Gossip - Standing in the way of control (Soulwax Nite Version)
Music // Steve // 6th November 2006
It's not often that a track makes me want to vomit with joy, but the usual Belgians have put a disco-rocket up the arse of Gossip's new single Standing in the way of control, and made me very excited indeed. All over the kitchen floor.
Le Tigre make a pig's ear of their remix, draining the soul and passion from it, but Soulwax have absolutely nailed their version. I love the fact that it's not actually all that different from the original - it's as if they've taken it and slung it through their patented UltraStompyDiscoSex FX box and turned out an absolute throbbing monster. Beth Ditto sounds incredibly impassioned, even more than on the original.
Don't know if the 12" comes with a bottle of poppers, but then it doesn't really need to, it's a rush enough by itself. There's an MP3 floating around Hypemachine, but you'll need to own the twelve - it was out last week, and dammit they've sold out.
