The Tape

Mad Legit

I have two remixes for you today.

The first is by a Tape favorite, Calvin Harris. Calvin took his happy synths and dancy lines to Jamiroquai’s “Canned Heat.” Even if you don’t recognize this song by name, it should be immediately identifiable as that song Napolean Dynamite dances to. You all know, the one that goes “na na na na na just DANCE!” The also has some Surkin-esque strings that really set the song off during the chorus.

The second remix is of the coolest kids we know, Chuck Inglish and Mikey Rocks, also known as the Cool Kids. This remix was found on missingtoof and it’s by Grandtheft (GT) of the Canadian DJ group the Eh! Team. Aside from being potentially the greatest name on the universe, GT really delivers on this fresh remix of “Mikey Rocks.” He adds some some drums and a bassline but the highlight is a salsa track that kicks in during the chorus and sticks around for a while. I don’t even know the name of this song, but I’m pretty sure they played it every time Rafael Furcal came to bat with the Dodgers. Its like stock salsa music, but totally identifiable. You’ll know when you hear.

That salsa beat is the theme song from Sex and the City.
