CMJ: DOWNLOAD: Tigercity - Are You Sensation (VHS Or Beta Remix)
In what I imagine is either their just due or another case of festishizing the eighties, Hall & Oates have been getting the nod lately from some current artists. The Chromeo guys appeared on an episode of Live From Daryl’s House—the in-the-studio online video series beamed straight from Daryl Hall’s home studio—and even that tattooed guy from Gym Class Heroes gave them some sweet ups on MTV. I don’t know how many H&O records Brooklyn’s Tigercity or their buds in VHS Or Beta own, but after listening to this remix of Tigercity’s live favorite “Are You Sensation” I would guess it would be more than several. The VOB guys keep the original’s conga loop and yacht rock chorus melodies intact, just adding some fresh disco thump and peeling away some of the squirly keys, giving us this mix that sounds like, well, some Brooklyn dance dudes appearing on an episode of Live From Daryl’s House.
Tigercity are playing two CMJ shows this week:
Tuesday, 10/21 – The Studio @ Webster Hall (10:00PM)
Wednesday, 10/22 – Mercury Lounge (1:00AM [Thursday morning])
Sounds like: Chromeo, Holy Ghost!, Hall & Oates
