The DFA style of remixes seems to have been absent in recent memory with the hand claps and horns of the Discopunk moment being replaced in 2008 by the epic house build of remixes by acts like Deadmau5 and Soulwax. This is not to discredit DFA as a label and the creator of some amazing pop remixes a few years back. As if to prove continuing relevance this remix has recently surfaced, a hugely different, slowed down sports anthem like version M.I.A.’s biggest hit. It’s sweeping, it’s grand and it will likely not be heard on the dance floor. This is one for a big budget movie or headphones on a sunny day.
