"Mexicali (Simple Symmetry remix)" by Polo & Pan

Curated by: Brendan Boland

Genre: #frenchhouse

The first time I heard Polo & Pan I leapt off my couch, grinned as wide as the court gesture in Disney’s Hunchback of Notre Dame, and gave way to a revelry that scared my dog and worried my wife. Since, they’ve played Coachella, they’ve released a few collaboration tracks (check out "Lost in Time" with Fakear and "Cadenza" with Yusek), and their Circle video – shot in the middle of a carnival tent -- may be one of my favorite live recordings to date.

Simple Symmetry’s remix twists and transforms the original’s song into a darker carousel, while maintaining the original’s theme – impending danger, adrenaline, and ominous fate. Here, the bells no longer call forth as a beacon of unbridled imagination. Instead, they seem to offer a last warning before we fully emerge in the harsh, almost inhuman world.
Simple Symmetry (Sasha and Sergey Lipsky) is a brother duo from Moscow. Signing to Disco Halal records for their early releases, the tandem is known for mixing world rhythms and instruments over darker, psychedelic sounds. As in this remix, their songs weave narratives best suited to reverberate across a concrete shadows of the underground.
