I’m back in Chicago after a short holiday in LA. Good times were had, lots of food was eaten and Local Hero of Chicago’s Noise Floor Crew threw it down at Blow Up LA!!! Thank you Anne Lee. Hope to be back for some more adventures, soon.

It’s all about Brooklyn dwellers with this one. For those that have been listening to ‘The Deep End‘, you know it’s something quite special. It is the forthcoming release by native New Yorker, Luca Venezia aka Curses!, aka Drop the Lime. Duo Nick Millhiser and Alex Frankel of Holy Ghost, who also live and breathe in Brooklyn and have remixed ‘The Deep End’ to absolute perfection.

The song is pulsating; the guitar that comes in at 1:17 is reminiscent of New Order; the lyrics written and vocals by Maggie Horn and additional vocals by Nancy Whang (The JuanMaclean/LCD Soundsystem), seep into your head. Clearly there is something wonderful lingering in the air, because these lovely ladies also live in Brooklyn.

Truly an epic remix all around. Undoubtedly, this will be a favorite of 2009. To round out the release, ‘The Deep End’ was also remixed by Bart B More and he put his signature subtle, simple, big room spin on it. Look out for the 2nd LP from Curses! out in March on Institubes.
