Tracking in Mainstream - It's Time

Found this remix of Sebastian Tellier's big hit Divine remixed by Danger, who has been really quite awesome lately.

This song is DEFINITELY fucking TRACKED.
Listen to the beginning. That is a TRACKER.
And the rest of it bears hints of tracking. (listen to those drums (and how they're NOT hyper-compressed) and the distorted guitars near the end) In fact, it doesn't really sound like a Danger song because, while the other Danger songs do bear some marks of having tracked, they definitely don't sound like they're actually tracked.
But this does. It doesn't even sound like it's gone through any mastering to add the trademark blog-house hyper-compression. Weird.

Anyway.
I can't find a direct mp3, so that stream is all I got. Sorry babys.

UPDATE:
Found a zshare download for this mofo.

Here's the new WSUM-Badger Herald podcast!

intro is dope but once the beat drops it gets too generic for me. they do let a few of those ultra-tight tracker arpeggio stabs poke through again towards the end which is nice.

what is your evidence that "Divine" is a "big hit"? isn't the single not even out yet?
