RÜFÜS DU SOL is a trio out of Sydney, Australia, currently in the midst of an extensive U.S. tour. Refreshing for their use of live instrumentation in their house music, they are quickly gaining a reputation as an act to be watched closely. Now they've remixed another buzz magnet, ZHU, and his track "Paradise Awaits."
The original track is already quite dance-friendly, but also has a classic verse-chorus pop structure, ZHU waxing poetic about "walking around talking my shit" and "the naked women in my bed." RÜFÜS DU SOL take a more club-oriented approach, simplifying the lyrics, which gives them room to tinker with what remains. They show considerable skill as remixers here, dissembling the pieces and rebuilding them into a deep house masterpiece. Do not miss these Aussie's live show, dates are below.
