The Juan Maclean: "Love Is in the Air (Mock and Toof Remix)" [MySpace stream coming soon]

PITCHFORKMEDIA.COM: London-based duo Mock and Toof run with the optimism of Maclean's flute-- some of the vocoder parts, too-- and forego the rest of the original's heavy disconnect. This track is now a banger, smacking with the sound of the moment-- electro-house in a vacuum, deep in tone, stretched and echoed out. The synth, visceral and heavy, kills any resistence to stagnation. Granted, there's palpable irony to Mock and Toof remixing Less Than Human's saddest song, but it's never debilitating. If anything, they reveal another purpose for the song: letting sad sacks work their frustrations out on the dancefloor.
