Although the original has long since been released, Bristol dubstepper and purple pioneer Joker has done away with timeliness and brought us a new remix of Ellie Goulding’s Lights.

Quite different from the original or Bassnectar’s fantastic dubstep anthem, this one takes a signature Joker purple sound. With it’s half-time tempo, this track has a bouncing kick drum that makes it real easy to just follow along. Rather than a club track, this is much more suited for your home-listening and good headphones (must have those good low-frequencies!) The track additionally even has these winding, techy synths that I recognized from a lot of southern hip-hop beats (possibly Lex Lugar?!), but still let’s the track’s vocals take centerstage. The vocals have always been one of the stronger pieces of this material, and Joker did not let that change here. In true UK dubstep form, Joker does not go easy on the sub-bass here as it washes over you and just makes you bob with the kick drum, as if you are drifting out to sea.
