Remixes can be a dime a dozen (or a penny a laptop), but after listening to YACHT’s tweaks of Stereolab and Ratatat tunes for a couple days, we figured they were more than worth posting. Jona Bechtolt’s revamping of Ratatat’s LP3 track “Mirando” transforms the song into a new entity, layering different noodles, bleeps, and percussion while stripping away a chunk of the instrumentation and replacing what’s vacated with deep-voiced hip-hop reps about a sibling’s artillery. (Goes well with Ratatat’s explosive video for the original.) As far as Stereolab, Bechtolt ups “Self Portrait With ‘Electric Brain’”‘s dance-floor factor without losing the space-age bachelor cool.
While listening, take a look at the art for each remix at YACHT’s Flickr. More info at Team YACHT (scroll).

I never did figure out why JB dropped the YACHT dots. . . . .
That “explosive video” isn’t bad. Nice contrast… innocent beeps and blood. My ideal is the video for Talking Heads “Big Business”. Seseme Street for adults…
Who is this douche, flicking us off?
