Hot Chip – Look At Where We Are (Major Lazer Remix)
When we first heard this track on BBC 1 this morning we were shocked. Major Lazer remixing an incredibly mellow, borderline folk, indie rock song? It didn't seem plausible. Lucky for us we were pleasantly surprised. Adding a distinctly Caribbean-dancehall-style to the indie crooner's melancholy lyrics may seem like an unlikely combo but the downtempo beat with Joe Goddard's slow paced vocals are a perfect fit to create a uniquely memorable track.
Diplo’s book “128 Beats Per Minute” is out now
128 Beats Per Minute chronicles Diplo's travels around the world through the lens of photographer Shaun McCauley. A quick glimpse at the trailer suggests the book will be fascinating. "Seven years, thirty-two countries, sixty thousands photos," it proclaims. Clearly, Diplo understands that he's been lucky to explore so much of the world through his job creating and playing music. We're just glad he's willing to share what he's learned.
