It Must Be Wednesday: Deceptacon Remix

When you set forth on a quest to find indie pop remixes, you often have to compromise on what should and shouldn’t be remixed. But on other occasions, you find songs that make perfect sense to be remixed, especially when they are remixed in a way that amplifies the true sound of the song.

Deceptacon by Le Tigre

The band Le Tigre are odd enough as it is, but to remix it is quite odd as well.

Le Tigre – Deceptacon (DFA Remix) (removed 2/13/09)

I found that with the original Deceptacon I had a very hard time hearing the vocals, now I can hear them clearly. In fact I discovered an explicit lyric I never knew existed. Perhaps the biggest change to the song is the length. A quick three minute song is transformed into a TWELVE minute never ending dance party.

It’s an overall nice change of pace from the original and it’s something fun to pop on while cleaning or doing some other menial task. A nice danceable groove that doesn’t get on your nerves.

I hope your ears bleed all over again. Ω
