Fool’s Gold’s self-titled debut album came out this past Tuesday and to celebrate, I've got a remix of their single Surprise Hotel. Last month, I fell in love with the original, which is a jammy little concoction of light and tropical summertime fun. As for this mix? Well, read on.


Phaseone, he of a crunkalicious nature, washed out the song and transformed it into a mesmerizing array of enveloping sounds. Think "bad trip gone right" and you can get the general feeling he was aiming for.

This mix takes Surprise Hotel from stateside bliss to international antics and aesthetics.

Fool's Gold are on tour through December, with Metronomy and Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros. Dates here.
