Italian producer shutdown rides high on the back of over 1 million plays of his music on Spotify. His latest offering sees the creative join forces with Cimosko, to re-illuminate one of the previous decade’s most iconic pop hits.
Leading with his own iconic originality at the helm, shutdown crafts a beat both colourful and intense – a careful balancing of industrial and upbeat, mainstream qualities, as Carly Rae Jepson’s unmistakable Maybe rings out and resounds alongside.
Something of a complete reworking but also just as catchy and structurally complete as the original, shutdown’s Maybe welcomes bright additional keys, classic hi-hats and basslines, and moments of instrumental reflection that naturally light up the peak crescendos of the song.
shutdown’s versatility as a producer is undeniable, and his appreciation for music shines brightly in both the samples chosen and the details and design techniques that vary throughout his extensive repertoire. This modern take on Maybe is impressively pop-focused but also creatively alternative enough to turn heads, and that’s precisely the trait that shutdown fans have come to love about his ever-unpredictable take on music.
