Remember up and coming LA band Fool’s Gold that I first picked up on way back in August of last year when I first heard their song “Surprise Hotel”? Well, since I happen to have a propensity towards hearing about songs and remixes months after the fact, I figured I’d share a pretty fantastic remix of their track “Nadine” by none other than our boy Dayve Hawk of Memory Tapes. I think this first hit the interwebs last summer, probably right around that August time frame I mentioned earlier. But I’m just hearing it for the first time so it’s new to me. My favorite part about this remix is that there seem to be 2 or 3 distinct sections throughout, all ending with the in your face synthetic horn section taking us home.

Fool’s Gold – Nadine (Memory Tapes Version)
And as a fortunate coincidence since I already had this post queued up at the time of Mr. Hawk’s most recent release, a remix of Crystal Castles’ “Suffocation”, I figured it was entirely appropriate to include here. I still don’t know if I’ve found a Memory Tapes remix that I do not enjoy. I like to try not to post too much of the same artists on the site, but sometimes I have no choice. I especially like the extended outro.
