[REMIX] LARRY GUS X CUT COPY / WE ARE EXPLORERS

Greek electronic producer and DFA Recording artist Larry Gus' takes Cut Copy's song "We Are Explorers," from their fourth album Free Your Mind, and makes it his own with some really cool bells, cymbals and a variety of other percussion instruments that make for a very much euphoric listening experience.

"To me, this remix epitomizes everything that is incredible and unique about Larry Gus. He is a master at collaging together obscure sounds and live percussion to create something magically evocative and new. And with this beautiful remix he has turned 'We Are Explorers' into something we would never have expected."

-- Dan Whitford of Cut Copy

[LISTEN UP] LARRY GUS - SILENT CONGAS REMIXES

The tribal glitches of Larry Gus’ 2012 full-length Silent Congas find new life in this pair of remixes, from Hana and Hello Skinny. Gus’ peculiar aural language and sampladelia makes for pleasantly askew structures, with “Figueroa Islands” leaving gaps of space percolating expectantly over the two-note synth foundation and vocals delayed into gobbledygook. Hello Skinny tosses in squalls of chuckling over the tubular propulsion, with belching fuzz leaving plenty of dust on the staircases of baroque scales. Available now digitally as high-quality downloads from DFA HERE and also available at all other places digital music are sold.
