Sally Shapiro – Looking at the Stars (FM Attack Remix)

Without a doubt, one of my favorite remixes this year is definitely Pnau – With You Forever (FM Attack Remix). I’d been waiting to hear a little more from FM Attack, aka Vancouver’s Shawn Ward, and now my wait is over, at least temporarily. You see, he’s done a remix of “Looking at the Stars” by Sally Shapiro that is pretty much everything I love about FM Attack. If you are unfamiliar with Sally Shapiro, she’s a Swedish songstress who dabbles in the disco/dance/synth/pop genres. Although, technically, Sally Shapiro is made up of Sally Shapiro and DJ Johan Agebjörn. Sally Shapiro released an album last year entitled My Guilty Pleasure and the album has now been remixed by a variety of artists, so that’s where you can find this track. I think Mr. Ward told me via Facebook message a while back that he was working on an album, so let’s hope that is still happening and that it sees the light of day soon.

I wonder what new genre we can come up with to describe FM Attack. Chillhouse? Trancewave? Whatever we want to call it, it pretty much rules the school.

And here’s a fantastic original tune, since we’ve really only featured the remixes of FM Attack. But his own stuff is just as good and juicy. Here’s a track from his 2009 album Dreamatic

pnau – with you forever (fm attack remix)

as we dive back into our regularly scheduled program after last weeks hip hop showcase, i really wanted to start out the week with a smokin hot track. fortunately, this fm attack remix of with you forever by pnau is nothing short of smokin hot. pnau is made up of peter mayes and nick littlemore. nick littlemore is also one half of empire of the sun with luke steele, who is also a member of the sleepy jackson, who was an extra in footloose starring, you guessed it, kevin bacon! of course this isnt true, but isnt that what it seems like? in a very good way of course.

while i like the original version of this song, the real key that makes this remix so memorable is fm attack, the nom du plume of vancouvers shawn ward, who really turned this already excellent pnau track into something really special. the world that fm attack creates is almost indescribable, but i think i can sum it up in three words: hard working, alpha male, jackhammer…merciless….insatiable. but seriously folks, theres no denying the ridiculous synth-infused dreamworld dance party where this remix takes you. instead of me giving more awful description, give it a listen for yourself. i dont think you will be disappointed.
