5 Charli XCX Remixes to Keep Your “Brat Summer” in Full Swing

It may be the middle of August, but Charli XCX's "brat summer" has kept the season red-hot—under the guise of a lurid green shade.

Its likely you've heard the phrase by now, what with the phrase and its signature green palette taking over social media platforms and signage worldwide. But what exactly is "brat summer"?

Deriving from her sixth studio album BRAT, the term was characterized by Charli as someone who rocks "a pack of cigs, a Bic lighter and a strappy white top with no bra" on the BBC's Sidetracked podcast. Along with the album's brazen messages and intersection of hyperpop and house music, "brat summer" essentially encourages all to live a colorful and wildly unapologetic life, partying as much as they so please.

But fans are not the only ones taking to BRAT. Electronic music producers are taking "brat summer" to another level by producing their own remixes of the album's tracks en masse. Read on to discover five of the best.

Charli XCX - Talk Talk (Dreeks Remix)

Dialing up the tempo, Brighton-based producer Dreeks put an ethereal spin on "Talk talk" in his remix. After starting with gentle, airy production in the first verse, he unloads a rousing and euphoric four-on-the-floor drop with a hyperpop twist.
