Most of the time I can’t stand having my email publicly known on the interwebs. Trust me when I tell you that more than half of what is sent my way is not worthy of listening to let alone posting for everyone else. That being said, there are moments when I’m glad for the emails I receive en masse. Lately one of those gems to sneak through has been a remix kid who goes by the name MMMathias. I’m not entirely sure of his name choice but I do love his choice of tracks he mixes up.
The other day he sent me an email that contained his remix of Ratatat. I’ll admit that I don’t usually buy into the hype surrounding bands. In fact I most often stay away from the most popular tracks over on hype or elbows. And to be honest most of you should stay away from them as well. Seriously, does anyone need another terrible hip hop track? Unfortunately this predisposition to scorn the hyped tracks sometimes leads to missing out on gems like Ratatat. I guess that’s a chance I’m willing to take.

mp3 : Ratatat - Mirando (MMMathias Remix)
I’m not quite sure which of these versions is my favorite. The first hails from LP3 (amazon) (itunes) which Ratatat will release on July 8th of this year while the remix comes from the prolific work of MMMathias. I like his remixes as they let the original work shine through with some minor enhancements.
