![]() ![]() The remix completely reworks the original recording into a meticulous synthpop arrangement where Hot Chip’s 20 years of experience combines with Wolf’s contemporary sound in an entirely new way. In contrast, Hot Chip’s remix of “Disco Man” doubles the length of the original and disperses fractured lyrics across entirely new synths and percussion. The track differs from the rest of the album in the fact that it is not explicitly a remix, where the rest of the album significantly alters the original content through introducing new production. Dominic Fike’s feature on “Photo ID” serves as the lead single, successfully incorporating his added verse in a radio-friendly evolution of her viral TikTok hit. Following the success of various remixes of I’m Allergic to Dogs! throughout 2020, Wolf works with a diverse array of collaborators, from alt-rock icon Beck to R&B group Phony Ppl, to explore the potential of every track from her prior EPs. ![]() Wolf combines new and old remixes into a cohesive package across We Love Dogs!. The function of her remixes also differs from the traditional pop trajectory-while remixes are traditionally utilized to increase danceability and generate exposure for both the original artist and remix producer across fanbases, Wolf redefines this typology as a means to experiment. True to her trademark unconventionality, Wolf opts to further explore her existing recordings by collaborating with other artists, instead of a typical approach that would see her moving from her prior EPs You’re a Dog! and I’m Allergic to Dogs! to a debut album. Remi Wolf’s uniquely vibrant and energetic brand of pop knows no bounds in her remix package We Love Dogs!. Whatever emotions were troubling them before have now been exorcised, all thanks to Remi Wolf’s cathartic, feel-good party.Tasty Tracks: Disco Man - Hot Chip Remix, Doctor - Phony Ppl Remix, Thicc - Gabriel Garzón-Montano Remix Elsewhere she strolls through the crowd while singing ‘Quiet On Set’ before an extended ‘Photo ID’ sees her dancing about the stage without a care in the worldīy the time Wolf finally leaves the stage, she’s given the glittery sweatbox her all. I didn’t really know what to do with myself so I wrote a song about it,” she tells the room before ‘Guerrilla’, a groove-led song that explodes with fist-pumping energy on more than one occasion. I would go to a party and feel like I was getting attacked by weird laser beams of energy. It’s chaotic, unexpected and a whole lot of fun – as is Wolf’s questionable British accent that she tries on time and time again. Midway through the set, Wolf briefly takes up a residency behind the drum kit, launching into a furious Rage Against The Machine inspired drum and bass jam while her ousted drummer leads the room in a series of chanted life lessons ( “It’s not ok to get drunk at work”). “This is one of the craziest shows we’ve played,” she says before asking the crowd who isn’t having fun? It’s the only time Moth Club falls silent. ![]() ‘Liz’ is the closest Wolf gets to a ballad but even that goes in hard. There’s the glitching electro bounce of ‘WYD’, the sunny swagger of ‘Sauce’ and impressive covers of both Gnarls Barkley’s ‘Crazy’ and MGMT’s ‘Electric Feel’. Whatever you want to call it, Wolf makes party music and from the second she hits the stage and launches into the woozy ‘Liquor Store’, every moment is cause for celebration. Hell, she almost scats during ‘Sexy Villain’ but there’s no time to step back and dissect exactly what’s going on. Vocally as well, she’s as comfortable rapping about fast food orgies (‘Quiet On Set) as she is belting out lyrics about love (‘Woo!’). ![]() Tonight, over the course of a 17-song set, the Californian artist dabbles in punk, pop, indie, funk and dance – often at the same time. Throughout, Wolf’s music is impossible to pigeonhole. “But the most therapeutic part for me is performance.” And tonight at London’s Moth Club, Wolf and her fanbase (lovingly nicknamed the Rem Jobs) purge their demons with a euphoric 75-minute set. “Sometimes I’ll write songs out of a need to expel whatever the fuck is going on inside,” she told NME recently as she made her cover debut. Last month, Remi Wolf’s electrifying debut album ‘Juno’ saw the 25-year-old talking candidly about sobriety, turbulent mental health, lust and social anxiety. ![]()
