Imagine my excitement when scrolling through the
Hype Machine's Popular list I came across a blog post containing a
Justice remix of
When The Sun Goes Down by little known indie band, the
Arctic Monkeys. Alas, we (I say
we as a hell of a lot of folks checked this track out) were collectively duped by the offending blog,
Pretty Much Amazing, as the initial excitement quickly faded after the first 30 seconds of listening revealed the
remix to be nothing more than a disappointing mash-up bearing little resemblance to the Frenchies trademark sound. Anyway, every cloud has a silver lining as they say as I thought it'd be a worthwhile exercise to breakdown the track, revealing some great music of old. Here goes:

People are just straight up dicks man. Pure and simple. And unfortunately, they'll do whatever they can to boost up their ratings. Remember when Flux was all over that chart? And it turned out to be the fucking radio rip every damn time. Yet they wouldn't point that out because they wanted the hits! Same with the "Justice" remix. I believe its a rip from a set right? And Justice made the mash? So yeah, it's a Justice remix. Bollocks. That's stretching the truth a bit too far for me.
