Download Les Professionnels’ remix of Passion Pit’s “Carried Away”
Here’s one for you to crank the headphones to as you navigate your pre-holiday hump day. Philly DJ / production crew Les Professionnels put their own spin on “Carried Away,” a standout track from Passion Pit’s 2012 release Gossamer. In their hands, it tuns into a late 80s / early 90s rollerskating rink jam, a slap-happy beat mixed with some tasteful echo and driving, bubbling synthesizer textures that just don’t relent. Dig in and download the track below, and catch Les Prof on Thursday, December 27 when they’re at The Trestle Inn for their Afreaka! party.
