this is an ingenious remix... they turned a modern rock song into a straight up contemporary disco song. takes true talent to create such a masterpiece. hence MSTRKRFT
because music is about expression, not always making a better song, thats what remixing is about. Showing your interpretation or appreciation of a particular song.
See I'm an idiot and had no clue Jesse Keeler from Death From Above is one half of MSTRKRFT even after hearing this remix. I only found out recently lol, super talented guy.
Gah! I tell my friends time and time about Masterkraft and they all just ignore me... Their loss. But I don't understand why Masterkraft's so under-rated...
Well for one KISS only play R&B and yeah I have ListenED to KISS but I'm not a regular listener. Some shops and places you go have it on in the background too. I like the more soft rock kind of music like Bloc Party than R&B
Yeah, Jesse F Keeler was the guy who played synth/ridiculously awesomely tuned and applied rhythm or something bass guitar, which this demonstrates pretty neatly. Do a search for "death from above amsterdam" and check out the vids for 'going steady' and 'do it', wicked DFA moments there. He's the one with the moustache, :D
damn, always hard to judge wich one is better; the original or the remix ? ;) well, in this case... I think the remix is maybe a little bit better :P :)
C'mon, they are way beyond "decent" music!! Even if you don't like this track, look through their songs, every song is good. Most bands have 2 or 3 songs that are good, Bloc has every song they've ever done!! So yeah, I think they are the best band around at the moment. Name one other band that's better!
@razjaz9 You should check out other great remixers, you probably just have heard bad techno stuff (I'm just guessing since I don't know you). Check out soulwax, justice, and james holden. These guys turned mixing into art!
