[Nu-Disco/House] Peaches – Fuck The Pain Away (The Golden Pony Remix)

Peaches
Fuck The Pain Away (The Golden Pony Remix)

After penning their first original last month, our favorite NYC disco tastemakers The Golden Pony return to the pages of TMN with a slightly grimier than normal remix of every slurry drunken white girl’s favorite sing-along, Peaches’ “Fuck The Pain Away”. TGP flirts a little more closely with the deeper, indie dance spectrum this time around, employing a very pronounced kick-clap pattern and a pitched down Peaches vocal track which besides its inflection is kept pretty intact. The duo’s synth line also plays in symbiotic harmony to the addictive albeit general vulgarity of the classic vocal track, and who can resist belting out that time-honored, complex lyric loop when it’s played out? As with the majority of The Golden Pony tunes, you can cop this one as a free download above.

Brooklyn’s favorite Electro-Disco revivalists The Golden Pony have had quite the knack for their selections in remixing from Daft Punk to Avicii to Carousel (a track we posted a few months back) and now Simon & Garfunkel, the duo seem to pair their beats symbiotically even with such a classic original like S &G’s “The Sound of Silence”. TGP take their listeners all the way back to 1964 when records were still manufactured on wax and love was as free as that killer whale Willy, but also bring “The Sound of Silence” back to 2013 with a techno sounding deep, arpeggiated synth punching its way over the original chord progression and Paul Simon’s unmistakable vocal intonations sounding as pristine and gorgeous as the day they were recorded. The tune comes as part of a new project from The Golden Pony entitled “Golden Classics” which will see the boys adding their funky-fresh groove to classic tunes from the 60’s all the way up to the 90’s, and as always it’s being offered up as free download through, so grab it while you’re here.

As the weather begins to take a much sunnier turn (much like our disposition), our souls begin to crave for that Summery, daytime-disco sound fit more for a rooftop party than a sweaty nightclub. It appears East Coast electro-disco revivalists The Golden Pony caught our spirit all the way across the country in Brooklyn, and gave us this playful remix of TMN favorites Carousel and their latest happy-dance single “Another Day”. TGP effectively strips away the playful lead guitar riff from the original while minimally toning down Jackson Philips’ angelic vocal reverberations in favor of letting a lush synthesizer take the lead. Last week The Golden Pony’s remix of Daft Punk and Panda Bear’s Random Access Memories entry “Doing It Right” racked up over 100,000 plays on Soundcloud as well as an appearance on The Hype Machine’s coveted Top-Ten for the week. If The Golden Pony continues to maintain their disco-dance integrity paired with excellent choices in remixing, it’s pretty safe to say we will be seeing more from the duo in the near future.
