Mersiv just remixed an alt-rock cult classic.
Out today, the multi-faceted bass producer’s official remix of Superheaven’s “Youngest Daughter” boosts the grunge-soaked song’s buzzy guitars into a bassweight baptism.
After the original song from Superheaven’s breakout 2013 album, Jar, experienced a social media renaissance and got the band back together more than a decade after its release, Mersiv’s reverent remake has quickly become a fan-favorite live moment and one of his most requested IDs.
Rather than a standard festival flip that cuts iconic melodies into bass madness, the new remix preserves the raw emotion and defining grit of the classic, but cranks the dial up to 11.
As “grungegaze,” a rapidly emerging subgenre blending alternative, hardcore, numetal, and shoegaze, continues to take root in the rock world amid Superheaven’s unlikely comeback, its entrance into the electronic realm on Mersiv’s new remix further reveals long-held similarities between ravers and rockers in this generation of music fandom.
