Deadmau5 feat. Billy Newton-Davis : 'All You Ever Want'
This set of remixes is a sure fire hit for the shores of Spanish synth heaven, Ibiza, but for sitting at home with a cuppa, it’s all a little bit too much.
The original ‘All You Ever Want’ opens lightly with echoing, striking synths and Billy Newton-Davis’ smooth vocals crying out “all my dreams,” and it seems, at first, that it’ll be a piece of elector-house artistry. But, the only redeeming quality about this track is the sample ‘scream’ from Tori Amos’ ‘Professional Widow’.
Featuring remixes by Deadmau5, Jackson Q, J Tease, Nino Anthony, and Arjuna Schiks, this will be a huge hit across the oceans, having already scooped the Best Dance Recording at the 2008 Juno Awards in Canada. But for English beaches it just won’t work.
Released on Toronto’s premiere party label, Play Records, it’s a bit of a let-down, especially since Deadmau5 is a producing/DJing genius. The laxy-daisy “whoa-a-whoas” just add insult to injury and it is only towards the middle section that there is some grit with a thumping bass line.
It blames us, saying “all you ever want is the magic”. Maybe we should just stop hoping for a classic summer anthem and we might just get one...
