Hear Manicure Records’ hyper-intense pop mix

You’ve heard songs remixed, but have you ever heard them #MANICURED? Edmonton, Canada's Manicure Records spins tracks from the likes of Björk, Destiny's Child and Ariana Grande with sugar, creating pitched up new versions that cascade down with fervent, emphatic abandon. Like their peers PC Music, the music of Manicure Records gets to the heart of why pop is so intrinsic to our lives. Now young producer Ponibbi shares a breathless and brazen mix "Conceptual Girl," which they call a "preliminary club dissertation on femininity." It plays out like a who's who of internet pop magicians: Chicago's Teen Witch’s chugging remix of Lil' Mama's "Lip Gloss", Onika’s twist on Gwen Stefani's "Rich Girl", and a new take on Wynter Gordon's "Buy My Love". With this mix, Ponibbi was "focusing on externalizing emotional music, based in lyrical expression, and new takes on pop beats." Try to catch your breath.
