Tronik Youth not remix

Monday, May 26th, 2008

Slow, dirty and heavy and recalling a different era that isn’t too removed from today but I can’t exactly place my finger on it, Tronik Youth’s new single shows how to keep a modest pace while not losing any hottness. Already there are several remixes of Laugh Cry Live Die floating around and undoubtedly there will be countless more — but I’m holding out and sticking to the original — in part because he deserves the credit on the back of the many deft remixes he’s put under his belt to date (Goose, The Gossip, and MGMT among other standouts).

Things are only on the up and up for Tronik so check him out live in London-town or on the festival circuit this summer.

A name like Tronik Youth means responsibility. London-based DJ Neil Parnell tries to live up to it. The thing is that he’s kinda too hip to make it. He made remixes for The Gossip, Chromeo, The Rakes and Goose among others. He’s been remixed by Punks Jump Up (see post below), Franz and Shape, etc. This is way too hip. Nevertheless his discofied sonical landscapes are quite interesting. Monotonous and experimental but danceable and it feels like noise in electro. The great impossibility of sound in space is dissolved here. Imagine a giant dancefloor with stars for disco balls which is - in spite - a temple for the ultimate goddess ‘Claustrophobia’. This is the place where the music of Tronik Youth belongs to and this is the mood which makes it worthy for the name.
