Looking to add some flavor to the favorite rap songs you've played over and over again? Brooklyn electronica duo Ratatat have composed just what you need to feed your ears. Ratatat has created interesting music over the past couple of years by expertly blending guitar riffs into a synthetic sonic landscape. The results were two great LPs, Ratatat and Classics, but after these projects were completed the band decided to turn their attention to rap music. They carefully selected songs from popular rap and completely reconstructed the beats. Beat building was achieved through the use of their guitars and synth savy , which developed a sound that could surely be the direction hip-hop is heading towards. Electronica music has already been becoming more prominent in Hip-hop and for good reason. The two genres work really well hand in hand and Ratatat gives you a glimpse of how great the union can really be. Jay- Z's "Allure" and Beanie Sigel's "Glock Nines" sound so fresh over Ratatat's beats that they could've easily been put on any of their LPs. Do yourself a favor and download the entire remix Vol. 2 album off Ratatat's myspace page (scroll down a little, it's on the right side). Apparently Vol. 1 is tough to find, but if your interested try to grab that too.
