DRMAGDN is a cyborg drummer/DJ, live electronic performer, producer, and music director based in New York City. Not too long ago, he released a lovely pop remix single, titled, “Something (Beatles Remix),” featuring singer, Michelle Ray.

‘Something (Beatles Remix)’ is a soaring homage/remix of The Beatles’ classic single, “Something.” After signing with BMG, DRMAGDN was given the rights to dig into George Harrison’s catalog, and he enlisted Michelle Ray (Team Blake on Season 4 of The Voice) and a cast of other heavy hitters to help take his re-working of “Something” to new heights. The result is an extremely memorable, drum-heavy, electronic-leaning gem that accomplishes what many remixes/covers don’t. It does justice to the original, and then some.
DRMAGDN not only recreated the legendary Abbey Road album cover in NYC for the artwork for his remix, but he also traveled to all the New York spots The Beatles originally hit like JFK Airport, Carnegie Hall, and The Ed Sullivan Theater, during their initial “Beatlemania” trip to the U.S. in 1964.
“Something in the way she moves attracts me like no other lover.”
“‘Something’ is my favorite Beatles tune of all time. So, I jumped at the chance to do a modern remix of the song when BMG acquired George Harrison’s catalog. These musical shoes are the biggest in the world to fill, so I had to completely pull out all the stops on this Beatles tribute including nods to the artwork and a truly epic music video.” — DRMAGDN explained
Rounding out the all-star cast who contributed to the remix is Dave Eggar on strings (won a Grammy for work on Coldplay’s “Viva La Vida”), Danny Flam on horns (won a Grammy for work on Kanye/Rihanna’s “All Of The Lights”), Oscar Albis-Rodriquez on guitar/bass (A Great Big World, Sarah McLachlan), and vinyl mastering by Andy Vandette (David Bowie, U2, The Prodigy, Aerosmith, and Rush).
“You’re asking me will my love grow, I don’t know.”
DRMAGDN lives in the West Village in New York City. He has played The Winter Olympics, Lollapalooza, Warped Tour, Lincoln Center, Carnegie Hall, Metlife Stadium, Bamboozle Fest, MTV’s TRL, AOL Sessions, The View, The Today Show, and Royal Albert Hall. He has toured 31 Countries, and 43 US States, and can be heard on 250+ records. DRMAGDN has also been seen on Times Square Billboards and the side of NYC Buildings.
DRMAGDN writes, records, and produces all his tracks and remixes. He currently has 3M+ total views on his YouTube channels, 1M+ total plays on Spotify with 25k+ monthly listeners, 3M+ views and 350k+ followers on Instagram, 2M+ plays on SoundCloud, and 12M+ total views on his own and all influencer’s profiles on TikTok (200k+ followers), where his live streams hit 100k+ viewers per stream. DRMAGDN’s total is now over 21M+ total plays/views and 700K+ verified followers across all social media platforms.
“I don’t want to leave her now.”
Notably, for all of his releases, DRMAGDN makes a $250 philanthropic contribution to charities that speak to the heart of the song. Specifically, for “Something,” he donated to The Carnegie Hall Foundation for consideration for the educational clips in his music video, plus George Harrison’s charity The Material World Foundation which supports social, artistic, and cultural change worldwide.
