Mikey Maramag aka Blackbird Blackbird has released an entrancing remix of Teen Daze's ‘Shine On, You Crazy White Cap’.

Just when you thought it couldn’t get any more psychedelic, Mikey Maramag aka BLACKBIRD BLACKBIRD has released an entrancing remix of TEEN DAZE’s ‘Shine On, You Crazy White Cap’.

The young San Franciscan beat-maker has shaken it up with a Californian twist and an introspective sound reminiscent of fellow west coast musician YOUTH LAGOON.

The track opens with a deep sonic sound before exploding into the sentimental vocals embedded in a swirling synth. It’s a little bit space shooter, a little folk electronica- a remix evolving into a musical journey. BLACKBIRD BLACKBIRD breaks it down at two minutes before picking up the energy at the end.

The textured layering hints at the work of FOUR TET while maintaining the pop sensibilities of the Californian producer. He certainly works off the atmosphere of the original, TEEN DAZE’s original lyrics calling for a dreamy sound to match: “Let’s drive to the coastline/tonight you’re my past life.”

It’s the ideal track to daydream to - turn on, tune in, drop out.
