DOWNLOAD: Trap.Avoid - Little Countries (Sal P & Neurotic Drum Band Remix)

Brooklyn keyboard craftsmen Trap.Avoid have something littered with magic here—nice and steady, but ready to explode. One hand stirring the "Little Countries" pot is Sal Principato of Liquid Liquid, a 1980s post-punk outfit who have influenced everyone from Melle Mel (one fifth—well, sixth—of Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five) to the contemporary boppers who understand how to utilize elements of disco and punk to make dancefloor rebellion. Rounding out the remix team is duo Neurotic Drum Band and their ivory-tickled disco. The subtle influence of Italo on Trap.Avoid's output lingers throughout the track, which is the kind of tune that gets you hypnotized by its rhythm. But just when you've met your groove, the collaboration spills over into sonic freak out. Catch it on Trap.Avoid's Presence EP out now on Dither Down.
