Je T'Aime

I picked through Rasputin's used records last night and stopped by the new electronica section as well. Usually I'm not crazy about the selection, but I spotted this Je T'Aime 12" by Armand Van Helden that features a Simian Mobile Disco remix. SMD is one of my favorite acts of the last few years, amazing live sets and Attack Sustain Decay Release was an incredible album. Bring back this kind of acid funk dance goodness. The rest of the 12" is some of the most predictably boring and forgettable house music you can lay your hands on nowadays, but the SMD remix is dark ambient goodness with some boomy lowend synths covered on top by sine wave effects that rise up before dipping below the deck of the bass drum's thump. Oh and I just found out they are touring the west coast in March, coming to the Mezzanine on March 15th, so prepare yourself.
