Tiga 'Blondes Have More Fun' (Gerd Janson/The Black Madonna remixes) (Counter)
We know Tiga is more than capable of dropping a dancefloor destroyer. Here, his ode to fair hair gets the remix treatment from two of the most exciting producers of our time, Gerd Janson and The Black Madonna, both of whom have been busy carving out their own sound and totting up the air miles. Janson’s previous solo relases and collaborations with Phillip Lauer as Tuff City Kids have gained him a dedicated army of followers, and given the gargantuan acid rework he turns in here, it’s certainly not hard to see why: its mix of breakbeats, lush pads and choice vocal cuts make for one classy mix. The Black Madonna’s solid rework, meanwhile, incorporates her love of 80s synths with crisp drums. It only makes subtle use of the vocal, which perhaps could have been utilised more, but that’s just us being picky; it’s still another ace remix.
