No matter its form, remixed or as Datarock intended, "Give It Up" is at least partially about hooking you up with an enema.

You know the red tracksuits, but you haven't heard the Kissy Sell Out remix of "Give It Up" from the Norwegians' aptly titled forthcoming sophomore album Red. Screw subtlety! On it, they tried nailing a late '70s and early '80s rock feel ('76-'83, specifically, "the peak of cultural evolution"), only using equipment made prior to 1983 and replac...
