I’m over “Animal” remixes entirely; but that’s not going to stop me from posting this one. This kid named Justin, who goes by JD, sent this my way yesterday, and my expectations were slim prior to pressing play; but everything changed for me rather quickly. JD has successfully injected Miike Snow’s hit with a late night, European club feel; and it’s nearly flawless.

Plus he digs Explosions in the Sky, so this was a shoe-in.

“What’s goin on Chuck?  I’m a long time follower and fan of your website.  I get a lot of gems from you, like Explosions in the sky.  Shit blew me away when I first heard it and I listen to it everytime I’m stressed out or want to relax. 

Anyway.  I love the original Animal, but I couldn’t find a remix that I thought gave this song justice..so I decided to give it a shot. Heres what I got..im not one to brag, but I think it works.

It would be an honor to get a post on the blog!  But I wouldn’t be offended if you didn’t.  Click below to check it out on soundcloud – feel free to download and do whatever you want with it.

Thanks Chuck! Keep doing what you’re doing!”
