Yesterday How to Dress Well posted this awesome remix of Marina and the Diamonds who is a Euro-pop star. I am not particularly a fan of her songs but she is doing something right if she's down with Tri-Angle Records. HTDW keeps the Ibiza rave keyboards and hard beats of the original "Radioactive" but takes things into the realm of slow motion ethereal bliss. Looping and screwing down Marina's vocals into a Gregorian chant sets the tone. Then a strutting beat and HTDW's gorgeous vocals join in and and the trancey keyboards rise to take you into the ecstacy of that ONE moment on the dancefloor. Everything Tom Krell touches is just amazing and he displays a new aspect here--partying. I love it when he opens up with some electronics. There are, as always, tons of vocal flourishes and details to keep you overwhelmed and reward the multiple listens this song demands.

This isn't the first time that Marina has been reworked into magic by a Tri-Angle Records artist. oOoOO took the bouncy original "Obsessions" and turned it into the saddest and most beautiful slow-jam that he has produced. The way that he takes moments of her vocals and reconstructs her into a completely different singer is amazing. This song is the perfect complement for the ecstactic How to Dress Well track. This is for lying in bed with the one you love, drifting off to sleep after a night out--sustaining the quiet, lingering beauty of the evening.
