Ho Ho. The flu is sucking the life out of me and so.
Luckily, there’s an easy remedy for life-suckage — you put the song in the coconut and mix it all together say DOCK-TAHHH
Esau Mwamwaya (a young Malawian singer now living in London) and Radioclit (a two-man European DJ/production/bootybouncer team) not only put together one of the bext mixtapes of the year in 2008, but they made it available for free.
The Very Best mixes fresh original material with jacked (and jacked-up) beats from your favorite songs of the last couple years (by Vampire Weekend, M.I.A., et al.) that make you feel like you’re hearing them for the first time again. Only it is not same!
I think I’m not making sense so here’s the song. It’s based on Architecture In Helsinki’s “Heart It Races.”
Get the full mixtape for free HERE. Thanks, Esau, Johan, and Etienne!

Why not get a peek at Malawi and cop some moves while you listen?

Hey Kevin-
Cool blog… thanks for promoting cool indie music
I’ve always been a huge fan of Architecture in Helsinki so when I heard Esau’s version I was pretty pumped.
I decided to mix both versions together and I think that The Very Best and Arch in Hels sound great together.
You may the video/audio mix up here:
