Lauryn Hill x Maribou State




The future-garage, wobbly, bass-heavy edit of the 90s R&B hit can tend to the obnoxious most times, about as subtle as the tidal wave of lazy bMore remixes from the mid-2000s...  And Lord knows, sometimes it's just a safer way to enjoy the sacharine pop confections of yesteryear in a more contemporary format, but that's not the case with this remix, thankfully.

That said, I really wish that, given the possibilities, remixers and producers would take on lesser known songs , you know?  As much as I like this remix, it would be interesting to take something from Lauryn Hill's oeuvre that didn't resonate hit the summer charts and try to make something out of it.  I feel the same way about film remakes...  Why not take a flawed film and re-make it?  Economics, for one, I suppose. Not as easy as taking the scalpel to an immediately recognizable hit, perhaps, but more rewarding if someone could pull it off.

You can grab the Ting in Boots Volume 1 compilation that this was pilfered from courtesy of Push & Run at Fact Magazine.

SANGRIA SUMMER WIND-DOWN + D'EON Remix of Tim Hoover


Wilson Gowan and I are finishing up a summer of sanguine-tinged Thursday evenings of disco, house, early 80's R&B and boogie at Blue Dog with the final Sangria Summer night of the year at the Blue Dog Motel. It's Thursday, August 25th, during the final Saint Laurent street sale of the season. Facebook RSVP and more details here.

Tim Hoover - Numbers (D'Eon Remix) by Woven Records

Jesse Dube-Smith (AKA St Robe) is at the helm of the Winnipeg-Montreal spanning label Woven Records, and has recently nabbed D'Eon for a remix of Tim Hoover's Numbers. It's a jungle-influenced scattershot post-industrial pummeling, a little more hi-fi than the D'Eon of yesteryear.
