EXCLUSIVE DOWNLOAD: Chikita Violenta - Turnaround (Dave Newfeld Remix)
You may or may not have already cannonballed into the sonic swimming pools that are Chikita Violenta's heavenly pop rocks, but just in case it's the latter I'm going to throw you in butt nekkid. For today, not only can you re-discover three tracks already hosted on this fair webjam, but you can also come along with me on a journey through time.
Above, the band's new video for single, "Laydown," an 8mm fiesta that weds reels found in bandmember Andres "Guero" Velasco's grandmother's closet with new footage of the band and the same kids from the old stuff... except now they're old. But still lively! Below, an exclusive look at the track that started it all. Back in 2004, before the Mexico City-natives could begin recording their Stars and Suns Sessions LP with Dave Newfeld in Toronto, they had to catch the Broken Social Scene producer's fancy. "Turnaround" was the track that did it and the mix below is what Newfeld's knob-wizardry yielded the next year. Despite its sentimental value, the tune didn't make the album and thus, this version has—until now— met but a tiny handful of ears. That sounded gross, but you get the point. Are we or are we not having a LOT of fun together?
