Well Well, It looks like two of Headphone Whiplash's favorite tinkerer DJ's have struck again... Yes ladies and gents, Pance Party and Alan Wilkis have dirtified the same Chester French track.
If you are asking "Chester-who?" hold your calls and take a seat, you are about to get schooled.
Chester French is a fantastic indie rock Duo that paired up during their studies at Harvard University. They named their band after Daniel Chester French: sculptor of the Abe statue at the Lincoln Memorial (among other works). Earlier this year they teamed up with the oh-so-popular club DJ Clinton Sparks to create a mixtape
Jacques Jams, Vol 1: Endurance. Their debut album
Love the Future just dropped as well.
Now for the fun part: the remixes! Brooklyn based
Alan Wilkis took Chester's original song
C'mon and added his own flair to it. I love Wilkis' remixes because they seem to encompass influences from the 80's, 90's as well as some of the best electro from this soon to end decade. I can almost guarantee that he has at least one wall of his place covered with audio cassettes that he visits from time to time. The best part about Alan's mixes is that he jam-packs them full of sound without ever over-doing it. If you haven't already, be sure to check out his debut album
Pink and Purple as well as two of his other remixes we posted
here and
here.
Our boys Pance Party also dropped another monster. Doing what they do best they dirtified C'mon into a dance killer with their fantastic pallet of zaps, synth, booms, beeps and claps. Now that 2009 is coming to a close I can safely say that Pance Party has one of my favorite remixes of the year with their take on Shakira's She Wolf. These guys have proved that they are not one hit bitches, instead rulers of the dance floor. Ladies and gents, Pance Party is here to stay.
Which remix is better? That is an unecessary question. Listen to them both!
