    This is an awesome downtempo groove version of the Donald Byrd jazz classic Think Twice by Ralph Myerz & The Jack Herren Band. Whereas the Donald Byrd version is quite 70s smooth and funky sounding the Ralph Myerz & The Jack Herren band version is quite cool and laidback and has the after the clubbing vibe to it. It features the vocals of Christine Sandtorv. Check them both out below.

    The Ralph Myerz version is off of A Special Album which came out in 2003. The Donald Byrd version is off of his Stepping Into Tomorrow album.

    This is a pretty lively rocking version of the Donna Summer disco classic I Feel Love performed by Blue Man Group and beautifully sung by Venus Hum. It’s been given the trademark Blue Man Group tribal drum feel here so it’s really fast and energetic. I still love the Donna Summer version produced by Giorgio Moroder bu this version is perfect as a remake. It’s the complete opposite of disco. Check them both out below and enjoy the video as well. It’s off of the Blue Man Group’s The Complex CD.

  4. Tonite by M.A.N.D.Y.


     Powered by Max Banner Ads 

    The Dominatrix Sleeps Tonight is one of those awesome 80s tracks that I used to listen to on Live 105 back when it was COOL! Steve Masters used to play it in his evening or lunchtime sets along with other similar track. So it’s definitely an underground classic. When I first heard Tonite by M.A.N.D.Y. I immediately fell in love with it. I knew there was a sample in it but I couldn’t figure out what it was. It reminded me of something I heard. Later I realized that it had the famous “tonight” sample from The Dominatrix Sleeps Tonight sample by The Dominatrix. It’s awesome, awesome, awesome. M.A.N.D.Y. are on Get Physical label and the label has other really hip cool electro bands like Booka Shade, DJ T or Chelonis Jones. Love the music they release. Check out the two tracks and please feel free to comment.

  5. Peter Gunn (Turntable Detective) by The Killergroove Formula


     Powered by Max Banner Ads 

    I’ve always loved Henry Mancini. His music is timeless and it’s got a hip factor to it in a cheesy way. I often seek out remakes of Mancini’s works and this one especially caught my ear.

    I got it off of the compilation Lounge Records Sampler, Vol. 2 – Past, Present & Future. It’s a decent compilation with the stand out cut being the Peter Gunn track by The Killergroove Formula. There’s also a remix by Fort Knox Five of Are You Talking To Me??? by Torpedo Boyz, Flight Over Rio by Timax and a cover (I like covers if you haven’t guessed already) of Harvest For The World by Seductive Souls which is a cover of the Isley Brothers original.

    This remake or cover is quite good if not better than the original. It’s fast and quite upbeat with a quirky retro sounding electronic dance beat. What do you think? The original is still quite good but this is great too.

    Check out this live orchestral performance of Mr. Henry Mancini doing his classic Peter Gunn Theme. It’s pretty cool! The guy is one of my all time favorite musicians!

  6. Glass Danse (Paul Oakenfold Remix) by The Faint


     Powered by Max Banner Ads 

    Here’s an awesome remix of an awesome track from The Faint! This one’s remixed by the great big DJ Paul Oakenfold.

    Paul has taken the original synth/rock track and made it very club friendly so it’s perfect for big clubs for long nights of banging dance music. It’s one of my fave Oakenfold remixes.

    Check it out and see what you think. It’s quite nice! Don’t you think? It’s taken from the Danse Macabre Remixes CD which is definitely worth owning if you are at all into remixes!

  7. Hot In Herre by Tiga


     Powered by Max Banner Ads 

    I like to take a hip hop song like Hot In Herre by Nelly and make it a bassy electronic vocal track. This is what Tiga has done with Hot In Herre. I really was not into the original by Nelly until I heard the Tiga version so then I started listening to the Nelly version I started liking it.

    Tiga has hired Jake Shears of Scissor Sisters to do the vocals on this track and I think it’s quite perfect. Check out the really creepy video with the string dolls of the song. It’s fun but very creepy to me. Remember chuckie?

    Anyway what do you think of the two versions? What do you like and not like about them?

  8. Begin to Spin Me Round (Extended Version) by Dannii Minogue


     Powered by Max Banner Ads 

    Here’s a great update to a rather boring release from Dannii Minogue. I Begin To Wonder, off of Minogue’s Neon Nights release is a little on the flat side if you know what I mean. It’s ok but it just never grabbed me. So it’s one of the dismissmasible cuts off of Neon Nights.

    Of course You Spin Me Round Like A Record is a classic top pop hit from the 80s by Dead Or Alive and the two tracks together have mashed into a great club track.

    This is perfect and a great mash up and it really deserves countless plays. I still play it as I love the original by Dead Or Alive but this version adds a breath of fresh air to the song. Mash ups are usually not my favorite types of updates but this really is perfect.

    I think out of all of Dannii Minogues tracks this is my favorite. It’s fun, upbeat and gets you going. Check it out and let me know what you think of the three different versions. Do you like the mash up?

    I bet you would!

  9. A Forest (Original Mix) by Blank & Jones featuring Robert Smith


     Powered by Max Banner Ads 

    Well here’s a remix or shall we say remake from several years ago. It’s one of my favorite Cure tracks – A Forest updated progressive trance style. This remake still sounds good even after 5 years. Boy time flies doesn’t it? Anyway I was happy that Blank & Jones redid this track. It’s been re-recorded by Robert Smith for this release as they are not using the original version of the song by The Cure but hey it still sounds like the original doesn’t it? It’s been given the energetic makeover and really has the feel of full on energetic club track. I can see it really getting people down and grooving in the clubs!

    I’m a pretty big Cure fan and Blank & Jones are alright so it’s always good to get these great remixes every so often.

    Check out the two versions and see what I mean. The single release – photo above had several other versions but they really did not work for me as good as the original version of the remake worked. So I have the original below along with the original Cure version of the track. What do you think? Let me know your thoughts.
