Arapaima - Hur777

Another creative rework of a top 40 track coming at you today, this time from Arapaima with a twist on Christina Aguilera's Hurt. 

Arapaima's version leaves much of the vocal sample intact but sped up to introduce it before looping it a bit for the buildup and chopping it right up when buildup drops back in at 0:56. The synth work is warm, and the percussion is tight. All around a really great and unique rework with Arapaima's signature sound.

I'm going to leave this review short and sweet to match the track. Enjoy.

Kartell - Genie In A Bottle

This is a throwback for Thursday in more ways than one... First of all, Kartell uploaded this about 10 months ago, but it is also a rework of Christina Aguilera's Genie In A Bottle.  And damn, this is a hell of a rework. Kartell brings the upbeat house and garage flavour here, with really tight production and attention to detail.  Things never get too busy, and there are well placed spaces in the sound throughout.

Uploaded by HW&W recordings, we've still been unable to track down a download, whether released as a free or paid download. If anyone has a line on this one, we'd appreciate a link, as this is too good to let go of without adding to our music library.
