my vote goes out to ewan pearson's 'friends with girls' mix
of 'i need your love' by the rapture.
there's a new remix of 'lithium' by somebody called 'dirty funker'
that's meant 2 b ace too.

and yourselves?

mya ft. chingy - fallen (zone 4 remix)

m., Wednesday, 24 March 2004 15:52 (twenty-one years ago)

Those Dave Clarke mixes are really good.

Matthew Perpetua (Matthew Perpetua), Wednesday, 24 March 2004 15:58 (twenty-one years ago)

The black strobe remix of ghostrack is ace!

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.

Ronan (Ronan), Wednesday, 24 March 2004 23:43 (twenty-one years ago)

I really want to hear the Tfieschwarz mix of Spektrum. And I want to hear Spektrum generally too!

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

Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Wednesday, 24 March 2004 23:48 (twenty-one years ago)

It's a great list alright, but what exactly is so great about that Rennie Pilgrem remix?

Siegbran (eofor), Wednesday, 24 March 2004 23:49 (twenty-one years ago)

6) memphis bleek - round here remix ft. bg, bun b, lil flip, eightball, young buck, gangsta boo, pastor troy, trick daddy, and t.i.

2) kay slay/three six - who gives a fuck where you're from remix ft. cam'ron, fat joe, remy martin, sauce money, jim jones
1) t.i. - rubberband man remix ft. twista, mack 10, trick daddy

William Wiggins, Thursday, 25 March 2004 00:00 (twenty-one years ago)

what exactly is so great about that Rennie Pilgrem remix?

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

JoB (JoB), Thursday, 25 March 2004 10:45 (twenty-one years ago)

really want to hear the Tiefschwarz mix of Spektrum. And I want to hear Spektrum generally too!

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.

JoB (JoB), Thursday, 25 March 2004 10:49 (twenty-one years ago)

I think the album version of "Kinda New" is better, although im a fan of Tiefschwarz too. Original version reminds me of Prince, with this minimal funk sound.

Andreas, Thursday, 25 March 2004 12:42 (twenty-one years ago)

1) t.i. - rubberband man remix ft. twista, mack 10, trick daddy

s1ocki (slutsky), Thursday, 25 March 2004 17:21 (twenty-one years ago)

dude, villalobos mixing hell? this i gotta hear....

philip sherburne (philip sherburne), Thursday, 25 March 2004 19:34 (twenty-one years ago)

It's a double 12" with Peter Kruder and Tiefschwarz also in on the action, the latter obviously on fire this year.

JoB (JoB), Friday, 26 March 2004 00:31 (twenty-one years ago)

villalobos mixing hell? this i gotta hear...

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

JoB (JoB), Friday, 26 March 2004 00:35 (twenty-one years ago)

It makes it a little more acceptable for people like me to admit they're really into...

The same logic can be applied to...

Superstar (Copenhaniacs Remix) - Jamelia (Parlophone)

JoB (JoB), Friday, 26 March 2004 00:37 (twenty-one years ago)

3) usher, luda, lil jon, nivea, bonecrusher, pastor troy - yeah remix

you heard the one with Freeway? He kills it.

Aloud-Sex and Sun (Thin White Duke Remix)

Ronan (Ronan), Wednesday, 28 April 2004 17:55 (twenty-one years ago)

Here's 10 that are doing it for me at the moment:

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)

rentboy (rentboy), Wednesday, 28 April 2004 18:12 (twenty-one years ago)

Ah man Tom Neville fucking pisses me off!

Ronan (Ronan), Wednesday, 28 April 2004 18:20 (twenty-one years ago)

Am I the only one who thinks he just slept with someone in a high place and hence all this hype. That "Just Fuck" track is one of the shittest cheesiest house records I've heard, it along with the original "More Lemonade" by Bucci Bag are just two absolute clunkers!

Ronan (Ronan), Wednesday, 28 April 2004 18:21 (twenty-one years ago)

(I am interested to hear some of your other recommendations though)

Ronan (Ronan), Wednesday, 28 April 2004 18:23 (twenty-one years ago)

ulrich schnauss remixed sia? oo ah.

mark p (Mark P), Wednesday, 28 April 2004 18:24 (twenty-one years ago)

Avril - Be Yourself (Broadcast Remix)

!!!!!!!!!!!! NEED

stevem (blueski), Wednesday, 28 April 2004 18:24 (twenty-one years ago)

Agoria 'Stereolove (Me & Timy mix)' for me - as i said elsewhere i think it's a little bit bigger and better than the v similar remix of Senor Coconut's 'Smooth Operator' tho that is good for the vocal elements

stevem (blueski), Wednesday, 28 April 2004 18:25 (twenty-one years ago)

yeah i don't care much for tom neville either, but that mix... there's just something about it. the original is good, but a little on the nu-rock side for me. the remix makes it just the right level of oompa to it.

rentboy (rentboy), Wednesday, 28 April 2004 18:31 (twenty-one years ago)

How's the Warren Clarke remix of Rockin' Music. I wasn't 100 percent on the original, good but amazed it charted in the top 40.

Ronan (Ronan), Wednesday, 28 April 2004 18:46 (twenty-one years ago)

Top 5 at the moment:

1.Mousse T - Is It Cos I'm Cool (Shakedown Remix)
2.Hertz - Recreate (Montana Remix)
3.303F - Shine (Mhonolink Remix)
4.Funk D'Void - All That Matters (Deetron Medellin Beats Remix)
5.Dave Clarke ft Chicks On Speed - What Was Her Name (LFO Remix)

Siegbran (eofor), Wednesday, 28 April 2004 19:09 (twenty-one years ago)

The Warren Clarke mix is good. It strips the track down to more of its funky elements and removes the thin layer of fromage that was previously gracing the top of the original.

rentboy (rentboy), Wednesday, 28 April 2004 19:54 (twenty-one years ago)

The Freeform Five's remix of Muscle Cars by Mylo is excellent actually.

Ronan (Ronan), Wednesday, 28 April 2004 19:57 (twenty-one years ago)

That Mousse T/Shakedown thing sounds good. When those two acts remix eachother the results are always class.

Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Wednesday, 28 April 2004 21:30 (twenty-one years ago)

Ten more since my March 24 post:

1. The Red Dress (Tiefschwarz Remix) - Phonique featuring die Elfen (Dessous)
2. Flamboyant (DJ Hell Remix) - Pet Shop Boys (Parlophone)
3. Mickey Mouse Muthaf*/@#s!! (Tiefschwarz Remix) - Mocky (Fine)
4. Trick Me (Adam Freeland Remix) - Kelis (Virgin)
5. The Ride (Tim Wright Dancefloor Mix) - Tim Wright (Novamute)
6. Hot on the Heels of Love (Carl Craig Re-Version) - Throbbing Gristle (Novamute)

JoB (JoB), Wednesday, 28 April 2004 21:31 (twenty-one years ago)

i have a feeling that c swing betas remix is going to make me like the album a lot less

strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Wednesday, 28 April 2004 21:32 (twenty-one years ago)

My favourite so far by the way is probably the Tiefschwarz mix of Spektrum, which is as great as I expected.

Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Wednesday, 28 April 2004 21:32 (twenty-one years ago)

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)

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

JoB (JoB), Wednesday, 28 April 2004 21:33 (twenty-one years ago)

yeah man, why didn't betas get c-swing on the mix again? that assessment remix just makes the track so much more sophisticated - betas should be as sophisticated as possible!

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?

nebbesh (nebbesh), Wednesday, 28 April 2004 22:12 (twenty-one years ago)

Anyone heard the Juan Maclean mix of the new Air single?

Ronan (Ronan), Thursday, 29 April 2004 09:58 (twenty-one years ago)

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

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

rentboy (rentboy), Thursday, 29 April 2004 10:08 (twenty-one years ago)

argh been bbs'ing too long LOL

rentboy (rentboy), Thursday, 29 April 2004 10:09 (twenty-one years ago)

another shout out to the four tet/sia remix. on the 10" there is a drop dead weird/fantastic remix by the moshi moshi hot chip gang that is just freaky ..
too fine by half.

mark e (mark e), Thursday, 29 April 2004 11:44 (twenty-one years ago)

avril - be yourself - broadcast remix

myke boomnoise (myke boomnoise), Friday, 30 April 2004 08:58 (twenty-one years ago)

Know if he's done other mixes for other people recently?

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)

JoB (JoB), Friday, 30 April 2004 13:53 (twenty-one years ago)

sweet, thanks.

rentboy (rentboy), Friday, 30 April 2004 14:08 (twenty-one years ago)

Anyone heard the Juan Maclean mix of the new Air single?

you can hear it on air's website!

s1ocki (slutsky), Friday, 30 April 2004 15:12 (twenty-one years ago)

God that Warren Clarke Dub of Rocking Music really is conclusive proof of how subtle the difference between a track working and not working is. Simple but ace.

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

Ronan (Ronan), Thursday, 6 May 2004 14:08 (twenty-one years ago)

two weeks pass...
eads up.

piscesboy, Friday, 21 May 2004 09:18 (twenty-one years ago)

i like the isolee remix of recloose 'cardiology'

nebbesh (nebbesh), Friday, 21 May 2004 09:57 (twenty-one years ago)

and the cyantific remix of black sun

nebbesh (nebbesh), Friday, 21 May 2004 09:57 (twenty-one years ago)

That's fair to say. It's his weakest effort really. Last year's mix of 'Bucci Bag' is good, but his best thing yet is the debut single. Though, that Man Called Adam one with Justin Robertson and the Mula mix deserve to be big.

B.A.R.M.S. (Barima), Friday, 8 October 2004 16:31 (twenty-one years ago)

"Sounding like Superchumbo" isn't exactly a criticism though! If I'd disliked it I would have said "Sounds like current Subliminal Records stuff".

Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Friday, 8 October 2004 16:34 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh. I do like it (and some Superchumbo), but as I said, he's done better. I'm no longer so sure about the Lazyboy mix he did with Radio Slave, simply because it's kinda slight. He tries on a lot of different hats. The latests, Bushes, is called the 'Cuban Heels Mix' and is a soft yet moving rhumba.

B.A.R.M.S. (Barima), Friday, 8 October 2004 16:38 (twenty-one years ago)

love that Tiefschwarz mix of Chicks On Speed way upthread btw

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?

JoB (JoB), Monday, 11 October 2004 20:21 (twenty-one years ago)

their Beau Mot Plage mix was good yeah! I used to play it first thing in the morning in work.

Ronan (Ronan), Monday, 11 October 2004 20:23 (twenty-one years ago)

Franz Ferdinand - Dark Of The Matinee (Headman Vocal Remix)
Alter Ego - Rocker (Erol Alkan Deaf Disco Re-edit)
Kings of Convenience - I'd Rather Dance With You (Cornelius Mix)

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.

JoB (JoB), Monday, 11 October 2004 20:23 (twenty-one years ago)

is that the same as the "Headman Rave Mix" no? a vocal version of the same?

Ronan (Ronan), Monday, 11 October 2004 20:26 (twenty-one years ago)

There's a "rave dub" and a "vocal remix". I prefer the vocal mix, and not just because of the vocals.

JoB (JoB), Monday, 11 October 2004 20:42 (twenty-one years ago)

i.e. it's not a vocal version version of the same.

JoB (JoB), Monday, 11 October 2004 20:43 (twenty-one years ago)

JoB (JoB), Monday, 11 October 2004 20:43 (twenty-one years ago)

the Rex the Dog remix of 'Girls'!

manuel (manuel), Monday, 11 October 2004 21:02 (twenty-one years ago)

I know nothing about them apart from this and "Perspex Sex"

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).

Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Monday, 11 October 2004 21:07 (twenty-one years ago)

"love that Tiefschwarz mix of Chicks On Speed way upthread btw

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.

Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Tuesday, 12 October 2004 00:29 (twenty-one years ago)

I think I need pretty much anything JoB's recommended or seconded (even the Cornelius. I'm losing my edge). I can send anyone the Man Called Adam/Justin R/Cagedbaby jam now.

ooohh

s1ocki (slutsky), Thursday, 4 November 2004 18:47 (twenty-one years ago)

today it's all about the Mylo mix of Kylie's new one for me

Kylie - I Believe In You (Mylo Vocal)

so fucking great

rentboy (rentboy), Thursday, 4 November 2004 19:00 (twenty-one years ago)

also,

Arman Van Helden - My, My, My (Deekline * Wizard mix)

i'll have a look when i get home and see what else

rentboy (rentboy), Thursday, 4 November 2004 19:32 (twenty-one years ago)

oh my goodness, look at the abundant typos in that last one

rentboy (rentboy), Thursday, 4 November 2004 19:36 (twenty-one years ago)

has anyone heard the lfo remix of me and guiliani?

Full on techno with shouting, I like it.

JoB (JoB), Thursday, 4 November 2004 19:48 (twenty-one years ago)

diplo remixed galang? yummmm

mark p (Mark P), Thursday, 4 November 2004 20:30 (twenty-one years ago)

Typically, the Cornelius/Kings of Convenience clash is in my top 10, way better than the 'Drop' mix Kings did 2 years ago. Keigo's reciprocal remix scheme is a beautiful idea, but it also means he shows up the remixers something fierce when he remixes them (thank God he didn't ask the Manics or Moby to return the favours).

B.A.R.M.S. (Barima), Friday, 5 November 2004 10:35 (twenty-one years ago)

jackson air remix! cant be as pretty as it is in my head

m. (mitchlnw), Friday, 5 November 2004 11:19 (twenty-one years ago)

It wasn't outside of my head...

JoB (JoB), Friday, 5 November 2004 14:07 (twenty-one years ago)

Some more:

1. Eeeeaaooww (Stanton Warriors Remix) - Freeform Five featuring Bounty Killer (Ultimate Dilemma)
2. Drop the Pressure (Felix da Houscat Remix) - Mylo (Breastfed)
3. This Fffire (Trevor Jackson Remix) - Franz Ferdinand (Domino)
4. Keepintime Theme (Original Vocal Mix: Charlie Dark) - Keepintime (Mochilla)
5. Roy’s Theme (Extended Mix: DJ Shadow) - Keepintime (Mochilla)
6. Miss U Less, See U More (Switch’s Chops) - Faithless (Cheeky)
7. FR:01:V2 (Reinterpretation by Akufen) - Concept 1 (Minus)

9. Snark (Edit by Ricardo Villalobos) - Plastikman (Minus)
10. My Prerogative (X-Press 2 Dub) - Britney Spears (Jive)

JoB (JoB), Friday, 5 November 2004 14:36 (twenty-one years ago)

i wanted to like that Felix mix of "Drop the Pressure" but it's just not very good or interesting IMHO
but great call on the Switch mix of Faithless

rentboy (rentboy), Friday, 5 November 2004 14:43 (twenty-one years ago)

What's the verdict on the 'Enjoy The Silence' mixes? I seem to remember a certain Mr Mannion offering them to me and subsequently forgetting.

B.A.R.M.S. (Barima), Friday, 5 November 2004 14:48 (twenty-one years ago)

the !!!/lfo thing is good.

mark p (Mark P), Friday, 5 November 2004 14:54 (twenty-one years ago)

i'm also surprised that no good remixes of 'drop it like its hot' have surfaced.

mark p (Mark P), Friday, 5 November 2004 14:55 (twenty-one years ago)

one stray terribly from the original.
i like the extra funk to the Timo Maas mix, the Ewan Pearson one is nice but kinda unremarkable
and the Shinoda one is atrociously bad

rentboy (rentboy), Friday, 5 November 2004 14:58 (twenty-one years ago)

that also should say *none stray terribly from the original

rentboy (rentboy), Friday, 5 November 2004 15:01 (twenty-one years ago)

Thanks. Richard X's mix?

B.A.R.M.S. (Barima), Friday, 5 November 2004 15:19 (twenty-one years ago)

FR:01:V2 (Reinterpretation by Akufen) - Concept 1 (Minus)

this looks stolen from the "fave IDM tracks" thread

m. (mitchlnw), Friday, 5 November 2004 15:27 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeah pretty much all the Enjoy the Silence remixes are low-key except for the bad Shinoda one. But I oddly adore the Ulrich Schnauss remix of "Little 15".

Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Saturday, 6 November 2004 15:56 (twenty-one years ago)

the richard x remix of "enjoy the silence" is my pick, but the timo maas one is pretty damn great too.

tricky (disco stu), Saturday, 6 November 2004 16:33 (twenty-one years ago)

jacques lu cont's remix of the new Gwen Stefani tore up the club on Thursday.

Ronan (Ronan), Saturday, 6 November 2004 16:34 (twenty-one years ago)

i think a lu cont remix comp is in order. he's done so many good ones...

tricky (disco stu), Saturday, 6 November 2004 16:37 (twenty-one years ago)

and his choice in cardigans is pretty good too.

http://www.bodytonicmusic.com/backlashpics/jacques_01.11.04/IMGP0792.jpg

Ronan (Ronan), Saturday, 6 November 2004 16:46 (twenty-one years ago)

(btw, the richard x remix of ETS is pretty much perfect in my estimation. he manages to keep the sweetness of the original intact, but also makes it good and dirty/sleazy like he has a penchant for doing. the timo maas mix would probably destroy in the right progressive house set, but it's got this wicked electro-house bent to it)

haha ronan, that cardigan is classy

Yeah Richard X the pick of the lot probably. I was disappointed though that no-one took the chance to capitalise on schaffel and update "Personal Jesus" - or were the Francois K versions considered to be unfuckwittable?

I kinda thought that too.


however, what of the cardigan

the lfo remix of "me & guiliani" is great (surprisingly - I thought the guy's voice stripped of context would be horrible!), as is the jacques lu cont remix of gwen stefani's "what you waiting for" (tore up, um, my flat's living room this evening); currently d/l-ing the junior senior salvaging of that new le tigre track.

++
michael dracula - "destroy yourself (twitch's optimo mix)" (is this ever gonna get officially released?)
the glass - "hear the music (mylo remix)" (reminds me of cut copy, ha)

erm, much as i hate to admit it, the jacknife lee 10" mix of "vertigo" really had me rocking out on the way to work this morning
the squelchy bits are outstanding
