I'm sure this track has already been and gone on Hype Machine's top 10, but I've never been anything but a latecomer, and that certainly doesn't deplete the awesomeness of this club banger. Justice certainly wouldn't be blamed for getting lazy recently, what with their constant touring, remixing, and generally being the darlings of the "nu-rave" circuit; however, this remix finds them in full, brilliant form. I've been a Tiga fan for a while (especially "Good As Gold" and his LCD Soundsystem remixes), but I regret to say that I've never heard the original of this collabo with the excellently-named German DJ Zombie Nation. Regardless, this track's remix is the epitome of the current wave of indie electro dance party music: chopped synth samples, bleeps, even a tight vocal exhalation fade in and out just when you want them to. Generally, tension builds and releases very predictably in dance music, and not that it doesn't here, but it does so at the perfect places: this ain't some 1997 Paul Van Dyk cut. I can't put it better than the headline from Tiga's website: "It will wash your brain clear of all witchcraft...prepare to dance you slugs!"
