“Mash-ups” are a little passé for the beat-building massive over at DFA Records (infamous home of LCD Soundsystem, Juan Maclean, et al…). And how do we know? Well, nu-jack DFA artistes Holy Ghost said so in their twitter! “This is the first and last mash up we’ll ever make,” the fantastic New York neo-disco-post-electro-with-vocals-whatever duo relayed about their dreaded mash up combining Holy Ghost’s earlier single “I Will Come Back” with “Yearning,” a new release from DFA act Black Van. They claim they broke the no-mash-up rule to celebrate Chinese New Year, but we’ll take the musical dividends no matter what. We’re HUGE fans of the original “I Will Come Back” over here: the catchy hooks of the chorus, plus the Paradise Garage-worthy electro of the groove, make it sound like vintage New Order sans the nasty ecstasy hangover. In other words, it’s a masterpiece of current dance music, for reals! Combined with Black Van’s “Yearning,” however, takes it to a fresh, delicious place. For one, “Yearning” is more of a filtered-out French touch-meets-dub disco extravaganza, building pianos, synths, and 4/4 kicks in a more typical (but no less satisfying) house music way. Combining the two, however, just proves the greatness of both original sources—when good taste is job one for both songs, having two great tastes that go great together is no joke.
