X-Press 2 - Lazy Remixes

Fresh for the height of summer comes Lazy in all its original glory, with a bumper pack of ace remixes to boot. X-Press 2 and David Byrne are mangled, reinvented and rearranged by the likes of Motto Blanco, Freeform Five, Mowgli and Norman Cook.

"We still play Lazy constantly and see the reaction it gets every time we play it," says X-Press 2's Rocky. "It's one of those tunes that gets the kids, mums and dads singing along. Plus, we've accumulated some amazing new remixes and felt it was rude to keep them to ourselves. We also hope to spread the gospel to those who missed it first time round. That and we're Skint."

Esteemed London house producers Motto Blanco turn in a remix headed straight for Ibiza, adding pianos and strings with a (dare we say it) 'funky' bassline for optimum sun-kissed effect, echoing the 'classic club' mixes of yesteryear. There's also a dub for added measure.

Mowgli deliver two quite different mixes, unified by their punchy, bouncy production. The Wobblin mix kicks off with a breakbeat then morphs into 4/4, before the dreamy vocal gets cut off, replaced with a cheeky cry of "reeemix" and descending into bass heavy, fidget house - naughty. Mowgli Goes Deep on the second of two, this time opting for a more traditional house sound, where David Byrne's vocal waves drop in and out, over a hypnotic groove.
