Get ready to groove to the electrifying remix of Wet Leg's 'mangetout' by The Dare! This isn't just any remix; it's a pulsating dancefloor banger that will have you moving from the first beat. But here's where it gets controversial: The Dare's take on this Isle of Wight duo's hit single is a bold departure from the original, blending dance-punk, electroclash, and indie influences in a way that will leave you wanting more.
Wet Leg, who recently made waves with their album 'Moisturizer' and its chart-topping single 'mangetout', have teamed up with the Californian producer and musician The Dare after a chance encounter at an afterparty in Austin, Texas. The result is a fresh and frenetic spin on 'mangetout' that transforms it into a massive party anthem. With a strutting bassline, gooey lead synth, and snappy percussion, The Dare's remix is a testament to his party-driven style that blends dance-punk, electroclash, and indie influences.
But this isn't the first time Wet Leg has collaborated with a remixer. They've previously worked with the likes of Soulwax and Unknown Mortal Orchestra, and even released their own reworking of Depeche Mode's 'Wagging Tongue'. So, what makes The Dare's remix stand out? Well, it's not just the infectious energy; it's the way he reimagines 'mangetout' while staying true to its core essence.
The original 'mangetout' is a surreal and saucy indie anthem, and The Dare's remix captures that perfectly. It's a lost Strokes classic? A forgotten 'Youth & Young Manhood' era Kings Of Leon banger? You decide! But one thing's for sure: this remix is quintessential Wet Leg, and it's a chef's kiss!
Wet Leg is currently on the road in Australia, and they'll be returning to the US in April for Coachella 2026. But before that, they'll be playing their biggest UK shows yet this summer, including London's Alexandra Palace Park. So, if you're a fan of Wet Leg, The Dare, or just love a good dancefloor banger, don't miss out on these shows! And if you're feeling controversial, head over to the comments and let us know what you think of The Dare's remix of 'mangetout'. Will you be grooving to it or passing it by?
