Kelly, one of the jewels on the crown of Van She's 'V', has been lucky enough to get the remix treatment from M83 and Breakbot, both masters of making fascinating music. Add that to the fact that the vocals to Kelly are already wondrous, and the result is breath taking.
M83 makes haunting music, and this remix is no exception. It sounds somewhat prophetic, as if it was taken straight from the soundtrack of an art-house movie with panoramic sweeps. Melds synths and acoustics like a master blacksmith.
Breakbot takes a slightly different approach, and tries to make Kelly more danceable. He does this by adding funky beats, old-school drum beats (think NY circa 1970), and a more disco feel, along with some 'ooo-ing' in the background. One would think with all these auxiliary sounds, the original feel might be drowned out. Not at all. Breakbot makes sure of that.
WhoDIB? M83 or Breakbot?
