Mice Parade/Kim Hiorthoy

No surprise that I'm posting this new gem of a remix from a new Mice Parade EP recently released on Bubblecore as both artists have been featured on scissorkick in the past. Kim Hiorthoy gives "Milton Road" ( a track from last year's Obrigado Saudade some of the happy we are looking for as spring rolls into town and enough of the Smalltown Supersound treatment to satisfy the IDM-monster hungering inside you. Circular percussion ans string stabs give way to a heady break reminiscent of less noisy Four Tet but with the same swagger as Hebden in his most head-nodding moments. Not sure how you'll respond to the rambling vocal samples. Half of me likes the sudden surprise, the other half thinks they (and the the repetitive, Rapture-like cowbell/hi-hat flurry) sort of unnecessarily tangle things up. But enough from me, what do all of you out there think?
