Maroon 5: Check Out Sailors’ Remix Of Pop Band’s ‘Summer’ Hit
From the archive: published Jul 9, 2015, 11 years ago. Details may have changed since.
For Maroon 5, this summer’s gonna actually be pretty great. At least it will as long as we have new and emerging SoundCloud artists like Sailors remixing songs we love.
Take Maroon 5’s “This Summer’s Gonna Hurt,” for instance. The SoundCloud pair known as Sailors dropped a dance-infused remix of Maroon 5’s hit “This Summer” that sounds more like it belongs at a nightclub than in the setlist of a Maroon concert. Your EDM got some information about other songs Sailors released on SoundCloud and gave up the goods on this new take of Maroon 5’s song as well.
“A few months ago, aspiring duo Sailors from Mexico delighted us with their original track “Diamonds.” Now they have a brand new remix of Maroon 5, and it’s quite different from any of the other remixes I’ve heard.
“The tropical house infused sounds combine perfectly with the vocals, and the slower BPM captures a more raw essence of the original song. It also slightly reminds me of indie dance music, which when produced properly, sounds truly amazing.”
It’s safe to say the Maroon 5/Sailors remix is definitely produced properly, and just to make things better, it’s available for free download from SoundCloud. It’s worth checking out if you’re a fan of EDM and club music, and if you’re not, prepare to be converted. It’s too profane to post here, but you can check out an uncensored version of the Maroon 5 remix on Twitter.

According to the Inquisitr, Maroon 5 recently got tangled up in a hoarding scandal involving tickets for their concert. However, the band seems to have recovered and is moving on. This remix will likely only help bring attention back to the Maroon 5 track off of which it’s based.

The remix begins with an ominous rumbling sound that leads into a laid back, tropical-sounding electronic keyboard groove. Clearly audible elements of electronic dance music and trance-esque grooves supply the background for the chorus, whereas Maroon 5’s original was edgier and sounded closer to a rock song. Electronic dance music news site EDM Sauce gave the Maroon 5 remix a favorable review and even touted it as being better than the original song.
“The tropical house duo [Sailors] does not depend on the original’s catchy one liner, merely using what the original has to offer with their own unique style.”
Perhaps ironically, the remix actually sounds happier and more upbeat than the original. In addition to Maroon 5, Sailors have taken on other best-selling pop artists, including Ed Sheeran, Ariana Grande, and Iggy Azalea. The Maroon 5 track is their latest work, and they’re pretty darn proud of it.
Very thankful with @EDMsauce for their everlasting support! We love you guys! http://t.co/in9wcsgPZ4
