We don’t usually fuck with remixes here at the V, because it just reminds us that the blog house era is never truly coming back. But we perked up on this frigid Wednesday when The Dare sassed up some beats n’ treats on Wet Leg’s “mangetout”, taking the indie banger and massaging it into a quirky disco banger oozing with casual swagger. Word on the street (otherwise known as a press release) tells us that The Dare and Wet Leg struck up a friendship after DJing an afterparty last fall in Austin, and not to get all Jacob Cruikshank on everyone, but listening to this feels like we’re transported back to that dance floor. It’s magical. We weren’t there, of course, as our Austin days are long gone (miss you, SXSW), but we can only imagine. This pop of “mangetout” fills a void with flair and has us dancing while standing still.
