A Crowd Electric Remixes Madonna
David and Seth of emerging Brooklyn synth outfit A Crowd Electric grew quickly tired of the big, massive remixes of Madonna's new single "Miles Away." And you can't blame them. Instead of creating another wild dancefloor romp, they decided to put together a remix that stays a little closer to the original. Something that Madonna purists will most certainly be able to appreciate.
The duo writes ArjanWrites, "We're both big Madonna fans and noticed that all the commissioned remixes of this song were these big, anthemic club versions with massively sped-up elements. We wanted to make a mix that maintained the groove of the original but was still totally danceable." You can listen to it on their MySpace page.
"We've both been working on lyrics for our original material and much of them had to do with emotional and physical distance," David and Seth add. They also explain that the male voice that they added to their Madonna revamp is taken from the song "The Waiter" that is featured on their forthcoming album, titled "2 Blue Wolves."

This is a really nice mash-up! and i totally agree with their comment on the remixes for Miles Away. It was kind of annoying hearing a slower-type song transformed into a club anthem over and over again. To me, that's what makes the album versions of some songs a million times better than anything any remixer can put together. Thanks Arjan for bringing this amazing mash up to our iPods.

Must agree to House/Techno Remixes of Slow Songs/Ballads.
But A Crowd Electric did great Work on the wonderful Madonna Song.
Miles Away is Number one at Germany Air Play Charts.
