It's been about a month and a half since the death of Michael Jackson and it seems like the man is never gonna get to rest in peace. I got a load of remixes immediately following that tragic day. One of the best I found was done by none other than turntable wizard Z-Trip . A happy song to remember a happier time. He will always live on through his music and those that loved him. [...]
I don't know what it is about Katy Perry , I automatically lumped her into the "too pop for my liking" category before ever really giving her a chance.... I actually like her songs - "Oh, no... Am I going Pop?" Probably not very likely, I tend to enjoy all the remixes I've heard much better than the somewhat generic beats of the originals. First up is a remix from Chicago based La Dolce Vita . Check out their myspace for bunch of other remixes from artists like The Faint, Julien-K, Passion [...]
We all know Natalie Imbruglia , but this is much different take on her regular sound. Ganja Kru , for those that don't know, are comprised of Drum n Bass masters Hype, Zinc and Pascal. This remix is certainly not a new one, but as it came on my playlist it brought me back to a certain place in my past... A wonderful feeling overcame by body and I just had to share this tune, hopefully it'll do the same for you. Natalie Imbruglia [...]
I've been a fan of Calvin Harris for a while, but mostly for his remix work - this time we're featuring a Calvin Harris track that's remixed by another remix king, Doorly . What's starts off with a smooth vocal melody and almost trance-like elements, builds up and drops into a rugged Bassline track. This shit is sick! Calvin Harris - I'm Not Alone (Doorly Remix)
AutoKratz just released their debut album "Animal" in June and already I've found a couple remixes floating around. 80kidz are huge right now. Based out of Japan, this trio of producers/musicians/DJs are currently touring their home country along with parts of Europe. Featured on Pete Tong's In New Music We Trust on BBC Radio 1 - if you don't know 80kidz now, you soon will. AutoKratz - Stay The Same (80kidz remix)
Major Lazer's recently released album "Guns Don't Kill People... Lazers Do" is the genius work of Diplo and Switch. With it's blend of hip hop, dancehall and reggae influences this album is already tearing up dance floors. In no time remixes started popping up. Today we feature a nice mashup done by Poirier - mixing the music of their track 'Wha-La-La-Leng' with the acapella of Major Lazer's 'Hold The Line'. Major Lazer - Hold The Line [...]
As if M.I.A.'s 'Paper Planes' wasn't already a serious tune..... London, UK based Atomic Hooligan has flipped it and transformed this track into an amazing booty house banger. Also, M.I.A. back in the studio? Can this be true? Let's hope so, ears open for more news on this. M.I.A. - Paper Planes (Atomic Hooligan Remix)
I can't remember where I got this remix, but I'm glad I did. I'll admit it, as a kid I actually used to like the original.... It now gets puts into that "cheese" category, but whenever it gets played it still takes me back to those days. That being said, this remix by Defunct! has transformed this song into some seriously rugged, bass-heavy electro and I dare anyone not to get turned on to this track now. Snow - Informer [...]
Oh Shit! are a couple of DJ's/producers from Los Angeles that released their Pushin Harder album about a month ago. Go to beatport.com and buy that shit! I recently received an email with a couple of remixes of the title track, so I'm passing on these dirty electro beats re-done by Philthy B . Oh Shit! - Pushin' Harder ft Whiskey Pete (Philthy B Remix)
Streetlab is a monster when it comes to remixes - he seems to pump them out almost daily! This funked out Beatles classic is the first of a 12 song remix album he's put together for free download. This album also features remixes of artists like ZZ Top, The Doors, Led Zeppelin and Hall & Oats, to name a few. Get it at streetlab.net , plus for a lot more free remixes to check out. The Beatles - [...]
Houston, TX based electro synthpop group Glasnost are taking 2009 by storm. In March they released their Great Divide EP, with which they held a remix contest for the track 'Come Alone'. The top three remixes were featured on the EP, but today we're featuring a new dark dubstep remix of 'Come Alone' done by a DJ crew based out of Austin, TX called Vicious . Glasnost are back in the studio working on a full length album which is set for early [...]
La Roux is blowing up right now and everyone is taking notice of not only her songs, but the stacks of remixes coming out. One of the best I've heard recently is by Vancouver based DJ/producer iamxl - a fantastic electro-house blend that is sure to get asses shaking on any dance floor. La Roux - Bulletproof (iamxl 'no guns' Remix)
I first featured la ZEBRA in a post at awmusic.ca after he contacted me about a remix he'd done for Matt & Kim's 'Daylight'. This time around he's dropped a bomb with his rendition of the popular Daft Punk track 'Da Funk'. Enjoy. Daft Punk - da Funk (laZEBRA Bootleg Remix)
Das Racist is a group from Brooklyn that are tearing apart all the boundaries of hip hop as we know it. With their Bhangra influenced electro beats and comedic rhymes, they are definitely making their mark. I was first introduced to them with their song 'Combination Pizza Hut & Taco Bell' and have been a fan ever since. Old Money just emailed me a remix of Das Racist's 'Chicken and Meat' , so I thought I'd throw it up for your enjoyment. [...]
I'll admit, when hearing this track I had no idea who V V Brown was or that this was even a remix. I have to thank my friend Julie for bringing this to my attention, I'm fully hooked on this track! Since hearing the original V V Brown song, I still like this drum & bass version by Blame better. V V Brown - Shark in the Water (Blame Remix)
One of the hottest tracks this summer is without a doubt 'Bonkers' by Dizzee Rascal and Armand Van Helden . With constant rotation on BBC Radio 1 thanks to DJ's like Annie Nightingale and Annie Mac , this song has become a current UK singles chart-topper. Doorly takes a stab at this mega-hit and puts his own flavour on it. Dizzee Rascal & [...]
Well, where to begin? I really had a hard time choosing what this first post would include and decided just to stick my remix playlist on random and the first song to pop up would be the winner. Yeah Yeah Yeahs 'Heads Will Roll' is a fantastic song to begin with, but has been exposed to new elements thanks to Ryan Nexus . Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Heads Will Roll (Ryan Nexus Remix)
