Miss Kittin & The Hacker – Party In My | Single Review

Monday, June 29th, 2009 | Single Review | No Comments

From the album 1000 Dreams we gave Party In My Head a conservative thumbs up. We thought that Miss Kitten’s vocals had been layered with the Blondie/Moroder style disco synths just right. So its good to see that the Thieves Like Us run with the disco bit and churn out a great strutting piece of NYC disco funk. The vocodered vocals sit with the natural percussion and funk lines. So much so that it far surpasses the original.

Kiko on the other hand is at the other end of the spectrum. He’s gone for a brash whirring remix with rough electronic synths and stern marching beats. It’s noisy and in your face so it’s totally made for the big rooms. That leaves Mr Pauli’s remix. He’s gone with the 80s synth pop influence on the original and taken that to town. Think shoulder pads, Miami Vice and those great 80s electronic tom toms. I was confused at first, but the retroness has its charm.
