Rich DietZ and bradeazy Transform MGMT’s “Kids” Into Synth-Soaked House Anthem

Between the worlds of indie nostalgia and contemporary club culture, Rich DietZ and bradeazy have built a sonic bridge worth crossing with their edit of MGMT's "Kids."

They've landed on Hood Politics Records with the euphoric track, a testament to how electronic music can breathe new life into beloved songs without losing their emotional core. Their rework of the band's synth-soaked classic transforms the familiar into fresh territory, crafting a house music odyssey that pays homage while charting its own course.

Rich DietZ and bradeazy demonstrate a keen understanding of both source material and modern dance floor dynamics, weaving the original's ageless melody into a propulsive framework built for peak-time energy. The producers' emphasis on the track's melody serves as an anchor point, a clever bridge between past and present that gives ravers a familiar touchstone amid their thundering beats.

Where MGMT's version captured youthful nostalgia through indie-rock, their edit recontextualizes that spirit for today's generation. All said and done, it's a reminder that sometimes the best way forward is to look back. Take a listen below.
