EXCLUSIVE: Applebottom – Let You (Blonde Remix)

Here’s a brief, scruffy history lesson.

Adam (Beluga) made a track called Now Or Never. Jake (Thieves) remixed it. There was something about the uplifting bounciness of the Thieves/Beluga combination that got everybody pricking their ears up and bobbing their heads. I was addicted to it for months. Everyone loved it. My cat hated it, but he’s a grumpy prick so he doesn’t count.

So, being as “devilishly handsome” as they describe themselves, it was inevitable that Jake and Adam wouldn’t be able to keep their hands off each others’ instruments. One night they finally let the winks and stares develop into a hot and steamy entwine and gave birth to Blonde.

Their first release, Talk To You, was as good as everyone expected it to be. Their second release, I Loved You, was a fuckload better and caught everyone a little off-guard. It triggered unforeseen levels of jumping across the land and the earthquakes caused raised entire buildings to the ground. The boys have mercifully allowed the world a whole month to rebuild itself before unleashing their next banger, but it’s too strong for them to contain any longer.

This one’s a little deeper and more reserved than the last, but, make no mistake, it’s still capable of causing similar widespread hedonistic destruction that the I Loved You did. So for that reason they’ve asked for our help in opening the taps slowly, by playing it exclusively via Sick Chirpse for 24 hours before it goes live on Eton Messy tomorrow.

So here it is, Blonde’s remix of Applebottom‘s ‘Let You’.
