Reactions
In an article titled This Video of Confused Ibiza Clubbers Is an Ode to the Beautiful Disappointment of Life on the website Vice, Angus Harrison takes a philosophical approach to an Ibiza nightclub video where Maceo Plex plays the Four Tet remix of Opus to a bewildered crowd. Although Angus comments that he likes both versions, he feels like the Four Tet remix is superior because it lacks the standard drop that is, in his view, too common and too formulaic.
Opus was first played as the finale track for Prydz's 2015 set at EDC Las Vegas. In just over a month after first play, the song was released on Beatport.[10] It has been played as the penultimate track in all seven EPIC 4.0 sets thus far.[11]
