This remix has been around for a while, but here it is, finally, in its mp3 glory. Sadly, it’s pretty damn awful. It makes sense that denied the remix — it reminds me of a bad rip off of Soulwax’s “Kids” remix. This is probably so upsetting because I actually like . A and combo should be stellar… this, definitely, is not. But anyway, the cat is out of the bag, so enjoy it if you do, or dislike it, whatever is fine with me.

Why would you post it if you don’t think it’s good? Find better material then.

It’s truly unfortunate that the beautiful parents of Diplo and MGMT had such an ugly remix baby.

Yes like Jear Bear said Diplo is always worth posting about…but what a bummer, when I seen this title I was super psyched becuase I always put MGMT and Diplo on the same mixtapes I make for people to expose them to new music they both have that uplifting happy feel…but not this shit…ha and Diplo is my fav. DJ but not psyched on this one…thanks for posting though…!

This track is atrocious. Diplo just seems to churn out one awful song after another yet everyone seems to be lapping it up. He’s certainly prolific but come on! It’s like the Emperor’s New Clothes. Just admit it, the guy is garbage.

diplo is really quite unreliable. some of his stuff really is amazing, but sometimes the ones that sound like they would be great just aren’t. Diplo’s remix of gold lion by the yeah yeah yeahs is a disgrace.

Yeah but his Malena Shaw – California Soul Remix was the shit and Top Ranking was great. He’s gotta get back to his hip hop/crunk/soul/experimental roots, in my opinion. How many of you have actually listened to Florida?
