Let's Play House began the first half of 2013 with a single by label co-founder Jacques Renault, and now the guys are kicking off the second with three fresh remixes by international heavyweights Tom Trago, Fantastic Man (a.k.a. Mic Newman), and Francis Inferno Orchestra.
The 12” initiates with Trago’s interpretation, which takes most of the infectious and instantly recognizable elements of the original (the thumping drums, the hummed melody) and pumps them up to the next level. Complimenting his maximalist approach is Fantastic Man's pared down rendering, which strips the tune of most its bells and whistles, instead obsessing over the horns and elastic riff that the track is built around. It's a slow burner, but one that will relentlessly, deliberately tear up dancefloors.
The flip features Francis Inferno's spacier take on Renault's work. Like the Paradis mix found on the first single, it launches the song to outer space for a more cosmic exploration, only gently gliding back down to earth at the very end.
Keep an eye out for new material from Renault on LPH, too—there's plenty in more in store!
