To be honest, I don't really like The Bloody Beetroots. Their electronics are good, but without any vocals I get bored, and usually when they remix songs they don't keep their own good parts and kind of waste their electronic talents on bad songs. Even when they remix artists in the "scene," like the All-American Rejects and FACT, the mixes sound annoying or just bad. However, for some reason, the combination of The Bloody Beetroots with emotronica act The Secret Handshake just seemed to work. They take TSH's big single, "Summer of '98" and remix it into something amazing.
The remix is a good example of accessible fidget house, and can attract those with tastes ranging from Justice to Playradioplay!. Luis, the singer of The Secret Handshake, has clean vocals that aren't too hard on the ears, and his lyrics, while extremely emo in the original version of the song, take on a hopeful tone in the remix. The Bloody Beetroots do a good job of keeping the song from being repetative by being creative with the vocal rangements and having unique yet addictive instrumentation. The beat is strong but not overwhelming, and the energy variations throuhgout the song really do make you want to fidget. Get ready to dance with this one.
