The Rapture has decided to kick off 2012 by releasing a compilation of remix’s for Sail Away, the opening track from “In the Grace of Your Love” that dropped late last year. The Sail Away EP was released on Monday through DFA and includes some of music’s finest homies, with Cut Copy, Aeroplane, and Cosmic kids all making appearances. Well done boys, well done. You can stream the whole thing here.
In a rather novel twist the DFA guys led a live streamed panel to run through The Rapture “How Deep is Your Love” finalists and eventual winner.
After a studious listen to all 11 entrants the winner was announced as Cyclist & Pat Lok, the British Canadian entry – although we had dibs on home-grown talent Cassian taking the blue ribbon.
Some stellar talent on remix duty here for DFA’s The Rapture. Aeroplane and Cut Copy are big names and don’t disappoint. The Aeroplane remix is unmistakably Vito, with typical long and lovely build up and solid disco undertones. Cut Copy have turned out a big tune with a killer jazzy synth line to start the track and typical Cut Copy song structure. The Cosmic Kids remix is probably the best on the EP however; I loved the cut back approach, and it’s super dreamy. Nice.
“Sail Away,” a highlight from The Rapture’s jam-heavy third full-length album, In The Grace of Your Love, has been remixed by Australia’s premiere electro-rock duo, Cut Copy (who also released a jam-heavy third full-length called Zonoscope in 2011).

By our very own Tropicool, this tape will put the funk back in your step and make your day sparkle brighter than a disco ball at Studio 54.

Nuestro homeboy Monsieur Van Pratt nos acaba de compartir un remix hecho a "How deep is your love" de The Rapture, el cual contiene extractos de la thong song de Sisqó, aunque los propios autores digan que es una coincidencia musical más que un intertexto.
