Surely a dream team, whose idea was this?
Imagine that, a track produced by Ratatat, backing vocals from MGMT and lyrics by Kid Cudi? Imagine no more, for here it is. I hadn't really given Kid Cudi a second glance, but when i saw the dream team behind this track i paid more attention. I am pleased to say that I wasnt disappointed.
For a rapper who has collaborated with the likes of Crookers before, its probably not that surprising that he has moved forwards with such a dynamic production. Check out the glitchy synthy backing track, a little lighter than your standard Ratatat fare, drop in the fairly psychedelic backing vox from sensational MGMT and of course the super smooth and flawless rapping / singing from mr cudi. Its good stuff, as is the Benassi remix.
Anyway, hear for yourself.

BBC "As capable as filling a dancefloor as they are of sparking a thought"
All the way from Kent and Newcastle, Mike, Jonathan, Jeremy, and Alex now live in Manchester, but are definitely creating a lot of noise in London. With a sell out show at the ICA last month, they have now been invited back to the city to play for the brilliant Dummy Magazine's party at Bardens Boudoir. The band are totaly genre defying, mixing up their influences from Kate Bush, Radiohead, Michael Jackson and apparently Bill Gates. Never ones to be bored, from their videos and photo-shoots its clear these guys have a good sense of humour, but take their music very seriously; changing tempos and styles within a song in a heartbeat.
I have attached one of my favorite videos this year Photoshop Handsome. A simple concept, and a video that includes platform video games, a rain forest and the moon. May sound like a Destiny Child's video but it was done at a fraction of the price, and looks better for it. Also for your streaming pleasure I have placed the audio of a great remix of MY KZ, YR BF or in other words, my keys your boyfriend. The remix is by Bristol elctro/techno duo portmanteau and really takes the song to a new place. Enjoy and definitely don't miss their live shows!
