Like Annie Mac says in this radio rip, Basement Jaxx remixing Vampire Weekend’s “White Sky” is a rare and wonderful thing and we should all give thanks. Alright, check. As the fanciful DJ also notes, Basement Jaxx keeps the record’s good parts in tact (i.e. Ezra Koenig’s uber-catchy wailing) but adds a few vital dance-floor elements that make you earn for the 320kbps version. Until you find that one roaming the Hype Machines, this radio-rip will have to do. UPDATE: Listen to and download the full quality version of the remix below (warning: it will blow your brains out):
