I never thought I would be posting a track by, dare I say it, Sneaky Sound System. But alas, some kick ass people like Lifelike, Tomboy and our own Beni Single [Riot in Belgium] (check our older post on him for a song of his that was on Relish EP 2) have done remixes of Sneaky’s new track “Kansas City”. I’m leaning more towards Tomboy’s mix, but I guess there isn’t one remix that stands out. The vocal is terrible in general and the band is notoriously known for that Tonite Only remix of “Pictures” which has tainted many souls. The Lifelike remix is pretty nice, synthy and all that jazz. Clearly not his best work but still enjoyable. Beni’s, well…, most of it shits me with that repetitive tone, but some cool shit is in there. It’s still cool.
Bottomline is, its Sneaky; I wasn’t expecting much.

Yeah and since we all love Beni, here is his take on Digitalism’s “Pogo”..
the lifelike remix is so disappointing.
just when i thought he was getting back in form, he goes and does this. however to be honest i don’t think i have been blown away by any of his remixes since he did Sia’s “Day to Soon”
I agree with the let down from lifelike.
But I think the ‘This Boy’s In Love’ remix was fantastic, as well as the ‘Born Again Runner’ remix.
But this remix jsut has no substance, and sounds like the vocals have just been slapped on top of some beat he whipped up in a rush.
Gotta disagree, I can’t stop listenning to this one.
The chord progressions simply take me back to Laurant’s earlier days of production, and as much as I love some of his later remixes this just hits the spot.
Loving the vocals too!
