Miike Snow “Animal (Mark Ronson Remix)”
Damn. Just when we were beginning to wish for Mark Ronson and his signature, retro-fixated sound to disappear for a bit so that we could get a chance to start to miss him, he would have to go and drop something that’s so brilliantly…well, retro-fixated, we start hoping for him to produce everything all over again.
The latest killer achievement to get us back on the Ronson bandwagon? A remix to Miike Snow’s “Animal” which, perhaps inspired by the slight reggae feel of the original, Mark completely drowns in a gently loping, throwback island groove. It’s amazing how natural singer Andrew Wyatt’s now highly reverbed vocals sound when locked into this context; so amazing in fact, one could probably be easily fooled into believing that this 2.0 take on “Animal” was actually originally recorded back in the ’60′s in some Jamaican recording studio.

It’s nice to read about Mark Ronson and it’s not about how he fucks up music. The man has talent that a lot of people should respect, but don’t.
