(I’ve been looking for an excuse to use that picture.)

If you like your music unashamedly dramatic, you have something in common with UK’s Screendeath. His remix of Andy Caldwell’s autotune-heavy Scream is a sprawling masterpiece of piano-driven house featuring an impressive intro that teams pulse-racing piano loops and heartbreaking orchestral effects. The vocals kick in with surges of spacey synths to carry the whole thing through to the gently heaving remainder. It’s slightly anxious, but very cool.

And if you missed it earlier, here’s Hidden Cat’s cover of Shooting Stars. Stripping out the vocals and slowing the pace down to a self-satisfied dawdle, the track loses none of its poppy sweetness but has reinvented it enough so those of you who are sick of the original can enjoy it without being reminded of the season premier of Australian Idol (and now apparently McDonalds).

    thanks for that, I’ve been hooked to that Bag Raiders song for a while now, and Hidden Cat gives it a proper chillout feel
