New Music: Williams: "Piccadilly Circuits (Rapture remix)" [Stream]
On the day the Rapture sat down to remix Williams' electro-house rave-up "Piccadilly Circuits", the band's gear must have been locked in the tour van: the mix has nothing to do with dance-punk, indie rock, or even nu-rave. It's straight-up, big-room electronic dance music. The Rapture sand off the acidic edges of Williams' 2005 anthem, sneak in some waxy handclaps and turn the original's cartoonish, minor-key vamps into something more genuinely spooky. If people don't dance no more, it's certainly not the fault of tracks like this.
