Awhile back (one of my first posts) I wrote about Active Child's "Playing House" which features How to Dress Well and has been in my top most played tracks ever since then. It is a sweaty indie-loverman come-on of a song. Active Child has some soaring vocals and when HTDW comes in you know it's time to get it on.
In the past few days two remixes have emerged. One by Chad Valley and one by Houses. Both slow the original down but in different ways, and I am a fan of both. Chad Valley takes things into a softer, romantic, almost plaintive realm. He strips the song down and highlights the vocals laying down a pretty piano track and adding a lot of space to the mix. A ways in he drops a metronome beat in and lets things build with some keyboards. Really beautiful.

Houses turns things into a shimmering slow-motion dance track. He slices and loops the vocals into a beautiful ecstatic moment towards the end. When I wrote this there was a Soundcloud link and download for this song...but I guess they removed it. It seem the song is a Spotify exclusive. Which is ok because you should get Spotify anyway. If you don't already have it, or don't know what it is...get ready to be happy.

And here's the O.G. jam once again. Buy the album. It is definitely worth it.
