Lights Out (DJ Mehdi Remix)
Posted by BrokenSilence | Filed under DJ Mehdi, Santogold
I love Santigold’s track ‘Lights Out’ and as you all know I love DJ Mehdi, so to see that he mixed that specific song of hers was pretty amazing. And his mix of it is amazing. This mix puts a bounce in your sunny morning step. Mehdi replaces the chunky guitar riff with a bubbling, poppy synthy drum line. In the middle of the mix he showcases his creative talent, by inserting a brilliant devised melodic piece of whispered bongos met with jazz piano key bounces. It manages to stay quite similar to the original, but as all great remixes, tinkers it enough to make it upbeat and original. Minimalism can be grand.

I’m sure you’ve all heard ‘L.E.S. Artistes’ by Santogold by now, it would be hard not to have, but in case you missed it, here it is. Rolling Stone describes the track as a “Cars/Strokes mash-up.”
