The Ting Tings, English duo of indie pop music hits once again the headlines of the electronic music world, with the release of his song "Great DJ" remixed by Calvin Harris. The duo composed of Jules De Martino and Katie White (founded in 2006), was noticed by Fanta and Apple, as its track "Shut Up and Let Me Go" was used for advertising campaigns of these two brands. This remix of Calvin Harris, in an quiet house atmosphere also comes with a remix of Acid Girls, that you can download in the following review.
Originally from Manchester, this group has literally blown up in England during 2008. Indeed, they first occupied the first place in the UK charts with "That's Not My Name" in May, then it is with their album "We Started Nothing" that they hit once again the top of the chart, for a few weeks. After this explosion, there were other successes. This remix of Calvin Harris should once again strengthen the reputation of our English duo.
"Great DJ" remixed by Calvin Harris, begins with a pop rhythm, slow at the beginning. Quiet pop rock in the spirit with house sample, a place to the voice is largely given. There are too many loops on the vocal to create the track, notably on "The drums” ! The atmosphere, a bit like the one delivered by Cassius "Toop toop" offers very good riffs, that compliment the composition. However, sometimes there is a lack of dynamism.
It is globally a good track that deserves to be heard. Mostly mainstream, the track has some good ideas, with an undeniable groove.
