Chromeo’s single “Bonafied Lovin" is a synth-laced, retro funk track that comes complete with a ”http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fGksDvKZ9ek" target="_blank">hilarious 80s-style video. This new remix from RAC takes out some of the track’s saccharine synths and wink-at-the-audience quality and replaces it with sheer, danceable sexiness.

Before taking to remixing samples of a Frankfurt nightclub (in 2010’s One Club LP) and the squeals of a pig on his way to slaughter (2011’s One Pig), experimental musician Matthew Herbert released his 2001 deep-house music LP Bodily Functions. On “It’s Only,” Herbert and frequent collaborator Dani Siciliano created a sort of Mazzy-Star-does-house-music vibe, and the new remix by DJ Koze brings Siciliano’s reticent vocals to the fore and backs them with driving hand-claps and meandering electronic warbles.@CreatorsProject
