Wanna hear an official proof that summer’s here? That is definetly Pony Pony Run Run’s new tune: Hey You. France gives us the best mood-setters for summer on the indie-electro wave. After Phoenix’s album, PPRR will be the audience’s reminder of that. With this track PPRR is still going strong after previous Kunk-guest, Anoraak left them. It was a year ago that Kunk was totally absorbed in their Boy/Girl Surrender’s summer edit. We even selected it for a French summer-blog-playlist at Streetkiss! It’s safe to say that PPRR is definetly a summer-vibe act. Hey You is elegant and fun, it’s subtle and energetic. Of course, it has a hint of grief for youth and love. Check the video below and see for yourself the summer-smoothness in Asia.

As for sayCet, I don’t think we have to introduce him to Kunk-readers. This time he brings a remix of Hey You (PPRR made a remix competiton out of it, ran by Fairtilizer) which is a really fit transformation of the original sound and mood. sayCet has the talent to make something very different look like that it could’ve been the original, if you know what I mean. His fingerprint epic-melancholy makes the remix a great pair for the original: we could like label the original ‘day/happy/dusk mix’ and the sayCet ‘night/sad/dawn mix’ or something like that. (The whole matter is not that simple, both versions are full of ambiguity but both are playing on the smiling sadness, sad smiles scale.) Echoes and jingling synths make up this unique rework which ends in sorrowful silence. Amazing.
