MGMT "Kids"

"Kids" from MGMT's "Oracular Spectacular" LP returns with a Soulwax remix and a huge nightlife buzz. At Barcelona's Razzmatazz club last weekend I counted about 4000 hands in the air when I dropped this. A huge juggernaut of a single that is a bona-fide anthem. Theres also a wonderful mashup called "Eve Massacre - Fuck the Kids (Peaches vs. MGMT vs. Soulwax vs. Yeah Yeah Yeahs)" making the rounds that uses the Soulwax remix as its base; find at www.hypem.com .
