After establishing himself as a formidable force on the global stage with over 10,000 tickets sold for his high-octane live performances, Nic Vans is finally pivoting his momentum into the studio. The emerging talent has officially made his production debut, delivering a high-energy remix of California-based trio Łaszewo’s breakout single, “3AM,” released through Carter Gregory’s Plot Twist Records.
A New Chapter for Nic Vans
Łaszewo, known for their unique blend of electronic pop, two-producer instrumentation, and captivating vocal performances, provided the perfect foundation for Vans’ inaugural production effort. The original track’s melodic sensibilities remain intact, yet they are reimagined through a lens that prioritizes the visceral, sweat-drenched energy that has become a hallmark of a Nic Vans DJ set. By injecting the track with a new rhythmic intensity, Vans proves that his transition from the booth to the DAW is seamless.
Sonic Anatomy of the 3AM Remix
The production, which was executive produced by Vans in collaboration with Warden & Bloom, is a masterclass in modern club-ready sound design. The track utilizes several key elements that cater to a variety of environments, from mainstage festivals to intimate club settings:
- Pumping Synths: The core of the remix features driving, rhythmic synth lines that push the tempo forward.
- Heavy Sub-Bass: Designed to test the limits of modern sound systems, the low-end frequency response is both precise and punishing.
- Trap-Pop Hi-Hats: These provide a modern, percussive flair that keeps the track feeling fresh and contemporary.
- Reverbed Vocals: The vocal performance is given a spacious, atmospheric treatment that adds emotional depth to the high-energy instrumental.
The Future of the Artist
This remix is more than just a creative exercise; it is a declaration of intent. Having proven his ability to command a crowd, Nic Vans is now showing that he understands the technical requirements of crafting records that resonate across workout playlists, pregame sessions, and dancefloors alike. With the backing of Plot Twist Records and a clear stylistic vision, this debut serves as a strong foundation for what promises to be a prolific production career. As he continues to bridge the gap between his live performances and his studio output, fans should expect a steady stream of releases that maintain this same level of intensity and polish.
