The mystery surrounding the death of Samuel See, a Yale professor who was found dead in a jail cell last week, has grown — according to the New Haven Register, photos of See, along with his phone number and address, were found on at least four male escort sites under the name Ryan Cochran. Authorities are still unsure of the cause of death.

Today's Song: Escort "Starlight (RAC Remix)" (Premiere)

"Starlight," the debut single from Brooklyn disco revivalists Escort is now 6 years old, but no less relevant than it was upon release. Part of it is its nailing of disco chic (and post-disco synth squiggles), part of it is that after releasing a string of singles, the act finally released its debut last year, thereby reintroducing the song. And the newest part of it is that it's been remixed for the band's upcoming Escort Remixed, out Oct. 16. The compilation collects some already released mixes as well as some new ones, like the RAC remix of "Starlight," which we're premiering today. This beefs up the track with a more Italo-indebted bass line, while retaining the sharp strings and Adeline Michele's lush vocals. It breathes new life into a track that has shown no signs of dying.
