MIDLAKE: REMIXED

Posted by andyleclair | Filed under Music


I’d heard the name Midlake thrown around a few times before, but I’d never checked out their stuff until last week when I heard an absolutely mindblowing remix from Beyond the Wizard’s Sleeve over at Electrorash. I was listening to my Hype Machine feed at work and this song came on and I stopped. I was floored at my desk. Floored. When I get into “the zone,” the music I’m listening to takes a backseat as code flows from my fingertips, comme Moses at the rock, but this song made me stop and take notice. For seven minutes of pure beauty. BtWS have done with this track what I think all remixers try to do: take a track that’s already good and make it a masterpeice. Why are you still reading this? You should be listening by now!

I have a second Midlake remix as a bonus! Here’s a remix of Young Bride done by Cassettes Won’t Listen. I wouldn’t say that I’m as impressed as I was with the BtWS remix, but this one is still really good. I’d think about including this track as part of a calm section in a set.
