Not that there's anything wrong with Diamond Cut remixes of either Candle Thieves or Radio Ink, but we have saved the best for last here on this mini-celebration of the work of Diamond Cut. His remix of 'My Face' by Starrset is nothing short of spectacu-bloody-lar.Starrset are the sort of men who have pictures of women in bikini's standing very close to each other on their MySpace page among other generally HETEROSEXUAL layout elements.
Sexuality aside, 'My Face' by Starrset is 100%, start to finish, jaw-droppingly brilliant. It's a europop-inspired hip-hop track, which is generally where the band themselves find themselves positioned, but where Diamond Cut succeeds in his remix of 'My Face' is in throwing out any notions of being 'inspired by' and goes full-throttle into the euro-pop territory. He turns the song, at approximately 200mph, into a gigantic electropop house monster which is quite possibly one of the best tracks we've heard so far this year.
It's futuristic, relentless and plucks some seriously memorably vocal hooks from the original. This is quite simply incredible.

And if that doesn't make you want to go out, you may as well get yourself settled in for the Antiques Roadshow right now.
