# EB Listening: Stream Coma’s remix of “Guest List” by DENA
It's likely most people will know Denitza Torodrova, aka [DENA][1]{:
target="_blank"}, from the underground hit "Cash, Diamond Rings,
Swimming Pools". A Kitsuné banger, it demonstrated both her heady
production style---collagist, synthetic, more than a little
M.I.A.-influenced---and a keen sense of humor. But there's more...
Bulgaria born but based in Berlin, some broadsheet newspapers have also
held DENA up as a satirist of the debauched Berlin lifestyle; these big,
daft pop songs, on closer listen, appearing far more critical than
celebratory.
As we've already announced, DENA is playing [Electronic Beats Festival
in Zagreb][2]{: target="_blank"} on November 8th
alongside [Efterklang][3]{: target="_blank"}, [Fritz Kalkbrenner][4]{:
target="_blank"} and [MS MR][5]{: target="_blank"} and when we found out
her latest single "Guest List" was remixed by former [EB Festival break
out stars][6]{: target="_blank"} Coma we felt it was our duty to bring
it to a wider audience because, well, it's a good'un. "Guest List" sees
Dena sticking with "Cash, Diamond Rings..." formula of um, *party*
politics as she parodies the pre-gig PR blag. In their remix, the
Kompakt-associated duo snap the original's loose joints, strip the
comedy vocals and stretch it out into a seven minute slice of
slow-release dancefloor fodder. Listen above and remember, no one likes
a ligger, especially---we presume---DENA.
