TURNTABLE LAB

the lab review

Jona Bechtolt and Claire Evans are YACHT and they're here to make you dance you cares away in that sort of ironic, indie kinda way. This EP features a few stand-out tracks from the See Mystery Lights full length, and a fistful of extra dancey remixes to make you shake your thing. The original version of "Psychic City" was a hip summer anthem as-is (water drop snare in full effect!), but the Classixx boys give it a slo-mo disco make-over complete with semi-sleazy low slung bass and glitzy disco accoutrements. Check Joe Goddard's mix which strips it down to the bare bones and rebuilds it up in a dreamy cosmic kinda way. For the funkier side of things, it's Rory Phillips that takes it there. Entrancing arpeggios set the pace for funked out bass and breakbeats. Also includes the big, ballsy electro disco of Hedford Vachal's remix of "Waste Of Time" with its big swanky guitars and squiggl synths and "B Side Suicide" with the craziest lyrics to a dance track this reviewer has ever heard ("Blow your brains out do the Kurt Cobain").
