As Promised, A Dope Remix

I promised last week on The Stu Reid Experiment twitter feed (@tsre – follow us!) that the Astronomer Remix of Micachu and the Shapes’ “Lips” would make an appearance on the site. Who am I if I do not live up to my promises?

This tune has been rattling through my braincage for a couple weeks, quickly climbing the playcount charts that iTunes embarrassingly maintains. Astronomer does a fantastic job taking a song that doesn’t sound like it needs a remix and really upping the ante. The song - which started life as a fairly out there indie rock/folk something something – is transformed into a tension/release banger with effected crunching beats and a pulsing lower register. Makes me want to do something awesome.

Also, it’s been a minute or two since we’ve featured hip hop on this page, and I’ve been waiting to use this picture since Craig sent it to me a year ago, so here’s a track from Clipse’s “upcoming” Til The Casket Drops. I’ll believe it when I see the album drop – until then I remain a skeptic. Regardless, this tune is pretty hot. I definitely like it more than some of the other stuff I’ve heard out of the Clipse camp recently, and I’ll be intrigued to see how these fairly different singles fit in the context of a full LP. Two up two down, out.
