Plus Move


I've been revisiting some of my older posts lately, and I arrived back at my first one.  It's a remix of "Little Secrets" by Passion Pit done by a guy named Jaques.  Give it a listen.  There was a reason I couldn't wait to help spread this track around the Internet; it gives this great vibe of being carefree, fun loving, and just out to have a good time.

Listening to it again, though, did recall my frustration over not being able to figure out where the rap vocals were from.  Then, amazingly, a miracle happened.  My older, wiser self realized that I should just ASK JAQUES WHERE IT WAS FROM.  I put my simple, elegant plan into action and shot him an email.  He very courteously and promptly replied and told me it was a cat named Future Kiddd from Pensacola, Florida. Problem solved.

I Googled this dude and most of the hits that returned were for "Passion Pit - Little Secrets (ft. Future Kiddd) (Plus Move Remix)". Well that was useless. I already knew the remix was of "Little Secrets", and I had just found out that it featured Future Kiddd, but what was all this 'Plus Move' noise?  I figured it was an old Jaques alias or group name and continued being upset over having learned nothing new.  Wahh.

Luckily, I have been known to have more than one good idea per day, which eventually led me to actually listen to the Plus Move track.  Within the first two seconds I was rewarded for my lapse in laziness hard work with an epiphany.  It's not the same track.  Jaques didn't add those vocals to the Passion Pit song, Plus Move did, and Jaques remixed their remix.  Whoa.

I found their Facebook page, and that had a link to a Tumblr full of free music.  They are comprised of members Future Kiddd and fuZZZy.  Yay, triple lettters.  I've listened through everything they had on there, and it's pretty solid.  They tend to start and end strong, both on tracks and on albums, and their remixes are probably better than their original material, but overall, I'm a fan.

Here's their version of the Passion Pit track.  Compared to Jaques's rework, it's much faster and MUCH funkier.
