    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.

    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?

  5. Magnum 38 Sample Grace Jones Slave To The Rhythm With Slave

    Destroy-Rock-And-Roll-Remix-Blog-Grace-Jones-Slave-To-The-Rhythm-Cover
    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-La-Roux-Portrait

    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?

    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!

    Kurtis Blow remixed in sexy downtempo style here by Dublex and it’s certainly a good remix. I love the original 80s hip hop track The Breaks by Kurtis Blow but this remix by Dublex can be played in a chill out set or as background music for a cocktail party. This is off of two remix digital singles and both sets are worth owning for those of you that like remixes. Remixers include De-Phazz, Timewriter and of course Dublex Inc. The remixes sets also include a millennium remix which is just an updated recording of the original. Check them all out at Amazon links below … well worth owning the entire set.

    Here’s a synthy trademark Chromeo sounding mellow cover of the Eagles 70s soft rock/easy listening track I Can’t Tell You Why. Listening to the original gives me goosebumps as I have a love/hate relationship with this track. A good and bad time in my life. But the remake by Chromeo is quite fun and slightly quirky as they are known for producing. Check them out below. This cover is released as part of the DJ Kicks mix CD. It’s perfectly placed in the mix. The disc also contains some flashback 80s tracks by France Joli, Kano, Donna Allen and Leo Sayer. A great mix for anyone into synth dance pop with an 80s sound. Check out the fun promo film as well. It’s shot in the streets of Paris. You know what now that I think about this Chromeo cover at first listen it sounds like an 80s Hall & Oates track. Hmm?

  10. Night Fever by Soda Inc. Covers You Keep Me Hangin’ On by Kim Wilde

    Ok we know The Supremes did this song first but I like the Kim Wilde Version as well. It’s a pretty darn cool remake that Kim Wilde did back in 1986. It was originally written and produced by Motown’s main production team Holland-Dozier-Holland.

    This remake by Soda Inc. is a midtempo electro disco cover of that track. It’s mostly sexy beats except for the main part “Set Me Free Why Don’t You Babe … You Just Keep Me Hangin’ On. I think it’s perfection! Check both the Kim Wilde version and the Soda Inc. cover and you’ll know what I mean. Night Fever by Soda Inc. is on the cool Plastic City Record Label definitely worth checking out for more of their releases.

    Follow-Me-2009-Aly-Us

    Follow Me by Aly-Us is a spiritual or gospel house hit way back from 1992 off of the Strictly Rhythm Records. The original is very soulful and I can hardly consider it house music. The recent remixes package that was released contains this Fred Everything & Olivier Desmet remix. I like it it tries to hold on to it’s soulfulness but I still dig the Full Intention Remix that was released back in 2002. Check out both versions below. The original, original version from 1992 and this latest remix by Fred Everything & Olivier Desmet. What do you think?

    I’ve been a fan of Martin Solveig from France for quite a while now and was very happy to find that Dragonette the electro pop band from Canada and Martin Solveig had teamed up to do a song together. The original Boys & Girls is a bouncy electro pop number but this remix by Bart B More is something that takes me back to early 90’s rave techno music days. Very very fun and great for the dancefloor.

    Check both versions out below.

    The chillout acoustic electronic godess January gets the remix club treatment on her single Careful What You Tell The Sky. The original song is a mellow laidback emotional cinematic masterpiece but The Random Access Man Remix is going to lead you into the club to get down to. The remix has been given the guitar, electro upbeat energetic treatment. There are several other remixes but this one wins me over the best. Check out the track list and both versions below.

  15. Youth, Speed, Trouble, Cigarettes (Don Diablo Remix) by Cassius


     Powered by Max Banner Ads 

    This is the unreleased remix of Youth, Speed, Trouble, Cigarettes by Don Diablo as well as the original Youth, Speed, Trouble, Cigarettes by Cassius. Both are pretty darn rockin! The original by Cassius has a more minimal 80s touch and the Don Diablo remix starts minimal and gets very groovy early 80s disco electro style. You be the judge both versions below for your listening pleasure. Once you are done listening to both versions head all the way down and check out the strange unofficial video with footage from the film Gummo.

  16. Anthonio (Fred Falke Remix) by Annie

    Annie-Photo

    Anthonio by Annie and The Fred Falke Remix are still growing on me since they were released back in May. The Annie from 2005 with Hearbeat, Anniemal and Chewing Gum has grown up and her sound seems a bit more darker not as pop friendly and cute but these two cuts along with the othe remixes on the single to Anthonio are pretty cool. It will take sometime to grow on you though since Annie’s sound sounds more mature now. Again I’m a pretty darn big fan of Fred Falke and this remix is one of the better remixes on the single. Full track list to the single just below.

    What are your thoughts? Do you like the original or the Fred Falke Remix of Anthonio? Links to both below.

    This is pretty darn cool! This Trentemoller remix is so much better than the original version (sorry DM guys) because it’s got this energy that the original downer song doesn’t. But the energy is not too upbeat that it’s aggressive or anything too fast it’s just the right amount of oomph to it that I love, love this remix. If you can’t tell I’m a darn big fan of Trentemoller so check out the Robyn remix Trentemoller did to Konichiwa Bitches here.

    Parov-Stelar-Portrait-Picture

    I really love Parov Stelar’s music and his new album is pretty darn awesome. I’ve heard it and it’s a double album as well as a pretty nice Coco ep. So some really cool jazzy electronica dance whch heavily relies on the swing era with a slight touch of the blues. I love most of the tracks on here. Anyone into the whole swing revival thing would really dig these tunes. Or they would be perfect for a swing/jazz era themed party.

    Here’s the video for Coco as well as a preview of one of the more fun tracks Catgroove from the ep and album. Well worth it!

    WOW! These two versions are completely different. I have to say I first heard Paris (Aeroplane Remix) on FabricLive 45 – A-Trak and had to find out more about Friendly Fires and I was like what nice I like the music they release and I needed to research them more.

    I really love these both versions of Paris but as I said above they are completely different from one another. Like night and day. I favor the remix over the original more indie alternative sound but they are both cool. Preview both versions below.

    The original Paris is off of the self titled Friendly Fires album.

    We’re digging this track tons! The Day (We Fell In Love) by Appaloosa. Was in a hip hotel lounge and we heard this playing in the background and luckily had my iPhone shazam and found out the name of this piece. WOW! AMAZING. Right off of the hip hot French label Kitsune. Worth a listen for sure. There are several remixes of the track but the original and this Sis-Mix are the better of the various versions from the single.
