worth going to james' blog to check out his unbelievable crystal castles remix. i'm not really that big a fan of crystal castles but he's added the lightfoot-or, as i believe he is now called, 'Deus'-touch to it. James is so good at that euphoric sound and he's made it a really great track.

Also james sent me this a few weeks ago. He said its just a bit of fun which says something about his talent. It's a remix of a marvin gaye song and it's amazing.

I just love the way it's so cut up and looped that it sounds like all the instruments are sort of gasping.

Really been listening to this song a lot recently.

It's a remix of a song by jay-z from the blueprint. The original features the high-pitched soul vocal (i love any song that has a helium soul vocal, even 'lonely' by akon) as well but this one takes it so much further and makes it stunning.

The verses arent even that good on this song but thats just not whats important. Whats great about this song is the sample; that beautiful voice. The way it sometimes randomly goes 'do you BELIEVE?', and the 'oh no's, the 'you dont know's, sounding really desperate, all trapped under this really forceful flow. The feminine quivering beneath the masculines overbearing agression.

'You dont know what you done to me, done to me, done to me, done to me...'
