Much like his other releases this rework of the classic hit ‘Mr. Brightside‘ by The Killers is proof that whatever Don Diablo touches, turns to GOLD! Started off as a fun little rework exclusively for his live DJ sets, this rework quickly got such immense love from all the Hexagonians making it one of Don‘s most wonderful and highly awaited productions to date. And as an artist who dearly loves his fans, it was imminent that he reached out to the legendary indie-rock band The Killers for his version of the release. Check out his statement below about the whole journey of this stellar track.
Mr. Brightside by The Killers is not only one of the biggest indie rock anthems of all times it has also been a big part of the soundtrack of my life since the day it was released. Originally I just wanted to make a special version of the song exclusively for my DJ sets, but reactions have been so strong that we decided to reach out to the band and their management. A few years went by but then suddenly the last pieces of the puzzle fell together and I got the official blessing to release my version of “Mr Brightside” for the rest of the world. I tried to maintain the spirit of the original whilst adding some more emotional and melodic layers, so I hope you guys enjoy it as much as I enjoyed working on the song. Sometimes we all need a little reminder to embrace the BRIGHT SIDE of life. MISS you guys, LOVE you guys,
– Don
