I had the opportunity to catch up with Australian-born producer Plastic Plates after his performance at TomorrowWorld this year. Down to earth and extremely easy to talk to, meeting Felix just solidified my love for his bouncy, indie-dance sensibilities. Recently, the now LA-based producer has taken on psychedelic-dance troupe Miami Horror and their new single “Real Slow,” featuring Sarah Chernoff. Substituting the initial piano chords for something a bit more upbeat, Plastic Plates leads in with a perky electronic groove and the infectious chorus of “Pa pa pa pa, pa para pa pa, ” while contradicting the title of the track by bumping up the BPMs a notch.

If you like what you hear, make sure you head over to Plastic Plates’ Soundcloud page for a free download.

 

 
In addition to the remix, Miami Horror just dropped this wonderfully shot, new-wavy video for the single via Neon Gold Records. Get a rundown of the inspiration for “Real Slow” plus watch the official visuals below.

According to band producer Benjamin Plant, “‘Real Slow’ was written around similar experiences that Aaron [Shanahan] and I were having at the time. It’s about finding that place or person were you feel secure enough to take things slowly. We wanted to write a song that is more than just a concept, we wanted to write about something we were actually experiencing rather than something imagined. We wanted to see how that emotion translated into our music. I’ve never been a huge fan of listening to songs about love, no matter how painful or joyous they are, they can seem mediocre, but once you have those experiences for yourself then suddenly, all those songs make sense and become something you can really feel.”
