New Audio: Rhythm Scholar Shares a Club Friendly Remix of Duran Duran’s “Wild Boys”

Throughout the course of this site’s close to 14 year history, I’ve managed to spill copious amounts of virtual ink covering the ridiculously prolific, New York-based producer, DJ, remixer and JOVM mainstay Rhythm Scholar. And during that same period, the New York-based JOVM mainstay has built a profile both nationally and internationally for crafting slickly produced, crowd-pleasing mashups and remixes. 

Earlier this week, I wrote about Rhythm Scholar’s woozy remix of one of my favorite Tears for Fears tunes “Change.” Continuing upon his reputation for being remarkably prolific, the JOVM mainstay artist gave Duran Duran‘s 1984 track “Wild Boys” a sleek remix that features chopped up vocals for the hook, several Duran Duran samples peppered throughout, some blazing guitar work form Andy Sexton and a club friendly thump while retaining Simon Le Bon‘s vocal, the memorable hook and the synth melody among others.

New Audio: JOVM Mainstay Rhythm Scholar Shares Woozy and Club Friendly Remix of Tears for Fears’ “Change”

Throughout the course of this site’s close to 14 year history, I’ve managed to spill copious amounts of virtual ink covering the ridiculously prolific, New York-based producer, DJ, remixer and JOVM mainstay Rhythm Scholar. And during that same period, the New York-based JOVM mainstay has built a profile both nationally and internationally for crafting slickly produced, crowd-pleasing mashups and remixes.

Earlier this year, Rhythm Scholar released a woozy remix of one of my favorite Tears for Fears tunes “Change” that retains familiar and beloved elements of the song, including the vocal melody, the chiming and percussive synth line, the squiggling New Wave guitar figure and the acclaimed duo’s uncanny knack for anthemic hooks paired with a spacious and dreamy, club friendly production.
