thubmnail icon: New Manu Chao - "Politik Kills" (Chris Blackwell & Paul "Groucho" Smykle Remix)

French-born, Spanish-based Latin Grammy winner Manu Chao's "Politik Kills" is getting the remix treatment on the appropriately titled Politik Kills Remix EP. Various folks are twisting and turning knobs on the chilled La Radiolina manifesto, including Linton Kwesi Johnson and Dennis Bovell as well as Island Records founder Chris Blackwell and respected reggae engineer Paul "Groucho" Smykle. We have the chilled-out Blackwell and Smykle take for your Primary-time listening pleasure. Prep the Sangria and don the teevas, please.

Manu Chao - "Politik Kills" (Chris Blackwell & Paul "Groucho" Smykle Remix) (MP3)

You can hear the original version over at ManuSpace.

The Politik Kills Remix EP is out digitally today and in hard copy 6/3 via Nacional. You can find out more at the PolitiKills, where you're able to download the different "stems" of the track, in the spirit of Radiohead's "Nude" contest.

I'm selfish when it comes to the US knowing our gold mine artirsts (ie Shakira) but MANU--needs to be known by all for he can make big tings happen in this damaged world. Love him and you should too

Didnt Mike Pelanconi also do a remix of this? Absolutely superb. Also check out his (prince fatty's ) Milk and honey track, and hometownsupersound for similar vibe http://www.hometownsupersound.com
