    I love The Girl and The Robot by Royksopp in it’s original form not remixed and I love the fact that Royksopp used Robyn on vocals I think the combo was perfect. The song has a huge remix package but gosh I hate to say and I will say all of the remixes SUCK! Except this a classical orchestral interpretation of the original The Girl And The Robot. I can’t figure out why I don’t like any of the remixes but I know I love the original and it’s so good maybe the remixes just don’t come close to the original or perfect on the original. Oh well, not all remixes are good. This interpretation I do like because it’s so out there from the original. Check it out and let me know what you think.

    Fun French version of Ladyhaweke’s Paris Is Burning. I love the original version of this song and really love the Cut Copy remix but here’s a fun version of Paris Is Burning sung in French by Ladyhawke. What do you think? Actually Phillipa “Pip” Brown does a pretty darn good version in French!

    Loving this new remix, Mercury Remix the Munk track No Milk that features Asia Argento. The original is somewhat a lo-fi electro mellow cut which is not my cup of tea but this remix rocks! The song is fun because Asia complains about what she likes and hates. The remix has less of the vocals with bits here and there thrown in. Check them out below.

    I figured since we are now in December a holiday themed post is in order!

    This Sleigh Ride, the Ferrante & Teicher popular Christmas track remixed by Ralph Myerz is one of my favorite tracks to play around the holidays. It’s fun, lively somewhat quirky and one of the standout cuts off of the fun Christmas CD called Merry Mixmas. Wait I take that back it’s not on the CD Merry Mixmas it’s a bonus download for that CD release. When I first bought Merry Mixmas this cut was not on there so I went and downloaded it and I wish they had actually included this track on the disc. Oh well stupid major label marketing crap. If you can get your hands on this (well you are able to get your hands on it here) then I would and you’ll know what I’m talking about. It’s so much FUN!

    Check out both below!

    This is complete 360 and I love it. Take a nu jazz track like Behind The Wind and give it the complete remix treatment and what you get this full on clubbing track like the Heavygrinder Remix. The original track by Jabberloop is an upbeat jazzin lounge cut but once you check out the two versions you’ll see what I’m talking about. The original Behind The Wind is from the Jabberloop album Infinite Works but the Heavygrinder Remix is off of OOParts album. Both cool and worth owning if you like your music remixed and or made different.

    A little about Jabberloop: They are a Japanese club jazz band who’s been releasing music since 2004. Check them out and you’ll dig their stuff.

    I love me some remakes and this one is awesome. It’s the classic downtempo/swing jazz classic by Mr. Scruff remade by the very cool and groovy The Quantic Soul Orchestra. I love it! It’s lively, danceable and has a very retro organ sound to it. Very similar to their sound which I truly love so this version rocks! Check them both out below at the link. This remake of Get A Move On by The Quantic Soul Orchestra is off of the Tru Thoughts Covers album that’s come out a couple of months back. If you like covers, remakes or remixes then this album is definitely worth it! It’s also on The Quantic Soul Orchestra album Pushin On.

    BTW The Quantic Soul Orchestra or Quantic is mostly Will Holland.

    This remix to the very dark Let No Man Jack by DJ Hell is pretty darn cool. It’s slow, very bassy and hard. Almost to the point of a dark sleazy industrial cut from the electro godfather of International Deejay Gigolos record label owner. DJ Hell’s new album Teufelswerk has been out for quite a while now but it’s still has not grown on me. So wanted to go back in time and pull a cut from his last album NY Muscle which is a pretty darn cool album if you haven’t heard it yet. Check out both versions of Let No Man Jack below.

    Ok this remix is actually really fun. I’m No Alone is a pretty cool track from Calvin Harri’s Ready For The Weekend album but the remix adds whole other beat layer to the track. It kind of reminds me of Chromeo as well. Very similar style. What do you think of the two versions?

    Destroy-Rock-And-Roll-Remix-Blog-Pump-Up-The-Jam-The-Album-Technotronic

    This song takes me back to the late 80!

    Pump Up The Jam the original version which came out in 1998 was a early Belgian house club classic that actually played on the radio. It became a worldwide smash hit going all the way to the top of the pop charts. This new version a remix by D.O.N.S. which is actually several years old now is a fresh take on the original hit by Technotronic. It’s got a more modern beat to it and it’s more in line with the sound of the clubs now. I like it but there’s something about the original that still takes me back to the days of acid house, new beat and an awesome era in club music. Both worth owning. Check them out below.

    The original Pump Up The Jam is off of the Technotronic album of the same name.

    Destroy-Rock-And-Roll-Remix-Blog-The-Presets-Photo

    Girl And The Sea by the Presets from their Beams albums is such a mellow beautiful midtempo vocal track compared to the rest of the tracks on the Beam album. It’s one of those tracks that totally stands out from everything else and it’s the track you keep listening to. So when a remix comes along like this remix by Cut Copy it doesn’t really compare unfortunately. It’s a pretty darn good remix but if I had to choose between both versions I’d pick the original. What do you think?

    The remix is from The Presets Re-Sets album which is worth owning. Their are remixes by some awesome names like ascii.disko, Simian Mobile Disco, Digitalism and The Juan Maclean. So I highly recommend both the album Beams and Re-Sets for any electro, synth pop/dance lover. Listen to the tracks takes me back to when I was 15 years old in 1986! What a fun time!

    One listen to Slave from Magnum 38 and you’ll immediately think Booty Bass shaking piece of music it is. Slave is from a tribute album to Grace Jones along with several other but I found Slave to be the most approachable followed right up with Suffer. I don’t really recognize any of the tracks on the ep except for this track Slave. It’s quite repetitive but in a good way with lots of deep, heavy bass which is meant to be heard in a loud, dark club. Some of the music is sort of on the leftfield with lots of nasty attitude. Those of you Grace Jones fans might not really dig it but hey if you have an open mind you might. Check it out it will grow on you. And you’ll really hear the sounds of Berlin blasting at you as that’s where Magnum 38’s from! Makes sense including the album artwork!

    Check them out below both the original Slave to the Rhythm and Slave by Magnum 38. It’s a perfect track for DestroyRockAndRoll.com! Be sure to catch videos to both Slave To The Rhythm by Grace Jones and Und? by Magnum 38 below as well.

    Destroy-Rock-And-Roll-Remix-Blog-Taana-Gardner-West-End-Records2

    I love Heartbeat in it’s original form by Taana Gardner but this remix from 2001 is pretty darn cool. It’s much more sped up so it’s not as mellow as the original is so it’s more geared for the club floor. Heartbeat was originally released in 1981 off of West End Records and it’s still pretty darn cool. It’s so laidback and chill but very early 1980s disco. Worth it if you disco lovers have never heard of. Heartbeat and Work That Body are the only hits Taana Gardner is known so she had a small career in disco music. Taana Gardner has worked with some very legendary folks from that era including Larry Levan and Dr. Buzzard’s Original Savannah Band.

    This remix of Heartbeat is part of a disc called Dance For Life West End Records Celebrates the 10th Anniversary of LIFEbeat. It’s def worth owning as there are new remixes of old West End Records classics including an Angel Moraes remix of Work That Body by Taana Gardner. Check it out!

    All the colors are changing … Autumn is here! That’s taken from this awesome track by Koop, the electro jazz duo from Sweden. The original Relaxin’ At Club Fusion is nice downtempo moody jazz electronic perfection but this Dorfmeister Vs. Madrid De Los Austrias remix is pretty darn cool. They’ve sped things way up here and changed the name to Relaxin’ At Club F*****n. Not sure why but oh well the music is pretty darn cool! This remix along with many other wonderful remixes comes from their Walz For Koop: Alternative Takes CD which is the perfect compliment for their Waltz For Koop disc. But are highly recommended for anyone into Jazz with the electronic touch. I love it! The entire run list with the remixes below and to preview Relaxin’ At Club Fusion 2 versions just below that.

    I love it when musicians take a song that’s so well known from an era with such a specific genre and put a new spin on it. This is the fact with Dalminjo Featuring Anja Oyen Vister covering The Smiths classic There Is A Light That Never Goes Out. Dalminjo is known for jazzy housed up club and electronic music and he’s remade this very well known Smiths track and made it housed up clubby but nothing too obnoxious with the beats sort of laidback but you know midtempo. This is the remixed version below as the original version is pretty mellow minimal. Check it out here with the original Smiths version. I like it and I do like it that he’s used Anja Oyen Vister to record the vocals so hearing this with female vocals is a pretty cool thing. What do you think?

    Even though I’m digging the original version of In For The Kill I absolutely love this remix. The Lifelike Remix. They’ve kept all the vocals which I perfect so it’s like an extended dance remix with vocals. The original and the Lifelike Remix of In For The Kill are completely different and I first discovered La Roux by hearing the Lifelike Remix which I downloaded from Emusic from a Kitsune compilation. One of my favorite labels from France of all places release some of the best music out there. Worth checking out if you are at all into anything electro, synth pop/punk etc.

    What do you think of these two versions of In For The Kille? Which one is your favorite?

    The Flirts, the one hit wonder all girl disco 80s group produced by Bobby O that’s only known for their one hit Jukebox do have other songs. One being Passion. It’s quite a cool track dating back to the early 80s. Felix Da House perfecly sampled the bassline from Passion by The Flirts in his very popular hit Silver Screen Shower Scene from his amazing album Kittenz And Thee Glitz. The sample works perfectly here and compliments Miss Kittin’s quirky accented singing.

    Check them both out below, you’ll realize once you hear The Flirts and you’ll hear where the sample for Silver Screen Shower Scene comes from. Both very cool!

    Once again a cool band like The Glimmers have to change their name because of some old fogies like Mick Jagger and Keith Richards used to use The Glimmer Twins. Whatever!!! I like the Glimmers much better anyway. And this track Galactic Prism is rocking! Love, absolutely love this track since it has a very 80s feel to it but it’s totally now. It’s from The Glimmers album The Glimmers Are Gee Gee Fazzi which is aslo awesome and this track is one of the standout cuts but there’s more more groovy goodies on there! With elements of disco, electro, punk, Latin and their quirky style of production this makes for an awesome release. Enjoy and support The Glimmers and buy their album The Glimmers Are Gee Gee Fazzi! You wont be disappointed!

    Disco will never go out of style! It’s here to stay forever and ever. That’s why musicians keep sampling famous tracks over and over again from the disco era! So Richard Dorfmeister (aka Kruder & Dorfmeister) and Madrid De Los Austrias have done an excellent sampling job on their track Boogie No More sampling the classic disco song Boogie Oogie Oogie by A Taste Of Honey. It’s perfect here and the Reverso 68 Remix is just awesome! The single also includes a Kraak & Smaak remix which is also pretty darn good. The Kraak & Smaak remix is a little more on the big beat side which makes both remixes completely different.

    Check them both out below and while you are at it enjoy this live performance of A Taste Of Honey on youtube.

    Hey Big Spender! This remix is off of Shirley Bassey’s remix greatest hits CD that came out in 2000. It’s a great collection of her greatest hits remixed. I think they got the idea after she did that song History Repeating with The Propellerheads which actually became a pretty big hit and was licensed to numerous films and commercials then you know the rest. So this remixed hits set is pretty awesome and I still listen to it now and then! It’s got a who’s who of guest remixers and the remixes are top notch with Big Spender being the standout remix. It’s fast very lively and energetic. Pretty much like a Fatboy Slim track circa 1998 but slightly better. I don’t know much about Wild Oscar … I looked them up on Discogs but they don’t have much credit. Either way they have done a pretty darn good remix. Check both original and remixed version of Big Spender out below.

    The entire track list is below

    I think Mylo’s album Destroy Rock And Roll is genius! I’m mean come on? I’ve got a whole website named after it right? I think it’s one of the best albums of the 2000’s. It’s perfection and this track In My Arms is a great example of a sampling job done perfectly. Mylo has taken the classic Bette Davis Eyes by Kim Carnes and made his own song In My Arms. I’m sure most of you have heard it but did you know it contained a sample of the high energy pop song Bette Davis Eyes by Kim Carnes? Well now you do. Check them out both below and you’ll see.

    Bette Davis Eyes is off of Kim’s Mistaken Identity album from 1981. Almost 30 years old now. I was only 10! Enjoy.

    Ok looking at these pictures of Miike Snow I think gosh they looked pretty freaking weird but one listen to their song Black And Blue make you wonder is it the same guys? Well either way I’ve gotten past their looks and gone straight to their music and this remix of Black And Blue by Tiga is pretty darn cool. More electro synthy rather than pop electro like the original is. What do you think? You like. Worth a download and listen for sure. Oh and the video is worth checkign out too!

    Well The Solar Twins that little known one hit wonder band from England that split up just after releasing one album did have a good enough song to have a post on DestroyRockAndRoll.com. Although I have to say this version of Rock The Casbah is pretty darn good. Don’t get me wrong The Clash are awesome at that song but this Solar Twins is a great electronica interpretation. Released back in 1999 on Madonna’s Maverick Records Solar Twins self titled album is chock full of electronica, downtempo, drum and bass and ambient styles and this Rock The Casbah and Swayambhu are the standout cuts on the album. I guess it was good enough to end up on the Brokedown Palace soundtrack that was also released also in 1999. The rest of the album is just mediocre.

    Check out both versions of Rock The Casbah below.

    This is a vinyl promo release of the Dirty South Remix for Just Can’t Get Enough – the Depeche Mode synth pop classic that kick started their 25+ year career in the music biz. It’s a pretty darn good remix by Dirty South the Australian DJ/musician that’s known for his electro house sound. The remix keeps the original famous synth sound but it takes a while to actually hear something borrowed from the original Depeche Mode track but I still dig it. It’s very fresh and now … well from 3 years ago part of the Depeche Mode greatest hits CD that came out then with their single Martyr – their 45th single. It’s always fun to see the video to Just Can’t Get Enough as well. Check it out below.

    Check both the original and the remix below.
