Lido appeared out of nowhere in early 2014 and in less than a year has become one of the most respected producers out. A big part of his rise has been slew of impressive remixes for everyone from Bill Withers and Bastille to Banks and ZHU. Given that, it doesn’t come as a huge surprise that alt-J connected with the Norwegian producer for a fresh rework of ‘Left Hand Free’. From the track’s opening the feel is energetic and radiant with pitched vocals setting the tone. As listeners are met with the distinctive vocals the track is stripped down to whistles and simple acoustics. The addition of gun shots and clicks may seem terribly out of place on paper but it sounds perfect. With stunning synth work, a wide array of vocal effects and infectious lyrics and melodies this is impossible to resist. Stream below.
