Blog Burner: Yeasayer - I Remember (Villa Remix)

BLOG BURNER:

When Yeasayer released 'Odd Blood' last year we found it hard to get past the heart-breaking sonics of 'I Remember'. Even now after our initial infatuation we still regard it as one of the greatest love songs of the last ten years, so to hear Villa work their magic on it was a very satisfying moment. Over 8 minutes the Belgian duo envelop you in a sparkling soundscape which maintains the raw emotion of the original but also builds on it with an elegant nuance. Catch Villa at Death Disco on March 19th.

Next up, we've got some soulful Funky vibes to hit you off with, and while we may know nothing about 'Under Control' as a collective we can tell you that this has some serious hype going for it. Much like Major Lazer's remix of Gyptian the M1-Organ has been used here with great affect, sitting comfortably behind a silk-smooth vocal, this a classic UK sound brought right up to date.

Rolling on a similar vibe, here we have something fresh from Atlanta based producer David Heartbreak. It appears dance music's newest genre 'Moombahton' already has a subdivision, the somewhat unimaginatively titled 'Moombahsoul'. As we know, it's all about slowing it down with Moombah and while 'Bahton' may be jump-up and slamming, 'Bahsoul' is lo-fi and grooving. The funny thing is, if we'd written this segment five years ago it would mean absolutely nothing.

Lastly, Brodinski has come out of hiding to give The Aikiu's new single a crushing Techno-tinged re-fix. There's no other way to describe this really than no-nonsense, dancefloor fodder. The French lothario gives it a big booming kick, some menacing key changes and a rather standardised breakdown. Not mind-blowing but certainly useful as a set breather for the more 'banging' disco jockeys amongst you..
