Really pissed off. Someone's commissioned an EP of remixes for M.I.A.s 'Paper Planes', by far my fave off her wonderful 'Kala' LP. The DFA joint needs stamping on, just shit minimal white boy funk that clashes with the vocal. Bastards. The Afrikan Boy & Diplo mixes are totally superfluous (Diplo just sticks a tough boy rap on the original the lazy chancer) Scottie B at least makes an effort by putting an old skool funk break (used in every rave hit circa 1991) under it and pissing around with the pitch. Utterly pointless though. It's got a DJ Eli remix of Bamboo Banga though! Oh hang on...that's shit too. Buy this for the original or just forget this shallow clubmegamix exercise and buy the album in all it's glory! 12" only on XL
Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.
