MPFree: Fog of War (Baio remix) by Young Dreams

After quietly and murderously seething for months over the current state of remixing – on the whole, mind-numbingly unadventurous tosh, knocked out in under an hour, masquerading as some sort of gift to fans in the form of a free download to avoid actually giving away any of the good stuff – we seem to be on something of a roll, kick-started by LIARS’ brutal reworking of The Twilight Sad’s NIL last month (which today’s MPFree bears more than a passing resemblance to).

Here Chris Baio (Vampire Weekend/Greco-Roman) gives Young Dreams’ (pictured) not unpleasant recent single the laid back disco treatment, furnishing it with pleasing dub flourishes. The Norwegians are supporting psych band of the moment Tame Impala currently; catch them at the Brixton Academy, October 30.
