I think I wrote quite a lot about Bloc Party. Interesting band. I really hated their 1st album. If we’d had a blog then I would’ve totally written a hate post about it and all the indie kinds could’ve started throwing rocks. Nevermind, Intimacy was awesome and they follow it up with this single, One More Chance. It already has a buzz and with remixes floating around (speaking of a remix-wise very conscious band) it’ll get more and more attention, more and more chances, haha. Check the music video below. I think this video is supposed to be ‘funny’ while being ’serious on a different level’ and making the funny sad. The song is about the doomed attempts for the ‘one more’. Looking forward to seeing the band this year at Sziget festival.

Now, Alex Metric who played here recently at a Kollektiva Rave, took the song and fabricated a really cool club-friendly edit from the track. The original is already dancey in Bloc Party’s way, Alex Metric’s is just destined to be a dancefloor-faveourite. The main part is the often returning piano stuff and that’s where every tension bulding and vocal-standout ends. Awesome summer track for open air clubbing. Pay attention to Alex Metric (unlike we did until now) the guy is really something. The recent edits of Lisztomania as well as his own EP stuff is great, we’ll be following him in the future post-wise too.
