Cutting edge alternative band records song. They release album. They hire an awesome remix team and hand over their masters of one of their songs to a remix team. The remix team crafts a masterpiece remix of the cutting edge alternative bands song. The remix turns out 1000% better than the original. This story has been told countless times and I’ll say it again. Well I already did! That is the case with Heads Will Roll by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs! The original Heads Will Roll is just ok. Sounds very flat sorry I hate flat music. I love my highs and lows. But this remix of Heads Will Roll by A-Trak is just so damn good. I love it. So enjoy below and after previewing both you’ll feel the same as I do! I’ve now become a fan of Yeah Yeah Yeahs because of remix from remix team. That’s what it takes!

I’ve really been digging Edwin Van Cleef’s sound and I was happy to have heard of this remix to the Bat For Lashes hit song Daniel. Not a real big fan of Bat For Lashes mysefl …  I could take it or leave it really but this remix does wonders to the song and I’m really happy to hear remixes of songs that I don’t really like remixed and made to sound better. It makes me love some songs even more. And this one I love, the remix that is. What do you think of the two? Which is better than the other?

Loving this track Something Good Can Work by Two Door Cinema Club lately and they really remind me of Phoenix! Don’t you think? Funny that both Phoenix and Two Door Cinema Club are on the same damn label, Glassnote. As well they have some relationship with the awesome French label Kitsune. Two Door Cinema Club are from Ireland and not from France like Phoenix.

Both the original version and the remix version are awesome. Check them out below.

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?

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!

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.

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!

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.
