Jacques Greene's
remix strips down
the original song
By ERIKA HARWOOD
Daily Arts Writer
I'll admit: I'm slightly (and
sadly) prejudiced toward remix-
es of songs I adore. I speak from
past listening experiences when
I say that shoving unnecessary
dance beats or a dubstep-style
drop on a flawless original is
essentially akin to taking a dump
on a Picasso. Anyone armed with
a laptop with a half-full battery
can take a song and embellish it
with technological nonsense, but
Jacques Greene's veteran touch
makes
his remix First seen on
of Autre -the filter
Ne Veut's
"Play By Play" stand out as so
refreshing.
For the past few months ANV's
"Play By Play" has been my go-to
song. Despite a play count in the
triple digits, I still listento it mul-
tiple times every day - likea psy-
cho - and have yetto get sick of it.
Filled with layers upon layers of
Arthur Ashin's R&B-style croon-
ing on top of dazzling electronic
sounds, every listen provides a
new experience. Unarguably, the
song overwhelms, but in the most
euphoric and transcendent way
imaginable.
Then I saw this tweet by
Ashin: "I'm not sure that it can be
overstated that @jacquesgreene
made a remix of Play By Play."
I cried a little. Is nothing
sacred anymore? Is it possible for
music lovers to have one beloved
song go untainted by some
bearded Brookyln-ite's shitty
keyboard?
Apparently so, because this
remix isn't terrible. It's actually
pretty damn good. And to top it
off, Greene's beardless - so as far
as the glass ceiling of DJs go, he
seems to be making an attempt
to shatter all barriers. Instead
of distorting and misusing the
original (the ultimate crime of
awful remixes), Greene's version
strips it down, crafting a distinct,
alternate vision of Ashin's track.
The muffled beats build slowly
during the course of the song's
nearly seven minutes and keep
you clutching to Greene's every
sound and Ashin's every word.
Don't get me wrong, the origi-
nal will always reign superior
in my eyes, but as perfectly exe-
cuted remixes go, Greene knows
how to kill it.

Let me start by saying, I love
Mindy Kaling. I not only follow
her on multiple social networking
platforms, have read her book and
watch her TV show, but also fol-
low some of her staff writers and
friends on Twitter. I am under
the impression that she can dono
wrong. A funny, smart and cre-
ative woman of color, she deserves
to be everyone's role model.
That being said, I have a lot of
friends who find her show, "The
Mindy Project," to be lackluster.
They watched a few episodes dur-
ing the first season and stopped
when they were not consistently
