Cazals - To Cut A Long Story Short (Xtopher Remix)

Well, we're in the midst of the holiday season here at MFR, and you all know how we like to give it away. With that in mind, I've got a remix of one of the recent Kitsuné signings that I think is rather excellent.

England's Cazals actually first appeared on Kitsuné's Maison Compilation 2 a couple of years back, but this month, the To Cut A Long Story Short single (a cover of a Spandau Ballet song!) is released with remixes by Vicarious Bliss, autoKratz and Streetlife DJs.

The single is in advance of the Cazals first full-length album, Life Is Boring which Kitsuné is putting out in the spring this next year. On the band's website, it says that recording the album was "an exception to [Kitsuné's] single- and electronic-music-only policy", as the label put the band in a Parisian studio with Julien Delfaud (who has produced tracks with Alex Gopher and Etienne De Crécy, and engineered for Phoenix) to make the record. Shows the label's faith in these guys. The band has shared the stage with other current British rock luminaries like Babyshambles, Bloc Party, and The Rakes, and, just this past week, they opened at the Daft Punk shows in Kobe and Tokyo Japan. Pretty awesome.

Check out the Georgi Testi-directed video for the song here, keep an eye peeled for the 12" and 7" versions of the TCALSS single in the shops in the next week or so, and download the Kitsuné catalog from our friends at Beatport or Turntable Lab. Happy Monday!
