Big room DJ secret weapon revealed!

Secret weapon revealed! Used to great effect by some of the biggest of the big room DJs (Steve Aoki, Kaskade, Tommy Trash, etc.), this progressive house remix of Yeah Yeah Yeahs breakout hit, “Maps” by Tommie Sunshine, CID, and Modern Machines is no longer only in the hands of the world’s most overpaid entertainers. As of 6 days ago, it is available for free download just about everywhere. Karen O and company’s tense, tear-jerker post-punk is transformed into a hands-in-the-air summer anthem. Truly awful stuff (not a tenth as good as A-Trak’s sublime remix of “Heads Will Roll” from a few years back), but an absolutely undeniable crowd-mover. Yes, I’ll be getting some mileage out of this in the coming weeks. You can too via the free Soundcloud download below.
