I know, everyone had enough of Ellie Goulding remixes and some probably of Ellie herself. Although she kinda disappeared from the radar lately, hasn’t she? Well, nevermind. Thing is that I would probably not post any more Ellie remixes, unless it’s something really cool. This time, it’s Alex Metric. You probably know how much Kunk loves to drop those grenades that come out from the studio of Mr. Drury, either his Bloc Party remix or “Sabotage” rework, we love it. For God’s sake, he can even make a shitty song like “Stylo” into an awesome and uplifting anthem. It’s not much of a surprise then, that the “Salt Skin” rework is banging and marching through huge drops into an euphoric beat and synth combo that can, I believe, ignite any dancefloor. We’ll put it to the test next time. Thanks for the track to Gotta Dance Dirty!

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.
