Totally totally wicked track called Space Warrior that I stumbled onto after just listening to Fabriclive 41 the Simian Mobile Disco mix from a couple of years back. This track is just the wickedest, wildest recording ever. Takes me back to early 90s and then throws me back today now. I want to hear more from these guys but not much more is available. Anyone know anything about them?

Billie Holiday’s version of Pennies From Heaven is my favorite compared to everyone else that’s done it. It’s so beautiful, calm mellow somewhat moody but very beautiful. When I heard of this remix from the Remixed and Reimagined CD I was quick to snatch it right up! I love remixes (if you haven’t noticed already) and will buy any remix of an existing song including the oldies. I was quite surprised at how good the Count De Money Remix is of Pennies From Heaven. I just wished it was longer. It almost feels or sounds like it starts in the middle. Those record execs and their stupid decisions to do such a thing. Give me the 12″ and day, longer versions pleeze! Either way though I shouldn’t complain because I can have my Billie Holiday songs remixed. The entire collection of Remixed and Reimagined is great. Worth it for anyone that likes remixes or is a Billie Holiday fan but not a purist. Came out in 2007.

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?

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.

Any fan of disco should really own A Taste Of Honey’s greatest hits.

I really do like this. Although I’ve been a pretty darn long time fan of Kraftwerk, James Murphy from LCD Soundsystem has taken the classic synth track from Germany’s Kraftwerk and sampled in his Gt Innocuous track. It’s a minimalist electro alternative cut that repeats the famous beats from Kraftwerk’s The Robots!

Get Innocuous is off of the Sound Of Silver album which has the hit track North American Scum a track that you’ve probably heard if you saw Step Brothers. Here’s the entire list of tracks from Sound Of Silver.

Get Innocuous!
Time To Get Away
North American Scum
Someone Great
All My Friends
Us V Them
Watch The Tapes
Sound Of Silver
New York, I Love You But You’re Bringing Me Down

Check it out both to preview below!

One listen to both versions and you’ll notice that it’s very similar except for the production sounds more current and the vocals are of course Jody Watley versus the Chic girls. The original comes off of the album C’est Chic.

The original Jody Watley version comes from the album The Makeover.

Check them out and let me know what you think of the two.

Make sure you catch this live performance of I Want Your Love performed by Jody Watley at the now closed down Virgin Megastore in San Francisco.

Oh and make sure you really do watch the original video of Chic doing I Want Your Love. It’s really CLASSIC!

Watcha think? If you like this post you might really enjoy Ring My Bell (Miss X Remix) by Miss X since they are both from the same era. You know?

The original Europa And The Pirate Twins is off of the album The Golden Age Of Wireless album that also included the song She Blinded Me With Science. An awesome 80s classic worth owning if you don’t.

I do like this version by Sondre Lerche. It’s updated nicely but still doesn’t stand up to the original by Thomas Dolby. What do you think?

It’s on the single to Say It All which you can order from Amazon.

Sorry I do love MSTRKRFT but I hate this remix. For once I have to revert back to the original of version of a track and this is when I have to do it. This remix just does not go anywhere. What do you think? I think it sucks! I think The Crystal Method should have not even approved this remix. What were they thinking? This remix is on the 10th year anniversary of their Vegas CD and it’s quite lame. Lame Lame Lame. Awful. I’ll stick to the original on this one. Too bad though as it would have been great to hear some updated cut of this awesome track. No good to mix big beat with the sounds of electro. Hmm.

Watch the video for more memories…

The original brings back memories of 1997 though. Those were the good old days of electronic music. Oh well. Can’t have it all can we?

If there ever was a remix contest I would put this remix by Trentemoller of the Robyn track Konichiwa Bitches at the very top. It’s excellent and it’s what a remix is all about. The original is cool but nothing to write home about – makes sense as it didn’t go anywhere on the charts when it was originally released so this Trentemoller remix puts new life into the song. I could see or hear this in the best clubs and it would perfect in a mix and to dance to. It’s got lots of hard bass and it definitely has the hard sleazy edge that Robyn has been pushing lately.

Don’t you think so?
