Why do we like this?

You may remember RÆKO as the member of Sir Sly responsible for remixing St. Lucia's "Elevate" last week. It was his first ever remix under the pseudonym -- a remarkable fact given that it managed to pick up more than 25k plays in a short span.

Clearly struck by a spurt of creativity, Jason Suwito is back with a second remix: The Chain Gang Of 1974's "Sleepwalking." It's a powerfully intense and thoroughly well-produced interpretation, successfully capturing the synth-pop emotion of the original while maintaining a flare of its own.

Be sure to keep abreast by following RÆKO on Twitter -- I have a feeling he's got quite a few more tricks up his sleeve.
