Synthetiseur (Van She Remix)


I'm on the fence with this one. It's alright....
First off, getting a Van She mix in the mail is like Christmas come early. I follow Van She with stalker like precision, having built up immense adoration for their work with Klaxons, Feist, Das Pop, The Presets, Sneaky Soundsystem (etc).

After the so-so Ze remixes, I feel like Van She had a lot to prove to their loyal audience. This remix is nice, but not very memorable (leaning heavily on unchanging repetition and a safe by the book build up and break down). The feel of a Van She mix is there, but I would still consider their work with Groove Armada's 'Drop the Tough' to be the last really good dynamic Van She remix.


As for emerging Housse de Racket (who really deserve the most focus here) their single has sparked the attention of listeners worldwide and the promoting crew have cleverly pushed the energetic appeal of the Housse de Racket live show.

Check out the full version of the live Housse video which was previously floating around in the form of a teaser.
