OK, time for post #2 in this series. Yet another act from Canada — imagine that. This time it’s Dragonette hailing from Toronto and the track is “Pick Up the Phone”.
First up, the original version. Don’t get me wrong — the track is really good on its own and the idea behind the “Remix Magic” posts are not to somehow show how much better a remixed track is compared to the original. It’s just to show what other people can do with a track and that the result can in fact be nothing short of amazing. Original:
Moving on to the remix done by Michael Di Francesco of Van She. A download of the remix is available in the link section (a few rows down, just underneath this text, get it?). Great stuff!
The Van She version is spot on. Staying true to the original but at the same time improving it — at least in my highly trained ears. Anyway, the original version is still a good track.
