1. Behind The Wind (Heavygrinder Remix) by Jabberloop

   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.

2. Galactic Prism by The Glimmers (aka The Glimmer Twins)

   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!

3. Give It 2 Me (Eddie Amador House Lovers Mix) by Madonna

   

   
    Powered by Max Banner Ads 

   

   

   Give it 2 Me is a pretty darn good song on Madonna’s Hard Candy album. This version of Give It 2 Me is a remix off of the CD single for Give It 2 me and it’s one of the better remixes on the disc. It’s the Eddie Amador House Lovers mix. The CD single contains lots of choices but among all the talent that have been hired to remix this track only one has actually been able to create something original so I was a bit disappointed with the whole collection and unfortunately failed to even listen to the Eddie Amador House Lovers Mix. Just earlier today I was a clothing store and I heard this version playing loudly on the system and quickly thought to come back and check out the collection and sure enough they were playing this version. So at least the collection is worth it for this version. Check out both the original and the remix of Give It 2 Me by Madonna below. Whatcha think?

4. Air War (Casanova Remix) by Crystal Castles

   Kind of obnoxious remix of the fun Crystal Castles track Air War remixed by Casanova. Sort of like video game music gone bad. Check them out both below. I still like the original. What do you think? The original version is off the self titled Crystal Castles album.

5. Club Tropicana by Bossasonic Covers Wham!

   

   
    Powered by Max Banner Ads 

   

   

   This is fun sunny version of Wham!s Club Tropicana from the little known band Bossasonic. Very island/Brazil inspired. Whereas the Wham! version was also island inspired it has that classic 80s sound to it. This version by Bossasonic definitely has the jazz thing going. I can see this version played at a fun cocktail club/theater as it has that vibe going. Check them out both. I love both and I can listen to them over and over again. The song is from the Bossasonic album Club Life. Check out Bossasonic on Myspace.

   Make sure you listen for the ocean waves while listening to the Bossasonic version. And be sure you catch the Wham! video for Club Tropicana.

6. When You’re Around by Frankmusik Covers Golden Brown by The Stranglers

   Love this song When You’re Around by Frankmusik. It’s a cover of the Stranglers new wave punk classic Golden Brown. I love that Frankmusik has taken it and given it a little electro life. Increasing the bpm and making it a bit frenetic which perfectly works. The original by the Stranglers is pretty darn good and a classic now but I love a fresh take on a classic track and Frankmusik has done that perfectly. What do you think?

   When You’re Around is from the album Complete Me on Island Records. It’s available for download from online retailers like Amazon.com or iTunes. Check it out as it’s a fun album. Lots of electro pop with a big hint to the 80s.

   This video rocks …. check it out below!

   Or catch him singing on the streets here!

7. Stuck On Repeat (Fake Blood Remix) by Little Boots

   

   
    Powered by Max Banner Ads 

   

   

   Little Boots aka Victoria Hesketh used to be lead singer of the UK band Dead Disco. This is a pretty darn good dance pop track by Little Boots. You can tell the production is totally leaning towards the electronic dance genre rather than the pop genre and you can also tell that it’s a UK production not the USA! Very obvious. The Fake Blood Remix is pretty darn good. It’s repetetive but in a very good way. The original Stuck On Repeat sounds a little on the minimal old school sound but still very darn good but the Fake Blood Remix is pretty darn good! Very punk meets funk ala electro disco dance track. It’s got that late 70s early 80s feel to it too. This track is produced by Hot Chip and The Bird And The Bee.

   Yummy!

   Youtube video here …

   Check out the two versions Stuck On Repeat below.

8. Jingo (Original) by Creamer & Vukas

   Unfortunately this remake is not as solid as the original by Candido. The Candido version is a disco classic from the Salsoul catalog and Creamer and Vukas have taken an awesome track and made something mediocre. What do you think? Check out both versions below.

9. Shining In My Vein (Spirit Catcher Mix – SM Edit) by Scratch Massive

   

   
    Powered by Max Banner Ads 

   I’m really digging this. I love the synth bass line in the Human League awesome track Don’t You Want Me. So basically Spirit Catcher have taken that bass line and sampled it in this remix of the Scratch Massive track Shining In My Vein. This is actually quite nice. Scratch Massive are an electro act from Paris, France. Check it out and let me know what you think. The remix is taken from the “Underground Needs Your Money Baby” album.

10. Ring My Bell (Miss X Remix) by Miss X

    

    
     Powered by Max Banner Ads 

    Here’s a very popular 70s disco classic Ring My Bell by Anita Ward that’s been taken and given the upbeat deep bass treatment by Miss X. I don’t know much about this band and I certainly can’t find any info about them online. Their album is available as a download on Amazon, iTunes and eMusic which is where I downloaded.

    

    I specifically downloaded the entire album because of this remake and have been enjoying the remainder of the tracks. It’s a great mix of electro pop tracks in the vein of 80s synth pop. Definitely in the vein of Richard X and similar artists. All fun but definitely the track that stands out for me is Ring My Bell. There are some really cute sounding beats on here as well. Some vocals and some instrumental cuts.

    Check it out and download from eMusic. Link to sign up for free 25 downloads here. It’s worth it for sure.

    Out of all the great disco singles I think Ring My Bell is certainly one of my all time favorites and I was very happy to hear this remix/remake by Miss X.

11. Beneath Me (Reggae Do Morro by Plastique de Rêve) by Dancepig

    

    
     Powered by Max Banner Ads 

    Here’s a really fun, upbeat and energetic remake, remix of this little known track called Beneath Me by Dancepig. This remix basically takes the beat from the track called No Coke by Dr. Alban and loops it around until you get the Tone Loc Wild Thing sample kick in. It’s quite fun and I actually love it and even more than the original version. 

    Check it out as I think you will like this. I love taking originals and totally screwing with the tracks and coming up with really unique remix. The remixes are from the EP/Single to Beneath Me from Dancepig.

12. Radio (Shinichi Osawa Remix) by Felix da Housecat

    

    
     Powered by Max Banner Ads 

    This is one hell of a remix by Shinichi Osawa. WOW! I can’t say enough about this remix – it’s awesome! The original is a pretty slow track from the album Virgo Blaktro & the Movie Disco and the remix is off of the Radio single.

    Prior to hearing this remix of Radio I had not heard of Shinichi Osawa. I love it and I’m curious to know what else he has done or remixed. He’s got a huge list of remixes for such artists as Boys Noize, Digitalism, Alex Gopher and Christopher Just. All roads lead me to Mondo Grosso though the Japanese electronic house/jazz act of the latter 90s early 2000s.

    

    I’m definitely interested in exploring the Shinichi Osawa’s sound more though as I truly dig it. What do you think of the remix compared to the original?

13. Cities In Dust (Radio Edit) by Junkie XL Featuring Lauren Rocket

    

    
     Powered by Max Banner Ads 

    

    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.

14. Wild Thing (Peaches Extended Remix) by Tone-Loc

    

    
     Powered by Max Banner Ads 

    

    

    Here’s a really fun remix of the classic 1980’s hip-hop song. Peaches has taken the song and added electro rock touches to it and also added her nasty vocals to it. I think it really works. The only prob I have with this recording is that there’s some really odd audio probs with it. I’ve downloaded the entire album Rmxxology both from Amazon MP3 and emusic and there seems to be some clipping. And it’s not only this recording it’s the entire album. Maybe the audio clipping is for effect? Anyone know?

    It kind of spoils the music but the remix is still fun and I love both the original and the Peaches remix. Peaches rocks! Don’t you think so?

15. Sweet Dreams by Señor Coconut

    

    
     Powered by Max Banner Ads 

    

    Well the big hit Sweet Dreams Are Made Of This by Eurythmics will always go down in pop music history. It’s been remixed and covered countless number of times but I like this version because it just does not sound so much electronic or synth poppy as the original. It’s very loungy with the added Latin flavor that I’ve come to love from Señor Coconut. I think it’s great and it makes a great track to chill to. Don’t get me wrong, I do love the original and I love it alot but this completely different version is a nice change to the classic piece of music.

    It’s def worth a listen. Check it out and let me know what you think.
