Hippies meet electro-house in this re-mix of Lenny Kravitz’s “Are You Gonna Go My Way.”
This song has been re-mixed to death since its release in 1993 but I dug this 2012 version by dj Mick M. from Bangkok, Thailand enough to put together a video of archival hippie footage from the Sixties using the mix as a soundtrack.
If there’s anything beyond sonic/visual pleasure to be had from this mash-up it’s the knowledge that no matter how much things change a good rock riff is immortal and raves existed way before ecstasy hit the scene.
In “Are You Gonna Go My Way,” Kravitz does a pretty good job of recycling Hendrix so coupling the song with a bunch of dancing hippies works for me. And Mick’s re-mix takes the whole thing into a pop culture meta-sphere where we are in a constant spin cycle.
