Somebody That I Used To Know (Myndset Remix)
I can’t tell you how happy this makes me. I fell in love with both Gotye and Myndset earlier in the fall, and just a few days ago Myndset announced on his Facebook that he was working on a remix of “Somebody That I Used To Know.” Considering that I rather enjoyed singing aloud to that song at the top of my lungs for a few weeks straight, I can only imagine that this is going to spark another few weeks of awkward public singing. Go listen to the original if you haven’t heard it before.
And that’s saying nothing of Myndset’s remixing skills. It’s remarkable how he keeps the original song intact, not just musically and structurally, but also preserving the emotional rawness of Gotye and Kimbra’s vocals. In fact, the heavier bass and accompanying synths convey an even more substantial affect to the song, but now it’s also fit for a dancefloor (especially a dancefloor filled with indie-music lovers). The result is similar to how the Whole-Z remix of Edward Sharpe’s “Home” brought an incredibly danceable feeling to a folk rock song.

A Bristol, U.K. based musician, Stumbleine has produced perhaps the most enchantingly numbing EPs that I’ve ever heard. The range of musical expression particularly stands out. Some songs are characterized by a slow, deep beat and distant, almost fuzzy vocals, while others have a more ambient, melodic style that rely heavily on keyboards and synths to set the daydreamy atmosphere.
