Last month we saw London-based record producer Alex Adair drop his sparkling summer
single Casual. Known by many for his huge contribution to the global dance scene with
single Make Me Feel Better, it is only natural that the catchy dance-crossover track has been
making waves; clocking up over 1 million plays on Spotify. Following a string of equally
impressive remixes, it is now the turn of German-based producer Not Your Dope to shake
things up, unleashing a fresh trap-influenced twist on Casual.
2017 is shaping up to be a milestone year for Not Your Dope, with a fistful of releases and
collaborations already under his belt. To date, the young producer has remixed industry
heavyweights The Chainsmokers, and has picked up support from the likes of EDM Sauce
and We Rave You, as well as reaching #1 on the EDM.com chart. Hot from the heels of an
impressive few months, the young producer is quickly making a name for himself, and this
remix comes as no exception.
Lacing his musical DNA into Adair’s sun-kissed anthem, Not Your Dope’s take on Casual
exudes charisma and subtlety in equal measure. Keeping much of the original intact, the
producer gives the track a sturdier backbone with a bigger bassline, demonstrating his
impeccable production skills from the onset. Cleverly weaving in his trademark trap
influences, Not Your Dope delivers expertly crafted melodic horns underpinned by energy-
laden drum patterns.
