1. Sleigh Ride (Ralph Myerz Remix) by Ferrante & Teicher

   

   
    Powered by Max Banner Ads 

   

   

   

   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!

2. 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.

3. Get A Move On by The Quantic Soul Orchestra

   

   
    Powered by Max Banner Ads 

   

   

   

   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.

4. Let No Man Jack (Abe Duque Mix) by DJ Hell

   

   
    Powered by Max Banner Ads 

   

   

   

   

   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.

5. I’m Not Alone (Burns Rewerk) by Calvin Harris

   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?

6. Girl And The Sea (Cut Copy Remix) by The Presets

   

   
    Powered by Max Banner Ads 

   

   

   

   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!

   Check them out below.

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

   

   
    Powered by Max Banner Ads 

   

   

   
   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.

8. Relaxin’ At Club F*****n (Dorfmeister vs. Madrid De Los Austrias) by Koop

   

   
    Powered by Max Banner Ads 

   

   

   

   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. Enjoy! Released on Compost Records.

   1. “Baby” (D’Malicious Remix)
   2. “Tonight” (Nicola Conte New Jazz Version)
   3. “Modal Mile” (2 Banks of 4 Remix)
   4. “Summer Sun” (Markus Enochson Remix)

9. Dalminjo feat Anja Oyen Vister Covers The Smiths Song There Is A Light That Never Goes Out

   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?

10. In For The Kill (Lifelike Remix) by La Roux

    

    
     Powered by Max Banner Ads 

    

    

    

    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?

11. Felix Da Housecat Samples The Flirts Song Passion With Silver Screen Shower Scene

    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!

12. 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!

13. Wild Oscar Remix Shirley Bassey Song Big Spender

    

    
     Powered by Max Banner Ads 

    

    

    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

    Where Do I Begin (awayTEAM Mix)
    Goldfinger (Propellerheads Mix)
    Light My Fire (Kenny Dope Remix)
    Diamonds Are Forever (Mantronik 007 Mix)
    Easy Thing To Do (Nightmares On Wax)
    Never Never Never (Groove Armada Mix)

14. Mylo Samples Kim Carnes With Bette Davis Eyes On In My Arms

    

    
     Powered by Max Banner Ads 

    

    

    

    

    

    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.

    Watch the video to In My Arms as well below. I wasn’t able to embed Bette Davis Eyes unfortunately. So you can go find it at youtube if you feel like!

    Buy Destroy Rock And Roll here. Trust me you wont be disappointed. It’s chock full of awesome beats! And this US edition also contains Doctor Pressure the Miami Sound Machine Dr. Beat/Drop The Pressure mash up. Worth every penny!

15. 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?

16. L.A. Woman (Paul Oakenfold Remix) by The Doors

    

    
     Powered by Max Banner Ads 

    

    

    I love it when DJ’s or artists remix very well known tracks but legends. This remix was done by Paul Oakenfold of the classic Doors track L.A. Woman I dig it very much. It’s now around 5 or 6 years old but hey L.A. Woman never gets tired and this remix is just the same. It’s not your typical dance remix here Paul Oakenfold keeps the same elements of the original Doors song but the remix has an added oomph factor to it. Check them both out below. Gosh Paul Oakenfold got his start in the late 80s/early 90s and I’ve been following his music since then and he’s certainly come along way and this remix is just an example of his great remixing talents. This remix appears on Perfect Presents The Club disc. Oh and check the promo video below for L.A. Woman by The Doors

17. ABC (Konishi Yasuharu’s Readymade Super 524 Mix) by The Jackson 5

    

    
     Powered by Max Banner Ads 

    

    

    ABC by The Jackson 5 is a pretty fun song and this is a very fun remix of ABC by The Jackson 5 in the style of Fatboy Slim and even Pizzicato 5. This one is remixed by Konishi Yasuharu and it’s lively, energetic and groovy and I think it’s suits the song very well because it has a very 70s remix style to it. This remix is from the Soul Source – The Jackson 5 Remixes 2 CD that came out back in 2000 or 2001. 2 CD’s of Jackson Five remixes! Rare discs that you might find somewhere used or new maybe and well worth owning if you can find them and you are into remixes.The CD is a Japanese Import so might still be available some places I would snatch it up if you find it.

    In the meantime check out both original and Konishi Yasuharu’s Readymade Super 524 Mix of ABC by The Jackson 5 below. Oh and also catch a live performance of The Jackson 5 on youtube!

18. Minimalistix Cover Wim Mertens With Close Cover

    

    
     Powered by Max Banner Ads 

    

    

    This came out in the early 2000s so it sounds a bit trancey dated but still fun if you like your trance fast and pumping! I first heard of Wim Mertens and Close Cover when I bought Cafe Del Mar Volume 5 back in 2000 and immediately loved his approach to new age and classical music. I’m not such a big fan of new age but do love classical so I love Close Cover in it’s true original form. But the Minimalistix make a fun clubbed out version that you can hear below. Check them both out and see what you think of both.

    Close Cover is off of Minimalistix’s Elements CD and Close Cover by Wim Mertens is off of Wim Merten’s Usura album. Minimalistix’s album Elements contains so many covers including a remake of A Forest by The Cure, Adagio For Strings by Samuel Barber, Twin Peaks Theme and more. Worth checking for anyone into covers, remixes and more.

     Powered by Max Banner Ads 

    

    

    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?

20. Always by David Guetta Featuring JD Davis Samples Change by Tears For Fears

    Hey taking a classic 80s song like Change by Tears For Fears and sampling the most prominent part into a dance track is awesome thing to do. Check this track Always by David Guetta from his Pop Life album. I think Guetta has taken that wonderful sound from the Tears For Fears song and sampled it perfectly in his song Always. Worth owning for sure. Compare both below.

    Pop Life also contains This Is Not A Love Song the Public Image Limited cover as well as hits Love Don’t Let Me Go the remix with The Egg. Worth owning!

21. 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.

    I love Ocean Beach by Black Might Orchestra. It’s a cover of the late great Henry Mancini’s Lujon track. Lujon is actually one of my favorite tracks from Henry Mancini … it’s a beautiful and sexy downtempo jazzy cinematic masterpiece and Black Mighty Orchestra have taken parts from Lujon and sampled it to an electronic chillout hit. You’ve probably heard Ocean Beach on countless chillout compilations and it’s still great to have as background music for a dinner party or to relax to at home.

    Check out both versions below and write a comment about it!

    You can find these songs and a bunch of other great tracks off of both albums pictured above.

    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.

    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!

    Check this out … this track The Way It Is by The Prodigy is off of their very underrated, underperformed and top notch album Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned and it samples the legendary singer Michael Jackson’s song Thriller perfectly. I love it! Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned’s tracks are chock full of samples and this track is one of the better ones that utilizes the samples the best especially with such a recognizable song by Mr Michael Jackson himself. The album Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned came out in 2004 and no one even knew it came out but the album flows very fast from one track to another and it’s one of The Prodigy’s better albums.

    Check out Michael Jackson with Thriller below then listen to The Way It Is by The Prodigy and you’ll see what I mean by awesome sampling. Links below.
