Friendly Fires


when i first dj'd at lazy pixel, i started a half an hour early, and went til ten. now this is usually the early chill set, but i guess i didn't get the memo. i played basically what i wanted to but electro and assumed that was chill enough. i'm sitting here mixing rye rye with crystal castles into crookers, and will howard basically stops me. i was actually kinda scared, will can get kinda intense when he gets unsatisfied with something - he's a perfectionist. i scramble to find something that fits. i just kinda remember having this track somewhere, and i knew it was friendly fires. and i justy played it, and even though i was basically alone in a bar with a beer in my hand, i figured it all out. Friendly Fires defined that first hour for me through to this day.

the first track is the a fantastic remix of paris with au revoir simone. its long but it deserves to be, its like a dream in and of its self and i swear once i just thought i floated around the dance floor, its crazy. the vocals here, WOW. the production, WOW. the sham, WOW.


i remember having this song requested when we did the super swap. coming off of my hard drive going poop i didn't have it. it was embarrassing. after we played turn my swag on and zombie nation, we didn't have the most legit request of the night. it was to say the least depressing. anyway, i hope you're out there kid.


i honestly wasn't going to include this track, but that synth line is straight evil.
