This remix takes M.I.A.’s bizarre track “Pull Up The People” and burns it alive to pull it through the depths of hell.
M.I.A.’s “Pull Up The People” was one of the first tracks that introduced her musical style to the world with the help of Diplo.
It’s fitting that after almost 10 years, ALESIA remixed this classic track.
As soon as it starts you realize this is not the same track by a long shot. Sounding more like an outtake of Yeezus, ALESIA rips the track in half. The next 30 seconds throws it on its back and makes the listener submit to the assaulting grind of the track.
Almost like an alien technology that is possessed, ALESIA is able to find the monster inside. The magic happens at 1:35 on where the track breaks down into a softer, almost Blade Runner-esque, track; the calm before the storm. 2:15 the track folds unto itself and grinds forth heavily.
If you’re a fan of “Yeezus”, or even Excision, this track has it; a heavy pulse and a sinister flow, ALESIA morph M.I.A.’s “Pull Up The People” into the monster that was inside.
