La Roux is Apparently Just Awesome For Remixes/Mash-Ups

Seriously - I must have missed the memo that everyone else in the world got that La Roux is just the best artist in the world to sample/mash/remix. The latest La Roux remix to pass through my hands, from the ever-talented Glitch Mob, is straight money, just as every other La Roux-tinged remix I've seen this year has been.

This one puts a dark dubby beat behind the chanteuse, giving her a little edge beyond her baller pipes. It's not as airy as Skream's "Finally," but it's not overly morose either. La Roux keeps it bright without making the track poppy or upbeat, per se. It's really just a great track to pump loud in your headphones with your eyes closed. Dig up on it, and check out a mash-up with Birdman/Weezy's "Money To Blow" and the aforementioned (and aforeblogged) Skream track.
