Not the novelist.

Yacht Funk master, Hemingway just dished this one out to me which promptly made my pupils dilate and ears perk up with anticipation. It’s fun to watch as Hemingway continues to build his repertoire of sounds –especially the way he uses certain elements. I’m so down.

You last saw him early this year with a remix of Pelifics, and now he’s back with a remix of The Virgins‘ “Rich Girls”. It’s not as poppy as The Twelves remix, but it’s soooo funky, buttery disco. hand claps, spank da bass, run da bass, hand claps, butteriest piano synths ever, MONEY!

Seriously though, look out for the soprano synths @2:00 into the pseudo talk box synth @2:37?? WHAT???? then the bass solo breakdown @3:25.  It’ll make your nose bleed.

ps: I apologize for posting the shit quality track, anyone have a 320kbs version of this track? I cry every time I try to play it out. If anyone is in cahoots with either of the 12s please have their people contact my people. Don’t get clever and send me a transcode.  I will hunt you down.
