Dyland's Top Twenty Remixes #13

Australian musician Pogo did the impossible: He made minions NOT annoying.

At #13 "Gruve" does a good job encapsulating the heartwarming story of the first Despicable Me movie, which many people forget due to the minions. The song is very chill, with a slower pace through most of the song only really ramping up in the chorus, and it checks off the wholesome tickbox.

"Now you brush the fur'" is a particular favourite line of mine because her voice is quite soothingly harmonic. In choosing the voice samples you can distort the voice lines and pitch shift it to anything you want, which sounds very very robotic and ruins the life in the sample. Pogo, however, keeps that beautiful balance between pitch shifting and natural harmonic vocals within the samples. It takes true skill to pick and choose these samples and craft it into a pleasing melody!
