the case of an awesome remix of an awesome song
November 3, 2007 | Filed Under music | 1 Comment
I often run into the misfortune of hearing a great song, and then hearing a remix of it that’s absolutely horrid. I’m not going to name any names, because that’s not what I’m about (tonight).
This is not one of those situations. The PAM sporting kids Klaxons‘ “As Above, So Below” turned out to be one of my favorite tracks from their album Myths of the Near Future and I was insanely pumped when I found out one of the TUFTSMANIA OGs, Justice, was working on a remix of Klaxons. I wondered what it would be for a long time, but I eventually forgot about it. About a month ago, it dropped somewhat quietly in the blog scene, and I was too busy [with school] to write about it.
Let me tell you now, this is one of my tracks of 2007. Klaxons and Justice, word to your mom?
you may recognize the justice track from my halloween party set last week.
here’s the original
Klaxons - As Above, So Below
and the remix
Klaxons - As Above, So Below (Justice As a Fool, So Believes RMX)
Make sure you check out my homie Disaster over at missingtoof who notes the influence of the oldschool doobie brothers in the justice version.
Throwbacks to classic oldies artists are starting to become a staple in Justice’s sound, and I’m down!

I’m here, just got off on lunch break after 6 hours of clinicals and class. I go and check my mail…what do we have here?? The homies over at Mathematikal, doing their thing in London, dropped this BANGGGERR in my face.
Everyone knew Justice’s D.V.N.O. with vocals from Scenario Rock’s Mehdi Pinson would be a club hit, but the remixes keep coming. LA Riots just did their own little twist to the track, and now one of my recent favs, Mathematikal.
This remix is sooo legit. They bring the PLONK and make the booty go BLAM!!
Thanks Jon and Jay Mathematikal for making lunch breaks worthwhile!
you heard it here first!

But I’d much rather listen to music. Well, most of you have heard of Scenario Rock because of Justice and the remix of Skitzo Dancer but I know a lot of you haven’t heard the original band’s sounds. This is a rather recent track from Scenario Rock and the lead singer who’s also featured on DVNO from Justice’s upcoming album is in full force with his quirky lyrics (funny as hell) and awesome accent.
…and if you know me, you know I’m not one to listen to lyrics.
“who’s that chick, she smells like an armpit”
“i won’t be difficult ’cause i’m not brad pitt”
new track: scenario rock - Pefect Love Antidote
