There's remixes, DJ tools, edits and mashups, and then there's what Miami's
Nitti Gritti has done here. "
Lights" combines the epic brass arc of Kanye's "
All Of The Lights" as covered by
Alexander Lewis and
Brasstracks, while managing to maintain the indie electronic sparkle of
San Holo's "
Light." To have the horns rise in revelry from out of the ethereal chorus of "I just wanna see the light" is one thing, but to have Rihanna join in is sheer magic. Even when the two tracks are most oppositional (1:17ish), their mixture actually seems strong. Especially towards the end of the track,
Nitti Gritti's mixing mastery shines through. He's able to flip back and forth between the two ingredients, whipping together an entirely new and appealing original. Brighten up your day with "
Lights," available free via Hive,
here.
