Superpitcher (and associated) Remix Poll

Perfect Lovers, Evan And Chan, I Walk, The Difference it Makes, Je Regrette Everything, Don't Save Us From The Flames, Mango, and Along The Wire are all total classics, while I also very very much enjoy his say I'm your no 1 mix too.

This is gonna be a hard vote, though I suspect evan and chan will most likely take this.

the mfa, dj hell or lawrence. voted for the mfa as i think it's got the best chance of beating dntel.

one of the finest moments in my life was hearing Tobias Thomas drop 'The Difference It Makes' at Maria in Berlin.

took the national express all the way down from liverpool to london just for one night to see michael mayer and 'the difference it makes' was his first tune. was the first time i'd ever heard it. such a good night. also played 'moon in dallas' and 'killer'. the trip home was the longest 6 hours in my life.

this poll is so difficult.

difference it makes was amazing personally cos i feel like among the little scene in dublin i was the first one to play it and it eventually became so big at our night. but i used to love lashing out the dj hell remix too.

the along the wire one has always stayed with me too, more in a way where i listen to it at home at night a lot, to this day, it's just so... haunting.

gotta be honest tho, i genuinely fucking LOVE every track on here, apart from one or two supermayers (plus i think we're missing some superpitcher, unless i'm wrong.)

"Don't Save Us From the Flames" is the M83 remix. Maybe the Supermayer mix of Rufus Wainwright's "Tiergarten" also belongs in here?

This is very easy. "The Difference It Makes"

I think it almost has to be the Dj Hell mix for me but I can't wait to go through these religiously tomorrow.

Supermayer remix of Gotye also missing.

In descending order of greatness:

The Difference It Makes
Je Regrette Everything
Perfect Lovers
The Dream of Evan and Chan
Along The Wire
Heart's a Mess
Irridium
I Walk
Krokus
See What I've Become

MFA for sure.

Everyone should listen to the Gainsbourg remix, I've always thought it was one of the best(and most underrated) things he's done.

Oh shit, I knew something would be missing. I just copied and pasted from the remix credits on discogs.

the along the wire remix is such a tank full of bubbles, i will love it forever.

I made a moderator request on the namesake forum to include the missing supermayer remixes. I feel the goyte one could probably pick up a few.

fairly sure mods can't edit polls, alas

so much awesomeness - sort of leaning towards Perfect Lovers at the moment, but MFA, Je Regrette, Along the Wire could all make it. And it's not here but I love that campy, goth-as-fuck Supermayer remix of Tiergarten too.

it was honestly a struggle not to include a whole bunch of Superpitcher remixes in the electronic musix poll, but I think I cut it down to three or four in the end.

*include vote for

So many good ones, but - Krokus.

so many great songs here, think I have to vote for M83- Don't Save Us From The Flames (Superpitcher Remix) The best song U2 never thought of.

I voted for Iridium in the end, there's something patient let inevitable about the way he builds up to the guitar solo.

Heresy.

Hi Freaks Hi btw

So many melancholic masterpieces in this list. The only producer/remixer I continue to collect on vinyl. Have most of them but didn't even know about the most recent Tocotronic remix with Tobias Thomas! Always a killer combination - their arrangements have a way of complementing the weary/melancholic tone of von Lowtzow's vocals that somehow plugs straight into my nervous system.

Having to pick a favourite from "Perfect Lovers" (Unperfect Love Mix), "Krokus" (Superpitcher Remix), "(This Is) The Dream Of Evan And Chan" (Superpitcher Kompakt Remix), "Hi Freaks" (Superpitcher´s Beautiful Freaks Mix), "Nothing Is Written (Accidently Overdosed Remix By Tobias Thomas And Superpitcher)", "Wintermute" (Superpitcher Mix),"The Difference It Makes" (Superpitcher Mix), "Je Regrette Everything" (Superpitcher Remix), "Don't Save Us From The Flames" (Superpitcher Remix), "Along The Wire" (Superpitcher Mix), "The Operation" (Superpitcher Remix) is going to be hard. Sweet, but hard.

As mentioned earlier, some Supermayers are missing (LoSoul's "You Know", Gotye's "Heart's a Mess" and Rufus' "Tiergarten" esp., but also Geiger's "Good Evening", Ananda's "Doppelwhipper", Hot Chip's "One Pure Thought") but I'm happy with the focus on Aksel :)

i looked this up cos i thought it was superpitcher, but i was mistaken. still... this this is an absolute monster.

when i saw superpitcher at berghain in berlin last year, he slipped in lots of his own remixes (cheeky!) in between lots of non-obvious stuff, and ended with a flourish at 6 AM with his remix of tocotronic's 'pure vernunft darf niemals siegen'--it was kind of awesome to see hundreds of hardcore muscle marys totally freaking out to tocotronic in the berghain dancefloor, and flexing their huge arm muscles in time with the beat! meanwhile superpitcher was headbanging during that bit where the track spirals out of control and it just goes 'darf niemals siegen,' over and over again. i couldn't stop laughing. i wish i had taken a photo of this (sadly taking photos is verboten in berghain/panoramabar!)

so great

haha fantastic. the mental image is probably much better than any photo would have been :-)

kinda wish he'd do a mix again

"You Don't Need A Weatherman"

Why the hell did I set the deadline so late? I want results NOW!

Also, there was a point around 4-5 years ago when I looked exactly like Superpitcher. Sadly my face seems to have grown out of it.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

The Difference It Makes (Original Mix) >>> The Difference It Makes (Superpitcher Mix)

No love for Hi Freaks. Sadfreaks.

The Difference It Makes (Original Mix) >>> The Difference It Makes (Superpitcher Mix)

massively disagree.

and I like The MFA

can't believe the hell remix got no votes, but at the same time I didn't vote for it. (can't remember what i voted for)

I forgot to vote
That Hell remix is insane, when that bass comes in I'm always in awe

New Superpitcher is forthcoming! First 12" is out and it's gorgeous.

Second 12'' is out, and it's pretty great as well. But this is gonna be a loooong album.
