Well-received electronic music is about as abundant as oxygen these days; there's an astounding amount of artists and producers putting together ever-engaging works through ever-evolving methods, and it seems that which each new day comes a new sound that instrumental world can't get enough of. Goon Bags, a duo with roots in St. Louis and Toronto, is the newest tandem to bring forth sonic spectacularity, and their remix of Housemate's "Always Here For You" is as good an introduction as any to their seemingly massive interpretations. The original, incredilbe in its own right, relied heavily on its intermittent indie-electronic outbursts to emanate intrigue, but Goon Bags has done away with all kinds of reserve with their injections, pumping up the pace of the track with rapid synth melodies and powering bass. It's a whole lot of sound to digest in one sitting, so if you need to listen a few times to appreciate the track fully, don't sweat it.
