Feist + Van She Tech

21 June 2007 :: posted by Travis

Woah, got home from work today… fired up the ol’ feed reader and like fifty blogs I subscribe to had the VanShe Tech remix of Feist’s “1234″ posted. Almost embarrassing… if it wasn’t so damn good.

Some of the best:

Discobelle: “Van She remixes the beautiful Feist track “1234″³ that starts out rather quiet, then turns into a squelching and rocking electro track. It”™s utter brilliance. This could be the best we”™ve heard from the Van She camp since their Klaxons remix.”

Can’t agree more with Discobelle. Hit the nail on the head.

Culture Bully: “I, like many others I presume, simply knew Leslie Feist through her role in Broken Social Scene but found it surprising to learn that her musical career was given birth in my hometown. It was in Calgary where her musical leanings came to fruition and for no honorable reason that I can think of I can”™t help but feel proud of that fact.”

Hm…

Stereogum: “This one comes from Vanshe’s Technologic, a female affiliate of our old friends, Aussies Van She. According to MySpace…Vanshe Technologic are the electirc love children of the shoegaze epic Van She. Vanshe’s Tech, are, two girls who work closely with 2 of the band members of the band in order to create powerful and elegant, wacked out remixes from other peoples music for your dancing pleasure.”

The Gum is just now trying to figure out if they’re boys or girls or what or who. Leave it to the bro blogs to be about a year too late… (I jest, I jest).

ArjanWrites: “Van She adds some teeth to Feist’s reflections in this accomplished electro revamp that evolves from smooth to gritty. Download it today. Guilt-free.”

I don’t know if I’ve ever felt guilty about downloading anything… but each to their own?

Radio Sidekick: “This is the perfect tune for this midsummer weekend that”™s gonna make you move you”™re legs a little bit more than before. This time they had a go at Feists tune 1234. What can we say, it”™s brilliant.”

… and toe tapping. I love it.

And hm… GvB didn’t say much but brought the goods.

    To quote the chubby guy from ‘When the Whistle Blows’; I don geddit

    I mean it’s ok but really, not that amazing

    just my two cents

    For those of you who for some reason missed it; if you want a truly mindblowin remix of an already popular mp3 tune lemme suggest
    [Björk - Earth Intruders (Spank Rock Remix)]

    been listening to this track nonstop for days now
