After giving How to Dress Well’s "Suicide Dream 2" a "Baptism" last year, Elite Gymnastics has remixed "& It Was U" off Tom Krell’s latest record, Total Loss. EG mastermind James Brooks dresses up the original's heavy disco thumps with thrumming bass and strings, adding shades of melancholy that the original obscured with its "joyous jack swing." The last, additional minute suddenly slows down to a viscous, piano-laden crawl, a fitting soundtrack for Krell’s struggle out of a wrecked relationship.
