Tim: Yelle, a French band we’ve covered before; this track, from 2011 which in its original version is a bit shouty and unpleasant. Madeon, the producer who had a go at this before he got famous, so probably when he was about 12 or something.

Tom: Oh hey, that sounds exactly like what I’d expect from Madeon. (Which, given it’s an early track from him, perhaps isn’t surprising.) Rapid-fire samples running into a solid dance remix.
Tim: I found it via a suggested playlist entitled “Run Far, Run Fast” on a streaming service; it’s good, isn’t it? Keeps the chorus from the original along with binning off the spoken and irritating verses, and sticks a quick genre-shift almost in a funk direction.
Lovely all round, and the video on top’s just a bonus, really. If I ever do start start running again: it’s right there with me.
Tom: Although I wouldn’t recommend doing that massive jump down a 45-degree hill. That’s just dangerous.
Tim: HAH! I LAUGH in the face of…actually, yeah, you’re probably right.
