Sumer Wicker Rain (Futureheads vs Creedence Clearwater Revival)
As Summer comes to an end, so time for a badly timed pagan mayday mashup with The Futureheads vs Creedence Clearwater Revival from DJNoNo to express the cycle of life.

Solar Power meets Bobby Goldsboro’s The First Time, a forgotten classic from 1973. Even has the same hint of menace/weirdness at the end like the original…
