Found this really fun version of Shaft by Malik Adouane off of Buddha Bar volume 1. It’s got all the same music as the Isaac Hayes version but this one is sung in Arabic. I love this. I love the remake in another language as it makes it alot more fun.
This (The Beast Within Mix) version of Madonna’s Justify My Love has got to be one of the oddest Madonna remixes. It’s very different than her typical remixes she hired like Junior Vasquez, Paul Oakenfold and Tracy Young that have done remixes for her in the past but this one is remixed by Lenny Kravitz and it’s really good – odd but good. It’s mostly a downtempo version with Middle Eastern instrumentation and Madonna speaking what seems to be verses from the Bible.
The original version of Justify My Love is off of the Immaculate Collection and this remix is not as good as the original but still pretty nice to check out and enjoy. The video to Justify My Love was banned from MTV but it’s definitely a work of art. Those of you who have not seen it check it out below.
Here’s a great version of Cities In Dust by Junkie XL. I’ve always a big real big fan of the original by Siouxsie & The Banshees and it’s refreshing to see this update – it’s quite big sounding and upbeat and energetic. I even like the voice of Lauren Rocket here on this. I don’t know much about Lauren Rocket but I do know that she is in an LA punk band. Whatever she’s in I think the JXL version works. This is from the single release from Junkie XL with several great remixes and this one the radio edit is a good one to start out with. There are some even more energetic remixes on here but this brings back memories of the 80s.
Since I’ve loved the Extended Version by Siouxsie I think I’ve always wanted a pumped up electrofied version of this classic 80s song so this single really works for me. What do you think?
I love JXL and I think he does a pretty damn good job at remixing oldies and updating classics with his signature sound. Check out A Little Conversation (JXL Remix) by Elvis. You’ll see what I mean.
