Dillon Francis – Without You (Remixes)

by chasgoudie EDM, Funky, Happy, Heavy • Tags: Dillon Francis, Doctor P, Flux Pavilion, Hayden James, Henry Fong, I.D.G.A.F.O.S., Low Steppa, Mad Decent, Torro Torro, Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs, Treasure Fingers

If this doesn’t get you hyped for December 14th, I don’t know what will.

Dillon Francis’ “Without You (feat. Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs)” just cannot be ignored. Ravers and electronic music lovers alike have become encapsulated with the chilled out single from one of the wackiest, out of this world producers we’ve seen in recent years. Dillon knows how to draw a crowd, that’s for sure. With a social media platform bred for fans from every facet of life, there’s no stopping the freight train of hype that is I.D.G.A.F.O.S.. With his wide variety of production skills and a posse of trend-setting artists by his side, DF has taken the music industry by storm. No other artist has the balls to do some of the things Dillon does on a nightly basis (cue the dancing cats and derogatory slogans). His latest project comes to us in the form of a seven song remix EP packed with a completely diverse group of producers. Each remix reassures Dillon’s ear for unique, inspiring talent across all sub-genres. As we previewed last week, Dillon also provided us with a personal rework of the original that may still stand as our favorite.

You be the judge, and sound off in the comment section. Or don’t, and continue to live your pathetic excuse for a life.

Just think: W.W.D.D.?

What Would Dillon Do? Probably find some way to troll my ass, that’s what. Damn you, Dillon. You’ve done it again!
