Headhunterz Drops Massive Hardstyle Remix of Illenium’s “Paper Thin”
Illenium‘s track “Paper Thin” has received a massive remix from Headhunterz, the Dutch EDM vet and hardstyle master. As if the song wasn’t already festival-ready, Headhunterz cranks up the energy to bone-rattling levels. His hardstyle rendition is equal parts elegant and thunderous, using a nuanced approach to the punk-inspired vocals of Tom DeLonge to devastating effect. As festivals continue to bite the dust in light of a reinvigorated, relentless pandemic in recent weeks, you know Illenium is itching to drop this remix on a large stage. Released back in October 2020, “Paper Thin” solidified itself as a bona fide highlight for Illenium. After teaming up with DeLonge—who co-founded Blink-182—and his band Angels & Airwaves, Illeni...
Headhunterz Shares Preview of Upcoming Official Remix of Illenium’s “Paper Thin”
Illenium‘s “Paper Thin” remix pack is set to grow stronger with the addition of a forthcoming new spin from Headhunterz. The hardstyle tastemaker took to Twitter to share the news and a brief preview, which has our anticipation built up high for release day. While the teaser denies us the satisfaction of a stampeding hardstyle drop (for now), all indicators say Headhunterz is injecting some dark contrast into Illenium’s melodic dubstep original. Headhunterz knows how to build up for a big entrance, riffing on Illenium’s melodic groundwork with a series of siren-like synths as the song builds. Tom DeLonge‘s vocals echo omnipresently in the background as the song melts into an abrupt cutoff, leaving us on edge. Headhunterz’s rem...
