Zedd's League of Legends Theme is Lit

It's pretty crazy how massive E-gaming has become around the world. For one, it wasn't until recently that I learned there are dedicated play-by-play people who call the League of Legends World Championships battles. Here's a snippet of how it all goes down in a video that showcases a few stories that inspired the new track below...
Pretty cool to see neutral people calling battles who are so in-tune and know all the players and teams by name. And what's even better is how Zedd stepped up with Tim James to create a theme for the latest World Championship. Stylistically, it's as thumping and melodic as you'd expect. There's a palpable thump that leads the tempo, balancing out the mellow vocals and soft initial build up. I'm not a gamer, but that isn't stopping me from appreciating everything about this track...#Ignite

League of Legends Goes Full on EDM

Full disclosure, I'm definitely not a video game guy. Command and Conquer is about where I ended my PC and console gaming and that was back when MMO games were just starting to pop up. So when I hear about all this mobile and online gaming, I'm always amazed with how immersive and easily accessible gaming has become. It's literally a whole new universe and the stuff I used to play was seriously clunky, child's play in comparison.

The one really cool thing about gaming becoming big is the emerging cross over opportunities into music. For example, League of Legends reeled in a whole bunch of EDM talent and had them remix a bunch of instrumentals played throughout the game. If I had to pick a favorite on the 11 track Warsongs EP, I'd go with Marshmello's remix of Flash Funk. It has the crisp, but bouncy chords that he's becoming known for stylistically. You better believe it goes hard and sprinkles in the high pitched samples that are usually found in his best work. Even more unbelievably, all the tracks are free to download on Soundcloud, so have at it while it's still a free for all...#LeagueOfLegends
