Lana Del Rey - Born To Die (Gemini Remix)

Yet another amazing track by Gemini! Following up his huge EP "Fire Inside" Gemini's remix of kinky queen Lana Del Rey's smash single hit Beatport. This track had been sitting on Gemini's Soundcloud for 4 months but still premiered on Beatport as an exclusive track, making the home page. Personally, I am a huge fan of both Lana and Gemini and having listened to nearly all of Gemini's tracks I can truly say he really knows his shit. He is a master of almost all genres though he excels at Dubstep, creating flawless drops rich with vibrating bass on some ("No Way Out and "Whiskers" being two great examples) and catchy, melodic leads on others (see "Fire Inside" and "Vision"). In nearly all cases however, these two elements have been combined into a masterpiece of sound; Gemini owns the game.
Lana Del Rey adds a whole to level to his producing. He totally recreated her song with a new beat, sick synthes, and piano. My only dislike in his entire remix would be the fact that he took some focus away from the totally unique and astounding vocals and focused it on the synthes. With a voice as beautiful as Lana's you got to play it up as much as possible. Overall though, Gemini did a fantastic job with this song none the less. 

Here is Gemini's remix of "Born to Die":


 Lana's shit has gotten remixed by many DJs and a lot of these remixes are really impressive. A few of these really stood out alongside Gemini's are of the same song he did. Give these remixes of "Video Games" a look:
