"I'm dancing like a retard..."

So, Ebony Bones is our tip for the coming months. "We Know All About You" has already been spotted backing a BBC radio advert and is hot on the blogs. Miss Bones describes herself as 'like Harry Potter, with a vagina' and has been hailed as 'the punk Beyonce'. She digs all kinds of grills and big squashy novelty shaped jewellery too. The remix below of "I'm Your Fututre XWife" is produced by Miss Bones herself, and sounds like carnival time; dancing and singing and shouting; a hive of spangly energy. Which means it reminds me of Dama Estrela's "Tipicou" - a track always worth digging up again.

This remix of "I'm Your Future Xwife" churns up the neon flailing of the original into gloriously choppy baile-funk. The sharp bite of Miss Bones' badass vocals crash through the parp of fake brass and baile shouts; looped half-beats, hand claps and playground calls, spitting "I'm so frustrated now/I'm dancing like a retard/I'm only here because I'm trying to get you hard."

This is just bad; pounding, grinding fast paced beats. For those who aren't there yet:

The remix reminds me very much of this track, which is featured on Diplo's Mad Decent Radio Vol.1. "Tipicou" is, in my book, a classic. It rattles by, illuminated with skeleton beats and cheap flourescent backing tracks that light up the stage and fill it with the bustle of too many dancing bodies before Dama Estrela hits the mic, a hot sweat of high energy vocals; a sharp squall chanting I don't know what.
