Monkey Safari have been creating music that is infectious, which purely wakens your consciousness to a unique, deep sound. They focus the details and depth of each beat, rather than creating a big room or a dirty dutch feel that fans typically rage over.
Now, Tiesto takes their track, ‘Coming Down’ (Hi-Life), into his own hands, transforming this subtle track into a mediocre progressive-house song. Personally, I am not a fan of the remix because it lacks the ingenuity and spark that was so vibrant in the Monkey Safari‘s version. The original was able to shift your attention to the mournful yet soulful vocals and the perfection of each beat. Yet, Tiesto fell short once again with predictable arrangements and lackluster melodies that I can’t simply appreciate.

Idk, Tiesto is simply turning a relaxed song into another house-bounce song.
Regardless, I think he sampled the vocals perfectly imo.
Were you expecting something else from Tiesto?
I’m not going to complain about it. This is probably the only decent or even listenable remix that I’ve heard from him in the past two years.
The remix is too predictable, he lost the soul of the original into the depth of another genre
as wrong as the “author” of this article is, I have to thank her for showing me yet another brilliant tiesto track. don’t know how you get more uplifting than this in a remix
Very uplifting melody, well mixed vocals, and as far as progressive house goes this is a solid track. That being said, what i think Taleen was trying to say was that he could do better. This is a song you’d hear a newer producer come up with. Not much originality, or risk taking, which is what we love to see in tiesto. I think we all miss the “adagio for strings” tiesto. But I’ve realized he’s in the point of his career where he wants to go for what the masses like, just like afrojack. They have the talent, they just arent using it anymore because hey, they dont have to.
