Craving a shot of A Great Big World and Christina Aguilera but don’t have the emotional wherewithal to listen to heart-crunching ballad “Say Something” — at least in its original format? Well, good news. The break-up anthem has been made slightly less depressing by Chris Saso, who transforms it into a brooding mid-tempo dance track.

Upping the BPM on a song this sparse and tender could have been a disaster but the DJ matches the dueling vocals with a suitably glum/pretty electronic sound palette. The result is a dark and dreamy remix that allows “Say Something” — and its message — to shine in a whole new genre. Listen to the moody EDM overhaul after the jump.
