mp-FREE: Santogold – “L.E.S. Artistes (Left/Right remix)”

We’ll be the first to admit that we’re not huge fans of Santi White aka Santogold.  Her record’s okay, her personal aesthetic and "purpose" aren’t terribly off-putting, but whatever.  We’re just not big on her.  Sorry.  So we hesitated when we got this remix in our inbox and totally wanted to delete it, if only because of the above.  But we bit our tongues, downloaded it and patted ourselves on the back for doing so.  Turns out, the remix done by the boys in Left/Right is a surprising, but not totally unexpected piece of good work.  The tempo is great, the various breaks within are really well-placed and well done and nothing takes completely away the original’s vibe or style.
