• La Roux – In For The Kill
• Skream Let’s Get Ravey Remix

“A proper remix, the kind that nudges the original song into thrilling new territory. Young Croydon dubstep producer Skream removes everything from the perky original bar the vocal, which, in its ominous, bass-heavy new setting, now seems replete with yearning. The sudden outbreak of old school drum’n’bass near the end is terrific too.” — Gareth Grundy

“I never finished, the version that came out was a demo” — Skream

This should be called “Dimitri Is Not Fucking Around With This Funk Remix”

They tell me to see my pastor but I don’t go,
’cause they all be on this one street,
so I take it on myself to thank him one deep,
and give my money to the most needy,
and never put it in the hands of the most greedy.
’cause they’re putting a price tag on a man’s word;
and it’s a fashion show, so the men flirt.
“The world is ending” so they try to make us switch fast,
and they opening up these churches for some quick cash;
and using the money for their new cribs,
While brother Johnson just got kicked out where he lives.
I follow no man, cause man be phoney.

I’ve never really liked most mainstream music.

You know, the kind that’s annoying at first listen and also offensive in that it’s constantly pushed as if it was interesting and new but it’s actually lacking in substance and a watered down version of something old (something good) … You know, that song/band/genre that doesn’t seem to go away for half of the year until some other annoying crap takes its place. You know, kids’ music …

But I’ve noticed a difference. When I was younger, there there were specific things I could point to to explain why I didn’t like a song/band/genre—e.g. Blink 182 are a bunch of wankers who need music videos and tattoos to make their music seem edgy because really they are not “punk”. But nowadays, I’m just speechless when I hear some of the shite they call music … I don’t know if it’s because I’m older—I’ve reached “that” age—or just because the world has gotten weird.

In any case, to the kids making EDM:
