i heard about this one through soundcloud since i follow both dimitri from paris and little boots and i originally didn't think much of "headphones" or todd edwards' rerub which was offered for listening first. it was decent and i liked the lyrics but it needed that something and dimitri knew exactly what to do with it.
dimitri use a slightly different groove and he took advantage of refitting an edit that he did a while back onto this his remix. he refixed the shep pettibone remix of madonna's classic "into the groove" and i believe that dimitri used the version on either "you can dance" or on "the immaculate collection".
i love sheps rework of "into the groove" but i didn't like what dimitri did with his edit since it was perfect in the first place. but when borrows the bassline and the aural aesthetics of it for the "headphones" remix it's perfect in every way. dimitri labels his remix as cutesy pop on his soundcloud page and to be honest he is correct with it but it's the right kind of cute.

i do know it's alarming that i talk about these new songs & tracks that essentially stem from 10-30 year ago. simon reynolds talks about this in retromania and i'm well aware of it but i do want to fool myself of thinking that i don't completely obsess of obscure songs from '83 or '76 and how it was better then. because it's not but i will listen to that and the newer hyper modern stuff as one should do.
