@edmmusicig: That famous “dolphin” sound in the drop isn’t a synth... it’s Justin Bieber’s voice Released in 2015, Where Are Ü Now by Jack Ü (Skrillex & Diplo) featuring Justin Bieber became one of the defining electronic hits of the decade. The track started as a piano demo called “The Most,” written by Bieber and Poo Bear, before Bieber’s manager Scooter Braun sent the vocals to Diplo, who then teamed up with Skrillex to completely reimagine it into the future bass / EDM-pop record we know today. The song’s iconic “dolphin” sound in the drop was actually created by taking a snippet of Bieber singing “I need you the most,” pitching it up two octaves, and heavily processing it with distortion and EQ. The result turned a simple vocal into one of the most recognizable hooks in modern dance music — helping the track reach No. 8 on the Billboard Hot 100 and win the 2016 Grammy for Best Dance Recording.
