V/A - The DFA Remixes: Chapter 2

More satisfying than Chapter 1, this illustrates just why DFA remixes are the most highly-sought flipsides. The first highlight is Junior Senior's Shake Your Coconuts, which becomes a demented LCD Soundsystem style electro-punk freakout, with sillier lyrics. The guitar feedback and pounding congos are impossible to refuse – it just screams 'dance, bitch!' A blistering electro-house take on NERD's She Wants To Move is utter genius, utilising a filthy slow house beat and a winding organ riff alongside Pharrell's breathy entreaties. It's something akin to a pole dance on vinyl. NIN's brilliant The Hand That Feeds becomes a disco anthem; Trent a self-harming Bee Gee along for the ride. Goldfrapp's Slide In is set to cowbells and new-wave fills, recalling the more spiky Cardigans tracks. You could accuse DFA of being one-trick ponies - they do cut and loop their remixes in a uniform way. However, it works! Arguably, all bands should be given the DFA treatment at least once.
