little boots - every night i say a prayer (tensnake remix)

this came up on my soundcloud a month ago and i didn't know what i was going to hear when i pressed play. i thought it would be some housey or neodisco stuff but it was back to 1987 on this one and i loved it on the instant. i'm such a sucker for anything that is proper electro or at least neo-electro.

i've mentioned that once or twice but robotfunk is all sorts of awesome and one this one it starts with a tr-808 groove and an arp. the bassline goes in and it smooth and works right with the groove. little boots vocal come in at the drop and it does break up the electro feel. 

but then right when she says "i have seen into the future" the drums kick back in and an additional vocal comes in. the fact that it's vocodered makes it all sorts of right and it puts the emphasis on the "futuristic" feel that the 80's electro records tried to convey. there is also an italo type synth melody near the end that is really nice and the bass keeps it all moving nicely along.

tensnake did a great electro throwback and one that isn't completely built around "naafiysh", "planet rock", "electric kingdom", "clear" or any other big electro hits.
