“Although I didn’t really put as much effort into it as I wanted to, here is an unofficial San Holo remix.” Come on Laxcity, really? For art’s sake, can you stop being so humble and praise yourself as you should? It has been years now since you started putting out superlative pieces of music, isn’t it time to begin flexing a little bit more? Some dissing tweets and a new Laxcity-branded Lamborghini might sound like a nice start, right?
Joking of course, but what could I say while facing the umpteenth Laxcity’s wonder?
Well, thinking about it, now the competition for the title of best ‘Lift Me From The Ground’ remix is extremely hard. I think we all agree that is a fierce tête-à-têt between this and Jaron’s version. In my modest opinion, Jaron wins the first drop battle. There’s no way that the intense and uplifting energy can be beaten. But, inevitably, the second round goes, hands down, to Laxcity. The d&b spin is simply incredible, totally unexpected and latched on so perfectly with his sound that it made me look at his style with a whole new perspective.
With the official ‘Forever’ remix just dropped, and another one for Alina Baraz coming in the next weeks, it seems that Laxcity is in a state of grace for reinterpretations. If, instead, you’re thirsty for originals after his debut album, be sure to check out all the IDs in his Too Future mix.
