Track: L.A. producer Classixx remixes Preatures – This is how you feel?


With permission

It’s that time of the year when everything needs getting done, in our house anyway. I’ve got things to pack for the impending holiday, children to look after, and a multitude of jobs to do. Apparently, there shelving that needs to do up in the spare bedroom, things that need putting out/getting down from the attic, the house needs to be tidied, and there’s a unit that needs building and putting in the garage. Todays orders include the one thing I hate above all others though. To mow the lawn.

And so here I sat, thinking of reasons why that may not have been possible today, without success. It’s definitely not going to rain now, as I had hoped earlier. I just couldn’t bring myself to move. It was at that point that I put on the Classixx remix of Sydney’s The Preatures. The band makes this melodic indie rock that’s dunked in a liberal amount of vocal harmonies to produce something akin to The Magic Numbers, or maybe Haim (who they’ve been out supporting in Australia recently).

Just out in a remix of the single by L.A.’s Classixx, who have taken the track and made a laid back house track of it, complete with  popping, qsquarking basslines and these jazzy electro-chords that give a whole new feeling to the track. The cut-vocals match perfectly to give the whole thing this perfect summer-pop. Even the darker instrumental moments can wipe the smile off your face.

How do I feel? I feel good. Really good. I might go and mow the lawn.
