Back in June, we posted the song "What Is Guru" by Finland's Renaissance Man and celebrated its wonky take on regular rhythm. The new mix they've made for French clothing line Sixpack (shout to Upnorth) grows this lopsided trend, like one gear of the tape machine melted and the other is working double time. All of the percussion is made of rubber balls and xylophones for two-year-olds and there are a number of bleating moments that sound extremely, happily flatulent. If there was a club in New York that played this we would go every night. No that is a lie we would never go because it would probably be scary. Full tracklist—including the wild Riva Starr mix of "What is Guru" and some track that samples the Bilal hook from "Nightmares" and Roberto De Simone aka Schnipper's dream music—is after the jump.
