I’m a big fan of the work of Calvin Harris. I’m also a follower of Passion Pit. Put them together, and I’m going to have something that definitely peaks my interests.
The remix retains a lot of the feel of the original, basically retaining the same overall structure and order. About thirty seconds in, a bass line that just screams Calvin Harris reminds me why I wanted to listen to this. The song runs at a much softer, more low-key, tone that the original.
All in all, this is a different view on the original, that if you like Passion Pit, or Calvin Harris is sure to brighten you wednesday a little more.

I’ve been pretty tame for the last few weeks. So lemme show what I truly pour my heart and soul into. Electronica. Calvin Harris is a personal favorite of mine when it comes to electronica. His songs are funny and catchy. When I heard he remixed my favorite band’s new single I jumped at the opportunity to hear it, and it is a fun remix that keeps the same feel of his music with the overall wonder and glory of the original Cut Copy masterpiece.
Cut Copy sits at the top spot as my number one band, and they are on the shortlist of bands that will be covered here again. Their music is a subtle kind of electronica. It combines elements of pop and rock to almost create a new genre. Poptronick? I’ll stay away from defining them and instead give you a chance to make your own conclusions.

Without a doubt, you ears will tingle, and I sure hope they bleed.
