great 80s remixes make you feel good.

so i was kind of deciding on which track to post, but i decided to just post all ‘em.
yesterday at pitchfork HQ, they were showing me some tunes and pulled together a rough mix in prep for their p4k ATP fest dj set. we came across this jam from nu shooz, a great song in itself but this remix itself is just mint, just elevates the track to another level. transcendent dancefloor stuff.
these remixes have all taken already great tracks and thrown in some mental elements that elevate them to another level. these tracks are all fucking great, the all have a sort of signature 80s sound, and they make you feel oh so good. sure to rock your next dance party. maria magdalena in particular is a huge favorite of mine, but really i love them all.

going through p2k this week i hit the handy play button pretty much all the tracks i didn’t know. i came upon this track at #152. apparently, it’s the reason they got signed, and while i’ve discovered i can’t really sit through their entire album, this track is a great postrock/scat gem.
says p4k,
It’s beautiful for many reasons– Robert Johnston’s lyrical guitar work and Sue Tompkins’ genius-baby sing-speak embody pure delight. But mostly, it’s beautiful because it feels like the stuff of spontaneous inspiration, the splatter-paint syllables falling into unrepeatable patterns. Remarkably, this is an illusion, as the faithful version captured on Live at the Annandale Hotel attests. The dense wordplay and Rorschach-blot diction make the hundredth listen feel almost as fresh as the first (in 2009, for instance, opening line “If I lose you” sounds an awful lot like “Fallujah”). But the emotional baseline, bursting with love and quavering with doubt, remains satisfyingly constant –Brian Howe
