I suppose post should get shorter around the fifth one/day. The subject this time is the official Delorean remix of Mystery Jets‘ Half in Love with Elizabeth. The single was out on the 25th of August. They say in their email that “it feels more like a version than a remix somehow…We kept the vocals and then just throwed in there many of the things we like in music and probably define our sound as a band: House pianos, epic synths, Bmore breaks, etc. Hope you like it!” and we certainly do. The Mystery Jets album was a really good one this year. They are one of the few London indie-kids who managed to keep it fresh and exciting. Combined with Spanish band, Delorean who made a blog-fire with remixing Love No by The Teenagers (what, is this a fixation with song titles including love?) this new version of the song is just a perfect blend of light electro and indie - they lifeliked it! Haha, no, really it reminds me of Lifelike’s edits. Spain is awesome.

It wasn’t so long ago that we directed you to a fine pair of tracks put out by Hercules and Love Affair (DFA records). But we couldn’t pass up showing some love to Riton’s rub job on You Belong. The longtime London dj fave does a great job keeping the feeling of the original while injecting just the right level of energy. The result is a happy and bouncy tribute that is refreshingly mindless… in a good a way as that can be. H & LA have jumped the pond and are now playing some dates in the UK along with a selection of euro-festival dates. Could we see the sziget added to that? Hope.

It should be pointed out however that Kunk’s all time favorite Riton edit remains his stellar work on the Mystery Jets a couple years back.  Likewise we think it’s about time homeboy comes ’round Budapest for a guest set.
