gritty synth lines and ever-shifting grinds. This isn't the first time we've seen Linkin Park get the dance rework, as a number of their songs have been featured in festival sets on top of last fall's collaboration with Steve Aoki, "A Light That Never Comes". Like with all of his work, OVERWERK has given this track up for free, so grab the download for an updated trip down memory lane. Also, Huszar has been spending time updating his studio and signing with new agencies, meaning a lot more music (both recorded and live) should be coming out soon!
