Last time we spoke to Brooklyn experimenters Gang Gang Dance, they promised to “f**k your mind”. Their new FaltyDL remix won’t quite coax your brain between the sheets, but it’s pretty charming all the same.
Gang Gang Dance’s take on ‘She Sleeps’ has been in circulation since the tail end of last week, and it’s proven itself to be a certified earworm over the weekend. FaltyDL’s original, bolstered by vocals from Friendly Fires’ Ed MacFarlane, was a gentle roller derby jam. GGD’s take keeps the lights low, but brings a bit of the band’s famous bung-it-at-the-wall approach into play. Snatches of gnomic dialogue, a few moments of The Orb-style drift, some Screamadelica grade bongo work and the usual gawky synthesiser squelch are all at play.
FaltyDL has just dropped new LP Hardcourage on Ninja Tune. Update: Hardcourage is now streaming in full over at Resident Advisor – head here to listen.
