[MP3] The Go! Team remix Black Moth Super Rainbow

Brighton’s The Go! Team remixed “Twin Of Myself” from Black Moth Super Rainbow’s latest album and practically reinvented the thing. What used to be a dreamy, heavy, synth-laden piece is now a cutesy, danceable summer romp song. “Summer romp” in my mind equals May poles, open fields, sundresses, barefeet, picnics and drug induced frolicking, in… Continue reading [MP3] The Go!
