“Paper Planes”—MIA (DFA Mix)

Dope as it is, I thought I’d had enough of MIA’s Paper Planes after hearing it dropped in every big city set this year but this DFA mix from the Slumdog Millionaire soundtrack is super catchy.  A great remix makes you remember why you liked the song so much in the first place.

MIA uses hip-hop to build a new mythology based on a westernized remix of eastern culture.  Danny Boyle uses digital video to do the same thing in a movie.
