It's always a good sign when the boss wants to work with you: "The two guys from Kry Wolf are from Portsmouth, England, and the track came in as a demo to me that I re-worked several times and played all summer with a great response from the crowd," says producer and Dirtybird Records head Claude VonStroke of "Turbosteppa," the song in question. "I ended up calling Kry Wolf and asking if they wanted to do an official version of it together as a release on my label Dirtybird." More than six versions of the track have been showing up in Kry Wolf's and VonStroke's sets lately, and now you can get an exclusive first listen to the final cut – a sparse house thumper laced cut up vocal samples and subtle wubby bass lines.

“Youth Knows No Pain”

Lykke Li | 2011

“Like on 'Youth Knows No Pain' — we are the ones that should demonstrate, because we can take it,” Likke Li said. “We can pierce ourselves, take Ecstasy, dance all night and still go to work at our McDonald's jobs.” Despite the hedonistic sentiment in the song, the Swedish singer also admitted in hindsight her youth had repercussions. “I remember when I was 18-19 and feeling that I know it all,” Li said. “I always feel that I know it all. But that song is about realizing you don’t, and reflecting, ‘Boy, if I only knew what would follow.’”
