More LCD Soundsystem long song Monday action. In 2005 DFA released a single CD titled Holiday Mix, nine DFA tracks over fifty minutes, almost all remixes of DFA artists by others. Black Dice, LCD Soundsystem, The Juan MacLean, Delia Gonzales and Gavin Russom all appear with remixes from Loumo, Booka Shade, Cajmere, X- Press 2, Soulwax and Tiga. When playing this in the car recently this pair stood out...
Tiga, a producer, programmer and DJ from Canada, ramps up one of the key songs from LCD Soundsystem's self titled debut album, nearly eight minutes of uptempo, messed up, four- four dance floor mayhem. James Murphy doesn't appear until three minutes in, with a very New Order- esque vocal line- 'Everybody makes mistakes/ But I feel alright when I come undone'. Tiga keeps going, turning the knobs, synths and drums piling in, and there's a tension building breakdown at four and a half minutes, just Murphy and a bassline, before the snare and kick drum core- enter and everything gets full on and whizzy again.
As this is a mixed CD the next track segues in at seven minutes, the Soulwax remix of Daft Punk Is Playing At My House, and then unfortunately it comes to a very abrupt end. But you can cue this up to take over straight away and let it frazzle your senses. Soulwax pull no punches, everything in the red and overloaded.
