As alluded to in my post earlier this week<\/strong><\/a>, this is the inaugural post of what will hopefully become a weekly guest spot by yours truly, Jeune Lefort<\/strong>, featuring the most interesting electronic music out there (well, at least what I think the Lefort audience would like or at least stomach).\u00a0 A perfect segue then is to use remixes of recognizables, and especially Lefort<\/strong> favorites.\u00a0 In honor of Atoms For Peace’s<\/strong> (Thom Yorke’s<\/strong> and Nigel Godrich’s<\/strong> anyway) DJ-<\/strong>set on KCRW<\/strong> this morning (which you will eventually be able to hear\/watch HERE<\/strong><\/a>), we begin with a band whose songs are ever-evolving into electronic music: Radiohead<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Radiohead<\/strong> has released a number of albums containing only remixes of their tracks, and both of the songs I’ve chosen are from a remix album for The King of Limbs<\/strong> and are, therefore, Yorke<\/strong>-approved.<\/p>\n

The first track comes from Canadian artist Jacques Greene<\/strong>. “Do what you want” Yorke<\/strong> whispers, and Jacques Greene<\/strong> apparently wanted to make a very dancefloor-friendly percussion arrangement of the track and layer it with reverb-heavy samples of Yorke’s<\/strong> voice.\u00a0 And it works.\u00a0 Check it out below.<\/p>\n
