Background
In early 2013, Jean-Philip Grobler (also known as St. Lucia) remixed "Little Games", the debut single from the band, which was portrayed on Vice Media.[1] In the middle of that year, MTV published the Magic Man Remix of "Yes Yes"[2] with Baeble Music[3] and Hellhound Music featuring The Chainsmokers remix of "Fix This" at the end of that year.[4] Four months prior, debut EP Lido was published[5] with their debut studio album being released during the first quarter of 2014.[6] In early October 2014, The Colourist remix of "Say You Need Me" from the LP was debuted in preparation for the release of the EP.[7] One month following the release of the six song production, Culture Collide debuted the video for the same song.[8]
Critical reception
The St. Lucia remix of "Little Games" was rated as the No.1 song on Hype Machine.[9] Vice Media stated that St. Lucia "pulls a warm Balearic blanket over the original, sanding away its rough edges with bright synths and lightly gated percussion"[1] with Invisible Children describing the work as "total re-imagination and made specifically for after-hour parties".[10][11]
Brooke Ferguson of The Music Ninja stated that "Say You Need Me" is "guaranteed going to make you want to groove like never before"[7] with Ian Hays of Culture Collide describing the song as getting "an ‘80s makeover" with an "‘80s theme [extending] to the video itself".[8]
