Brakes - 'All Night Disco Party' [Remix] (Rough Trade) Released 03/04/06

Are we just cynical buggers, but what the fuck is the score with dance remixes of indie tracks. Nine times out of ten they’re just painfully middling. This Graham Sutton ‘rehash’ of Brakes’ fan-fookin-tastic ‘All Night Disco Party’ is no exception. True, the beats are beefed up a bit, there’s some additional acid noise thrown in mid-way through but other than that it’s just the same tune – surely any lame brain with a laptop could do it?! Quite how the over-zealous PR people can claim it’s exhilarating we’ll never know. Fair play to Kahuna’s spliced up and Herbert's bizarre (complete with chipmunk-esque vocals) versions on the flip side, which although far from great at least try to do something different.
