Hiya just a quick one here. We’ve already wrote a couple of times about Villains (one, two), brilliant LA dj duo. We also wrote about the return single of Dragonette, Fixin to Thrill, a supersexy nu rock dance-anthem that grew on me. This latter had remixes by Don Diablo and Kimono Kops too but the Villains’ one that was just sent to us totally rules the floor. A smart and heavy electro tune that kept the sexy and rocking atmosphere of the original. And it builds up in a way that suggest mastery of craftsmanship. Love it!

Toronto-based Dragonette had a quite a good run a while back with that bouncy summer jam in ’07 (I Get Around), and later with the fun remake of Calvin Harris (boys instead of girls). Fast forward two years and they’re back in the game. This time a bit more on the slightly alt rock-pop tip, but working fine for me.

Dutch editor-of-everything-these-days Don Diablo did a pretty straightforward lengthening out of the original with a long gap about 4 minutes in for reasons unbeknownst…

Not sure if this will gain traction like they did in ’07 but i’m ready to give it some listens in the meantime.
