Postal Service holds a special place in my heart... and I'm sure I'm not the only one. Their tracks are so finely crafted, that they really borderline on orchestral. They introduce the elements, build the tension, create a release... all of the things that classical fans look for in great work. When you combine that attention to detail with the poetic lyrics and the heartfelt subject matter, you have something really special.
Remixing that kind of quality leads to a whole different set of issues. There's a huge difference between remixing a standard 4/4 beat and a technically complex song. By dancing on the line of relaxing and aggressive, the District Sleeps Alone Remix from Canadian DJ Club Seal pays tribute to a great song while still giving it a modern wobbling face lift. For those of you lucky to hear this while you are about to wrap your day, this will place you in the perfect mood to go to sleep or wander the town. Give it a listen, I think you'll like what you hear.
