A bit of older minimal for you today, featuring the inescapable DJ and the always-lovely DJ Minx. Here, Mr. Villalobos is in fascinating territory, especially if the listener knows the original-- an old-school Detroit techno stomper. Villalobos stretches the track by almost 300%, emphasizes a strange vocal track that harmonizes nicely with the excellent bass-line, and puts in his trademark percussive flourishes and bits of background squelch in for good measure. Villalobos at his most soulful, I think, and certainly one of his better remixes from the first five years of this decade.

Tomorrow, a bit of campy fun with the pre-eminent shit-eating transvestite, Divine.

over the top an interview with paul smith (the designer) starts playing which i just assumed was part of the villalobos mix. i thought it was hilarious that he put a wank british fashion interview in the last 2 minutes of the mix. I highly recommend trying this!
fun track, thank you!
