Tiga has never been one to pigeonhole himself when it come to styles and genres, however, the Canadian has lain before him a signature sound on remixes of acts such as Prodigy, Pet Shop Boys and Felix Da Housecat, to name but a prolific few. His latest remix is of the 80's synth-pop-tinged 'I Can Change' by LCD Soundsystem. The original symbolises an early 80's sound and the remix doesn't stray too far from this retro style. It starts with regimental sounding hi hats over James Murphy's wonderful vocal as the sub bass bubbles up beneath. Slowly but surely the track progresses with a huge menacing bassline that creeps in until it dominates the track. When listening to the breakdown, I cant help but imagine it being played in a packed festival tent with its glorious euphoric synth building a definitive hands-in-the-air moment. If you haven't already heard it, expect to hear it in a festival tent near you.
Enjoy.
