[INDIE/ELECTRO] Smallpools - "Dreaming" (The Chainsmokers Remix)

Smallpools‘ chart topping single “Dreaming” took the blogosphere by storm, hitting the #1 spot on Hypem within days of it’s release. It’s one of those tracks whose breezy, summer vibes instantly make you feel just a little better about your day. Produced by Captain Cuts, the single has a darker side, however, as the band talks below to the true meaning of the lyrics: your perfectly controlled situation spiraling into total shit.

Now up and coming NY duo The Chainsmokers, comprised of Drew Taggart & Alex Pall, have given the single an electrified update, replacing the sunny guitar licks of the original with keys, syncopated synths, and a driving house beat. Listen to both tracks below and head over to The Chainsmokers Soundcloud and Smallpools’ Soundcloud for free downloads of both!

The band explains the song: “In contrast to the upbeat vibe of the music, the song talks about a moment where everything goes wrong in a situation where you thought you had it all figured out. A moment we’ve all experienced to some degree, but most often if we’re lucky, in a dream where we get to wake up in a sweat and say, “Phewf, ok, that wasn’t real.”
