Com Ocean (Sacred Animals remix) by Outlands

When I was in my early teens I used to play a game called Donkey Kong Country on the Super Nintendo incessantly. This game meant a lot to me (producer/blogger Ryan Hemsworth recently released a Donkey Kong sampling bootleg, which you can listen to here – I was almost in tears).

What has this got to do with today’s MPFree, a reworking of a track from Virginia duo Outlands’ (pictured) new self-titled EP? Well, the main synth line triggered an almost hallucinatory flashback: for a minute I felt I was back in that ice cavern, collecting bananas with my monkey pal. Perhaps not the kind of memory Irish studio whizz Sacred Animals was hoping to trigger, but a happy memory nonetheless.
