TRACK OF THE NIGHT: Strange Enough (Designer Drugs Remix)


N.A.S.A. / Strange Enough (Feat. Karen O, Ol' Dirty Bastard & Fatlip) (Designer Drugs Remix)

N.A.S.A. are a DJ duo who've worked with over 36 different artists on their album, dabbled in an incredible array of different genres and cultures and out of all this ended up sounding ridiculously recent thanks to sheer vision and artistic determination. Strange Enough is a prime example of how the duo are able to take a bunch of completely different artists, throw them into a track and make it work. Strange Enough in its original form has it's roots firmly placed in hip hop yet Designer Drugs take it to a whole new level by pushing the track head first into a throbbing whirlpool of dark synths, grinding basslines and generally sinister forms of electronica. Even Karen O ends up sounding demonic as her vocals are twisted into a deliciously evil chant due to the heavy use of a vocoder. This really is a stellar remix from Designer Drugs which not only changes the whole atmosphere of the track yet also rivals the original for greatness.
