Everybody Needs This

March 2, 2010

This past September, Tiga James Sontag (Turbo Recordings bossman and honorary electroTO Yahweh) spun at The Guvernment’s yearly Labour of Love super-party, alongside notable figures such as D.I.M., AutoErotique and a long list of others. Needless to say, Tiga’s mixing mastery was on full display that evening, and reaffirmed our undying support.

One of the biggest crowd-pleasers on Tiga’s setlist that evening was a unique retooling of the industry-shaking track titled What You Need, which appeared on the album Ciao! (released early last year). As soon as the tune was clearly audible, there was little doubt as to who the remixing artists were — the dynamic Montreal duo of Dave 1 and P-Thugg, aka Chromeo. The result was (and still is) beautiful, as Chromeo add their classic harmonic vocal element to the composition, giving rise to something that sounds completely foreign to the original. This one has major mainstream appeal, so tell your friends.
