Roots Manuva – Let The Spirit (Hot Chip Remix)
[mp3 RCRD LBL]
Before becoming synth pop stars, Hot Chip first gently mocked and generously emulated the spirit of hip-hop in their own music. Now they’re content to remix rappers, as they’ve done with a tune from British MC Roots Manuva. Once can see why they would be attracted to the Let the Spirit , originally produced by Metronomy, with its synth horns flaring and gregarious vocal refrain. Their version ticks up the tempo a few notches and opts for a more dynamic mood, letting Manuva’s jaunty lyrics tuck and roll through dusty breakbeats, thrumming synth progressions and dreamy Rhodes arpeggios. It’s so fitting and catchy, you might just find the spirit taking a hold of you, too.
