Donna Summer - I Feel Love (Patrick Cowley mega mix, 1982)
San Francisco DJ Cowley, who died of AIDS later that year, stretched Summer's Hi-NRG anthem over a dizzying 20 minutes.
New Order - Bizarre Love Triangle (Shep Pettibone Extended Dance mix, 1986)
The go-to guy of the 1980s remix scene (Madonna, Pet Shop Boys, Run-DMC) gave New Order one of their biggest US hits.
Eric B & Rakim - Paid in Full (Coldcut's Seven Minutes of Madness mix, 1988)
A benchmark remix, incorporating both Israeli singer Ofra Haza and 1950s British radio star Geoffrey Sumner. Only Eric B was unimpressed, deeming it "girly disco music".
My Bloody Valentine - Soon (Andrew Weatherall mix, 1990)
One of Weatherall's earliest and best remixes wrapped My Bloody Valentine's psychedelic slur around a monolithic hip-hop beat.
Mory Kanté - Yeke Yeke (Hardfloor mix, 1994)
West African pop meets Düsseldorf acid house. Oddly enough, Nigella Lawson chose it as a Desert Island Disc.
Depeche Mode - Useless (The Kruder + Dorfmeister Session, 1997)
One of Martin Gore's favourite Depeche Mode remixes, this nine-minute head-nodder became a chillout favourite.
Cornershop - Brimful of Asha (Norman Cook Full Length remix, 1998)
Under its own steam, Brimful of Asha reached number 60. After the Fatboy Slim treatment it topped the charts, briefly making Cornershop Britain's grumpiest pop stars.
Blur - Tender (Cornelius remix, 1999)
Adding a spine-shivering guitar part and a flurry of drum'n'bass, Japanese eccentric Cornelius made the gospel-rock album version sound plodding.
Tori Amos - Professional Widow (Armand's Star Trunk Funkin' mix, 1996)
Van Helden foregrounded his own monstrous bassline, while reducing Amos's contribution to snippets of breathy innuendo ("It's gotta be big!").
Azzido da Bass - Dooms Night (Timo Maas remix, 2000)
Maas's eardrum-scouring reinvention was so effective that eventually the remix got remixed while the original was forgotten.

verder erg fijn die Van Helden rmx van Daft Punk's 'Da Funk'Grooveriders Jeep Beat rmx van Reprazent 'Share The Fall' (eerst denk je "goh net zo duf als het origineel en dan opeens is daar de bas van elastiek"). Mijn favoriete rmx van de afgelopen jaren is denk ik de Dima neo-romantic rmx van Bolz Bolz - 'Take A Walk', heel anders dan het niet misselijke origineel overigens. Maar goed je kan aan de gang blijven. :)
Die Crowley is inderdaad geniaal omdat hij wat hele vreemde dingen toevoegd aan een toch al niet misselijke origineel.

En toevoeging op de eerder genoemde remixen: Hype's 'When I Raise My Trigger Finger'-remix van "Ready Or Not" is natuurlijk inmiddels ook een klassieker.

Wat ik wel zou willen weten is: wat vond Bobby Byrd van I know you got soul in de Eric B-versie? Dat is nog eens girly disco in vergelijking met het origineel.
― centralscrutinizer, Friday, 22 October 2004 12:44 (twenty-one years ago)
Inzake Bobby Byrd: Kijk, DAT is nou nog eens de spijker op z'n kop
