Escort
This remix brings me nothing but pure unabashed joy. There have been a bazillion remixes of Feist’s work -all to varying degrees of listenability- and until now Britt Daniel’s version has been my fave. That may soon change with a few more listens of this incredible track. Escort gives it a big band treatment with horns that will make your worries melt away. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

PUNCHES
I love me a bit of classic R&B and the PUNCHES brothers tease out all the greatest bits of this Jackie Wilson essential. They’re smart enough to know not to mess with it too much but instead they manipulate the breaks and original funk to build into an epic dance track. If I were responsible to get a group of people up and moving I would most certainly put this track in the mix.

¡Borracho!
Continuing in the vein of playing around with well known tunes I give you Borracho’s retake of Ram Jam’s Black Betty. I personally never would have thought to pull out the disco from the base beats in the original. The result is a lot of fun and just when you think you know where they’re going that cock their heads a bit and take you on a spacey tangent. There’s lots to notice hidden in this remix, tuck in and enjoy.
