remix of the year so far (2004 edition).

Also the paper faces remix of comfortably numb. I like all the ones on Job's list which I've heard, about 6 or 7.

Like the DFA mix of NERD but it is a bit too much what you'd expect perhaps.

The Friends with Girls mix is ace yes. But it would be better if it was called the Friends With Gurls mix.

It makes it a little more acceptable for people like me to admit they're really into a Ferry Corsten track... ;-)

Album is terrific and is coming out April 5 or 12. You can still hear that remix as the first track on my January 3 radio show. A Spektrum album track was played last Saturday.

!

You can, here. ("uur 1" = "EERSTE UUR" = first hour = top loudspeaker button)

The same logic can be applied to...

Superstar (Copenhaniacs Remix) - Jamelia (Parlophone)

you heard the one with Freeway? He kills it.

01) Greyboy - Genevieve (Quantic Remix) <- can you say funky?
02) Syntax - Bliss (Felix Da Housecat's Dub)
03) Chikinki - Like It Or Leave It (Tom Neville's Bed It Or Burn It Remix)
04) Armand Van Helden feat Spalding Rockwell - Hear my Name (Solid Groove's Hear My Rub mix) (i think it's his own remix, but it's well worth including anyway)
05) The Beta Band - Assessment (C Swing's Bootleg Mix) <- takes an otherwise dull and dreary tune and makes it pretty great
06) Avril - Be Yourself (Broadcast Remix) <- just whoah
07) Sia - Breathe Me (Ulrich Schnauss Remix) <- as dreamy as it should've been in the first place
08) Hybrid - Higher Than A Skyscraper (Freq Nasty's "Ragga Roc Relic Mix)
09) Basement Jaxx - Plug It In (AVH Remix)
10) Martin Solveig - Rocking Music (Warren Clarke Remix)

Well worth including, but it is of course by the mighty Dave "Solid Groove" Taylor of Switch fame.

following on with tiefschwarz love - dj hell rerub is hot (for now - they're gonna burn out real soon and it's making me stop buying their records)

has anyone heard the whitey remix of kylie or is that just viciousness?

Ahhh thanks. The name didn't look familiar and I know AVH usually does a set of his own dubs so I just assumed... Quality remixes both the rub and the dub. Know if he's done other mixes for other people recently? nothing's turning up for me in the usual places to look

I can recommend:

Dubsided EP - Solid Groove (Dubsided)
Late at Night (Solid Groove Dubbed it) - Futureshock (Junior/Parlophone)
About Love (Solid Groove Remix) - Roy Davis Jr. (Classic)

you can hear it on air's website!

I am really feeling Black Strobe's remix of Moskow Reise by David Carretta, Millimetric, and The Hacker. On Goodlife, naturally.

Strongo, not big on C-Swing's 'Squares' remix? Weren't that bad (not so good either, 'Assessment' is better to work with).

has it been thin on the tom middleton ground this year
or have i not been paying attention?
what's her remixed apart from that kylie one?

in addition to the kylie mix:
ilya's "bliss' (one of my faves of the year)
a mix and dub of faithless' - "mass destruction"
a nice revisit of the beloved's "sweet harmony"

it has been a slim year though.

cerrone - you are the one (jamie lewis peak time dub)
lostep - burma (sasha_remix)
esthero - og bitch (bill hamel club vocal)
felix da housecat - rocket ride (soulwax rock it right mix)
yoko ono - everyman everywoman (basement jaxx man 2 man mix)
psychonauts - world keeps turning (emperor machines vocal)
kings of tomorrow - dreams (rasmus faber dub)
armand van helden - my my my (ashley beedle mix)
lali puna - micronomic (boom bip remix)
george michael - flawless go to the city (boxer mix)
plej - blue (a different shade of blue akufen remix)

and the aformentioned middleton mix of ilya's "bliss"

I'm afraid Romain Tranchart takes the cake on this for me though, for his remix of Sex and Sun by Aloud.

20. Dem Girls (Solid Groove Mix) - Mutiny featuring Sweetie Irie (Underwater) special mention for rentboy upthread

and i am starting to feel like i'm the only one NOT impressed by the Joakim mix of Tiga's single. I see it namechecked everywhere and it's just not doing much of anything for me. sounds like the stuff Marine Parade was putting out years ago, with Tiga's annoying vocal over it

what am i missing?

but great call on the morillo and audio bullys track. that whole "sampler" is fantastic

also, forgot to mention before:
braziu x plozian - berimbau (felix b remix)
and
roy davis jr - about now (solid groove remix) - though i'm not 100% sure that rdjr is from this year

It's called About Love and it's from January, so your lucky... ;-)

Bucci Bag - 'More Lemonade'
Armand Van Helden - 'My, My, My'
Lazyboy - 'Western Skies' (Radio Slave/Cagedbaby mix)

So far, me like.

Who wants to do Tiga?

The new version of jigga's "Sunshine" is WAY better than the original.

I Monster - Hey Mrs (Glamour Puss Mix)
Kings of Convenience - I'd Rather Dance With You (Cornelius Mix)

(though i know he has his hataz around here - in this very thread even)

now that i've got to hear! mainly because i cant for the life of me imagine what he/anyone could do with it to make it any better/different in a cool way. anyone heard this remix?

wondrous song but odd choice for a single, i'd have thought filthy/gorgeous was the obvious next choice.

In terms of remixes it's all about Freeform Five - Strangest Things (Freeform Reform Dub), Depeche Mode - Photographic (Rex the Dog Dubb Mix) and 2Raumwohnung - Spiel Mit (Alter Ego Mix) for me at the moment.

i have this idea in my head that electro-house has been big for about the same amount of time as French House had been when Basement Jaxx came along, and that we're seeing a similar inspired OTT maximalism at work in electro-house now. No single group or artist fits the Jaxx mode but that Freeform mix is well up there in terms of hysteria and expansiveness.

I've heard the Cagedbaby remix of "My My My" once. It sounded a bit like Superchumbo I thought.

There is none. You mean the Blackstrobe remix?

I find the clelbration of Freeform annoying because they only had one great moment before their recent decency, and that was the original and versions of 'Perspex Sex', natch

Don’t forget, Beau Mot Plage!

Kelis - Trick Me (Tiefschwarz Remix)

Is this available anywhere at all?

All these seconded, even though Erol Alkan doesn't do a whole lot with Rocker. The Headman mix of Franz Ferdinand is utterly OTM. One of the best of the year, makes the song so much better. The Cornelius mix isn't for dancing, but it's supremely executed.

Ronan already mentioned it, but the "Beau Mot Plage" mix is one of the best mixes ever! I imagine that certian ILM people might be annoyed at their sometime world-music/adult-house vibe (probably the same thing people don't like about Jazzanova).

There is none. You mean the Blackstrobe remix?"

Might be referring to the Tiefschwarz mix of "We Don't Play Guitars", which is pretty great.

with a bullet.
