Singled Out: Army of the Universe's The Magic
. This song was not meant to be this song. It was a whole direct thing, but after a computer crash we lost some of the original files; it was too painful to rebuild it. It was meant to be called "The Last One," in fact this track should have been the last track to record for our second album The Hipster Sacrifice back in 2013. We were listening to the remaining files and this particular lyric part caught our attention. We decided to drop the original idea, not to include the song in the album and we agreed on reworking the mix around this catchy vocal. We loaded a new session and Trebla cut some of the original guitars to make a brand new riff, the one the song starts with. The riff was the game changer. We finally had a big fat guitar which we could combine with our typical heavy electro drums and a touch of analog. Here we go� The idea was there, printed. We just needed to blend the old parts in it and it fell like working on a remix, which is a little weird. But that was the final approach. We took that way, we called our friend and co-producer Gosteffects in New York and simply told him: "John, the track is there but we are still missing some kick-ass sound design element to make it real. Keep this arrangement but treat it as a remix". John knew exactly what to do. One week later the track we received the first mix and that was basically it. Some more facelift and we knew we had our single. We needed one in order to warm up for our new album which will come later on 2016. "The Magic" has its own video (watch it here) and a great remix by EDM superstar producer Deorro (here). Learn more about the group right here!
