Dealing with remixes is a difficult task. How much of the original track is left in the mix? Is this even a remix, I can’t tell the difference? When Kylie Minogue decided to go the house/dance/pop-hybrid route on her new album, the result was mixed, no pun intended. The tracks that work really work, and the tracks that don’t are of course your run-of-the-mill pop anthems.
What is even more interesting to consider, however, is the amount of producers and artists who tend to flock to the remix table once a pop queen like Kylie invites them all with a thumping, dance beat record like X. The remixes for “In My Arms” and “Wow” are staggering in quality and melody, without a doubt made for the harder dance floors.
Canada’s MSTRKRFT make a habit out of remixing established artists, and their remix of Kylie’s “Wow” is, perhaps, the best damn song made for Audiosurf (with a notable exception of their remix of Justice’s “D.A.N.C.E.”).
Time to move on from the sludging, slow and melancholic post-rock/hardcore acts we’ve presented before, and go electronic here on Kezins. What better way to do that than with this awesome track from MSTRKRFT.
Five bucks to whoever beats my ninja high score…
