Well, we seem to be on a splendid Moving Castle kick tonight, but who can blame us when their roster of fine talent continues to present us with an endless stream of incredible new songs and remixes this week? Our latest MC dose of sonic rapture comes courtesy of Candle Weather and Manila Killa, well loved individually and widely adulated in unison as Hotel Garuda. They’ve taken on NYC producer TJANI’s sassy seductive sunset house jam Pad Thai, featuring honeyed vocals by Gracie, giving it a darker look with a dramatic deep house rendering. Hotel Garuda’s remix entrances and mesmerizes with its visceral beats and four to the floor cadence in its opening bars before tossing us some delectable curve balls by shifting into a more atmospheric and mellifluous gear. Before we know it, we’re getting jounced around by exhilarating future house styled elasticity and a taut vigor that leaves our hearts palpitating in excitement. But Hotel Garuda makes sure to leave us in a state of astonishment and wonder by returning to a dreamy contemplative, beautifully expansive style of sound by the end of their remix. Quite a dynamic journey, isn’t it? In the course of just about four and a half minutes, we’ve had an epic adventure that leaves us breathless. I’ll never look at pad thai the same. The remix is a limited time free download, here. Better be quick!
