YACHT Remixes Stereolab, Ratatat
Remixes can be a dime a dozen (or a penny a laptop), but after listening to YACHT's tweaks of Stereolab and Ratatat tunes for a couple days, we figured they were more than worth posting. Jona Bechtolt's revamping of Ratatat's LP3 track "Mirando" transforms the song into a new entity, layering different noodles, bleeps, and percussion while stripping away a chunk of the instrumentation and replacing what's vacated with deep-voiced hip-hop reps about a sibling's artillery. (Goes well with Ratatat's explosive video for the original.) As far as Stereolab, Bechtolt ups "Self Portrait With 'Electric Brain'"'s dance-floor factor without losing the space-age bachelor cool.

I never did figure out why JB dropped the YACHT dots. . . . .

That "explosive video" isn't bad. Nice contrast... innocent beeps and blood. My ideal is the video for Talking Heads "Big Business". Seseme Street for adults...
