The Very Best: Review Roundup
Had the distinct pleasure of seeing Esau of The Very Best perform a secret show @ Zebulon in Brooklyn this past weekend. It was total insanity – dancing, drinking, debauchery… good times!
And in related news, the blog results are in, and people are loving my little remix! Here’s a digest of what the bloggers are blabbin’, and if you still haven’t heard / downloaded it, check it out here:
DOWNLOAD: “Warm Heart of Africa (Alan Wilkis Remix)” – The Very Best ft. Ezra Koenig (Vampire Weekend)
Sheena Beeston “Discoliciously gooey pop/rock… Amping up the beat and playing with a ridiculously catchy undertone worthy of a “Paul Simon-esque” comparison, Wilkis makes the already cool track that much radder.”
Together in Digital Dreams “It’s like they went back in time, found their souls in the 80’s and joined Passion Pit in taking over the world. Well done.”
88 Days in my Veins “Oh so 80’s Miami beach… It rocks… Loving this.”
Subservient Experiment “Dare I say I enjoy it more than the original (gasp!).”
Pasta Primavera “Wilkis infuses his electro funk, and it WORKS baby… Definitely an interesting bridging of genres/sounds.”
Cities of the Plain “I like this guy’s sensibility. He does a nice job of enhancing the original track and expanding on the party jam side of things.”
Danger Danger “When I listen to Alan Wilkis‘ tracks, may it be remixes or originals, I can but help to think ‘This guy has to be, or deserve to, get all the attention the world can muster…’ I love what he does, and in my eyes he’s close to a genius.”
Azltron “If you were looking for the jam of the summer, look no further… Transports all listeners instantly to a fantastic island themed party on the beech with all the bacardi and bikinis anyone could ever want.”
