Crystals flying everywhere - ding!


Here's the third installment of our infinite part series -- the fucking best remixes ever. A match made in heaven. Liars' goosebumps-inducing creep song gets the classic Crystal Castles 8-bit treatment. This is a tribute to the days when each Crystal Castles remix was unique and often went (above and) beyond the original....

Liars "It Fit When I Was A Kid (Crystal Castles Remix)"
[Mediafire]

What happened to Crystal Castles? I get that bands "evolve" or whatever, but for the once glorious remixers they slipped a bit with their latest remix: "Death" by White Lies. They made the amazing song sound like contemporary MSTRKRFT. I still believe in Crystal Castles, but I don't know if the world can wait much longer for their next release.

Maybe they'll unleash new material at their DJ set at Toronto's Wrongbar tonight?

The CC remix of White Lies' Death is so much better than the remix of Liars. It's easily my favourite CC song after Courtship Dating. Just shows you that everyone has different opinions.
