Midnight Nightlight Monday: Kilometer (A-Trak remix)

Oops, almost forgot what happens on Mondays...
Sebastien Tellier, although not familiar to many, is a wildly successful French singer/songwriter with numerous ties to producers and DJs around the world, and so when his acclaimed album "Sexuality" hit shelves, it was bound for the remix treatment, the best of which is A-Trak's frivolous, sensually bassy remix of "Kilometer." A-Trak cooks up magic with sharp, warped synth stabs, a body-melting bass riff, the right amount of electronic strings, and the absolute perfect use of vocals. The main riff floats and glides over the buzzing, humming synth stabs, while Tellier's vocals deftly caress the sound for a beautiful marriage of maximalism and musicality. A warm, throbbing, best-of-both-worlds remix that doesn't overstay its welcome and gets stuck in your head upon the first few seconds of listening.- Nitelite
