But should Body Language have remixed Tei Shi's "Bassically"? **Abso-damn-lutely**. [Body Language](https://www.facebook.com/bodylanguagemusic)’s remix of [Tei Shi](https://www.facebook.com/teishimusic)’s most recent single, transforms the track from an understated pop lullaby into an understated disco thumper. The track plays like a b-side off a Cafe del Mar Volume 3 and Shi’s hypnotic vocals and looped melodies are both softer and more urgent, balancing the beat and mesmeric bass. **Catch Tei Shi at SXSW this year:** 3/16 - 6:40PM - Tumblr @ Mohawk 3/18 - 2:30PM - Secret Sounds @ Holy Mountain 3/18 - 9:00PM - BMI @ Bar 96 3/19 - 1:45PM - New Shapes @ Red Eyed Fly 3/19 - 8:00PM - Stubb's 3/20 - 7:00PM - NYLON x The dFm Present Terrace @ The W Hotel 3/21 - 10:00PM - Pigeons & Planes @ Hype Hotel
