SONG OF THE WEEK
Song: "Root Down [Free Zone Mix]"
Artist: Beastie Boys T&E blogger Parisa says, "I was thinking the other night how it's been a while since I've paid much attention to remixes, so to get back in the groove, I started thinking about some of my all-time favorites. The first track that immediately came to mind was this Free Zone Mix of "Root Down" by the Beastie Boys, produced by Danish hip hop crew The Prunes. This first appeared on the Root Down EP that came out just after Ill Communication, containing a couple remixes of the singles plus some live tracks. To me, this embodies everything a remix should do. With its trip-hop production, it shifts the entire mood of the song and offers new insight to their flows while maintaining the integrity of the original. And when that slick, jazzy bassline comes in right before the 'there goes that guy with the funky sound'...I mean c'monnnn it's too good. I'll never forget when I first heard this back in high school, I must've listened to it 50 times in a row. Probably listened to it more than the original at this point!" |
