The name of the band whose single this actually is, is hidden from sight on this promo club 12" like a dirty little secret. So, accepting for the fact that you wouldn't normally find anything by that band up on here, let's consider the work of the remixers.
Rae & Christian give it some smoooooth downtempo beatment and while taking a lot of the track away to make much more space, they don't really add much to the original except for some super cliched (at this distance) scratching and cutting.
Much, much better, and the sole reason why I'm posting this is the fucking brilliant Andy Votel mix which is a totally deconstructed dust 'n' crackle take on the track. Vocals are submerged under water, a distant car alarm is triggered, some acoustic riffing is obliterated by a pitched-up air raid siren as the beat reemerges and then drops out. Everything stops then starts again as things proceed cautiously to a wonderful oscilloscope fade out. And then silence.
Vinyl rip at 320 Kbps.
