We’re all in the clouds

Introducing Crystal Fighters and their track “X-tatic Truth”. Expect to hear this remixed heavily all summer, which is testament to the fact that the original has so much worth pillaging.

Crystal Fighters are another act coming off the Kitsune label in Paris, who incidentally have brought out their Autumn/Winter range which is called “graduate” and is pretty preppy hot if you ask me, see below for evidence and here for further info.

Thanks to Kitsune for the image.

I really like this track, the plucky sitar-esque start reminds me of the sample used in the 90s dancefloor filler, ‘Heart of Asia’ by Watergate (the memory of which reminded me of Hi-Gate “Pitchin” which was a heavy late 90s track, watch it here). Then it sweeps into some classic spacey, existential vocals and then the big kick-in and associated rinse out – this track will do more dancefloor carvery than Freddy Kruger on Elm Street. Remixes to look out for are Benni Benassi and The Magistrates.

I’m just putting together a new Spotify playlist which should replace our old Project Playlist set up, considering that they appear to have been pulled down, boo hoo. In the interim, Drowned in Sound have put together a !100 songs of 2009! playlist, which is the sex. Get on it here.

Off to Oasis this evening, hopefully I can manage to pull this off…
