Michael Jackson – Bad (Kill Them With Colour Remix)

Since things have been a wee bit quiet on the post front of late and also since I have been fortunate enough to discover a delightful little remix number (special thanks to The Music Ninja) it feels appropriate that I stick the tune up on here for the rest of you to enjoy:

I recently got to play this remix at a party and the initial temptation was to leave the post title with as little information to the mix itself as possible, just to keep you all guessing a little. Much like the MSTKRFT remix I recommended a few weeks back, this mix does an exceptional job of reducing the original song to its core and rebuilding it from scratch to create something quite, quite different.

Had I not known myself where the mix had come from I may have struggled a little while to work out what the original song was – getting Michael Jackson would have been OK, the song not so much. Certainly those around me couldn’t figure it out although as I said, this was at a party and the people around me weren’t exactly at their best in terms of intellectual prowess at this stage of the evening.

Anyway, the song is a master-class in the art of turning one type of song into something totally different without following the the lazy and incredibly frustrating route that a lot of techno and house DJ’s often do (I was planning on throwing a few choice links around at this stage of particularly gruesome examples but for the life of me I can’t – or I care not – to remember any).

Enjoy the song and spread it around to your friends and family as an early Christmas present…if they are into this sort of thing.
