Stream: A Monument To Everything (Kindness mix feat. Busiswa) - Röyksopp & Robyn

@Kindness has remixed Monument, taken from the Do It Again mini-album with @Robyn. The track will be available on Monday 18th Aug along with a Mark E (@merc_music) mix. Watch the full video for Monument here: http://youtu.be/6c-RbGZBnBI @Kindness: It’s been a pleasure seeing how “Monument” started stretching its legs over time: from 5 to 7 to 12 minutes at one point,” said Bainbridge. “When Robyn and I spoke about reworking the song, it was already so right, so hauntingly gossamer, that it seemed it could only be remixed by taking away—stripping things back to the core of its groove. I’m very happy to have Busiswa on this (even slightly slower) version of “Monument,” making a deeper connection with the Kwaito shuffle I thought was lurking somewhere in the heart of the track.

Kindness lends his loose and funky charms to Monument, one of the stand-out tracks from Röyksopp & Robyn's recent mini-LP Do It Again... The additional lyrics from Busiswa feel like a bit of an onslaught set against such a laid back track but the last minute or two are pretty special.

This remix comes hot on the heels of the recent preview of World Restart, the first track from the next Kindness album. Hot and heavy summer vibes here with guest vocals from Kelela:
