Tiesto Remixes U.K. Dubstep Wunderkind Joker

Bristol, England-based dubstep producer Joker is set to release debut album The Vision on November 8 via 4AD. But Joker, aka Liam McLean, is teasing the album whole bunch of singles, including a just-issued double A-side featuring new songs "Here Come the Lights" and "My Trance Girl." Now comes a remix of "Here Come the Lights" by Dutch mega-DJ Tiësto. Hear it here.

"Here Come the Lights" features R&B-tinged vocals by Silas Bjerregaard of Danish synth-rockers Turboweekend. In its original version, the track is choppy, moody dubstep, with the requisite bass-wobbling and plenty of eerie electronic squiggles. Tiësto's remix adds a pounding house beat, reshaping the track to send bigger audiences into frenzies. 

For those who purchase The Vision in November, there's one detail to clarify: On the album, "Here Come the Lights" is titled "Slaughter House." This summer, after the tragic mass shooting in Norway, Joker renamed the song, originally "Slaughter House," as "Here Come the Lights." according to a 4AD spokesperson. But for the finished record, the original title has been retained.
