Dutch electro dance group Hi_Tack had a fair bit of success with previous single, 'Say Say Say' - reaching #4 in the UK Singles chart. And now they're back with another crack at the top 10, this time shooting with a blend of classic Bowie and their signature euro-esque electro house.
I like David Bowie - and I like electro house too, as it happens. So surely this is like some kind of dream combination?
Not quite. I mean, I like Coca-Cola, and I like chicken - but a combination of the two? Surely such a grating combination would turn the stomach.
And turn it does. To rub salt in the already-open wound, this remix offers very little above the original - and destroys the subtlety of the original.
Sheer daylight grave robbery, to muddle a few metaphors. Let this trend for half-hearted bastard-electro remixes end now.
What next?More by Hi_Tack? More reviews? More electro, or house?
