WhoDIB? : Bounce


Bounce was, erm, interesting. Sorta acted as an omen to the failure of MSTRKRFT's second album, 'Fist Of God'. But, nevertheless, two different remixes, both very competent, emerged from the lifeless generic body of Bounce. These came from Italian scene stealers The Bloody Beetroots, and the Rembrandt of mixing, A-Trak.

The Bloody Beetroots, change Bounce in the typical Bloody Beetroots style. Listen to the song, discard everything except the vocals, which end up being completely warped, reconstruct the entire song with harder, more abbrasive synths, and voila.

A-Trak, on the other hand, pushes Bounce to it's very limits. He goes for a smooth, 70's dayum-what-chu-talking-bout aesthetic. Claps, break downs, impeccable sampling (try and spot it), some brass instruments, choir influenced cheers, and, most importantly, cowbells. Smooth.

WhoDib? The Bloody Beetroots or A-Trak?
