Lapse is at it again! This time Brittish electro-pop sensation La Roux, led by the ginger-haired singer Elly Jackson and produced by Ben Langmaid, get their third single ‘Bulletproof’ remixed by one of our favourite Cape Town based remixers (now there is a sub-genre), DJ Lapse! Or is it just Lapse now? Doesn’t matter, on to the music!

La Roux - Bulletproof (Lapse Remix)

This track is driven by sexy, yet simple keys that removes some of the urgency of the original, leaving behind a track that is smooth and sultry. The synths and claps that roll in and out add another layer that reminds you that, in the words of La Roux, “I’m having fun, don’t put me down…”.

Cape Town DJ / producer DJ Lapse is back with another awesome remix! This time it’s of Autokratz’s “Can’t Get Enough” and he turns it into a synthed up club anthem!

Be sure to grab this one… let us know what you think – Leave a comment!

I think it’s safe to say that when it comes to remixes, DJ Lapse has it made! Adding his distinctive flavour to each and every track he waves his remix wand at and they always come out banging!

The latest addition to his remix resumé is that of Walking on a Dream by Empire of the Sun. Adding a catchy bassline to the track and a favourite remix to my collection, be sure to check this one out!
