    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!

  3. Heartbeat (A Touch Of Class’ Class-ic Vocal Mix) by Taana Gardner

    I love Heartbeat in it’s original form by Taana Gardner but this remix from 2001 is pretty darn cool. It’s much more sped up so it’s not as mellow as the original is so it’s more geared for the club floor. Heartbeat was originally released in 1981 off of West End Records and it’s still pretty darn cool. It’s so laidback and chill but very early 1980s disco. Worth it if you disco lovers have never heard of. Heartbeat and Work That Body are the only hits Taana Gardner is known so she had a small career in disco music. Taana Gardner has worked with some very legendary folks from that era including Larry Levan and Dr. Buzzard’s Original Savannah Band.

    This remix of Heartbeat is part of a disc called Dance For Life West End Records Celebrates the 10th Anniversary of LIFEbeat. It’s def worth owning as there are new remixes of old West End Records classics including an Angel Moraes remix of Work That Body by Taana Gardner. Check it out!

    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.

    Boogie Oogie Oogie by A Taste Of Honey

    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.

    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

    Destroy-Rock-And-Roll-Remix-Jackson-Five-Portrait

    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!

  11. Remember Me by Blue Boy Samples Women Of The Ghetto (Live) by Marlena Shaw

    Destroy-Rock-And-Roll-Remix-Marlena-Shaw-Live-At-Montreaux

    Pretty cool sampling job by Blue Boy for the track Remember Me. Blue Boy is Scottish DJ, Alexis ‘Lex’ Blackmore and this is his one and only hit. This one dates back to 1997 so it’s 12 years old now but the sample is a live version of Marlena Shaw’s Woman Of The Ghetto. The live album it comes from is Live In MontreauxThis live version of Woman Of The Ghetto was pretty popular for sampling back in the late 90s and early 2000s. It was also sampled by St. Germain for this Rose Rouge track off of Tourist. Very cool stuff. Check out both Blue Boy and original live version of Women Of The Ghetto below. The samples is basically Marlena Shaw singing … “Remember me … I’m the one who had your babies”. It’s perfect. The song reached pretty high in the charts in the UK but here in the states it was pretty underground.

    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?

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Time To Make You Mine (CD Single) Lisa Stansfield

    Lisa-Stansfield-Self-Titled-CD

    The Orb remixing Lisa Stansfield? Yes it actually really does work and I love this a little more than the original. The Orb add their signature spacey dub electronic ambient sound to Lisa Stansfield original and make it a long droning chugging adventure. The end result is 10 minute ambient dub adventure. Perfect to chill to with the soulful vocals of Lisa Stansfield. Check both versions out below and you’ll know what I’m talking about. It’s perfect.

    This remix came out in 1992 at the height of The Orb’s big breakthrough with their The Orb’s Adventures Beyond The Ultraworld double CD. The original song comes off of Lisa Stansfield’s self titled Lisa Stansfield album

    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

    Someone Great
    All My Friends

     Powered by Max Banner Ads 

    Hey who doesn’t love the Labelle disco funk hit Lady Marmalade? It’s a pretty darn big hit from the disco era and it’s still pretty popular today. I love this remake though from Lords Of Acid. They have made it into a sleazy industrial electrofied version. A bit cheesy at some points when the moaning comes in (ok that’s signature Lords Of Acid) but the beats are pretty darn cool still. This remake is 10 years old … wow time flies but I think it’s still got legs. It doesn’t sound too dated.

    What do you think? Lords_Of_Acid_Expand_Your_Head_Cover

     Powered by Max Banner Ads 

    Hey this is a fun version of the Mazzy Star classic Fade Into You. This one has the voice of Jarvis Cocker from the indie UK band Pulp. Into U is pulled from the Richard X Presents His X-Factor Vol. 1 album which also includes tracks and hits with the vocals of Annie, Kelis, Sugababes and Tiga. It’s a pretty darn great and very underrated album and well worth owning if you are at all into remakes, remixes and sampling as it sure contains tons of samples from famous recordings. But this remake is pretty worth the album since I do love Fade Into You very much and it’s always nice to hear remakes of it.

  24. I Want Your Love (Danny Krivit Original Re-Edit) by Jody Watley


     Powered by Max Banner Ads 

    Gosh? Whatever happened to Jody Watley? Well she’s still around and she’s done this awesome remake of the Chic disco classic. I think this is quite the remake – it’s excellent. It’s so good that it’s been on repeat for a while now. I’ve read that Nile Rodgers is actually done the guitar on this Jody Watley version of the Chich masterpiece from the 70s. The Jody Watley single contains so many remixes but my favorite is the Danny Krivit Original Re-Edit as it’s perfect to chill to it. It’s very similar to the Chic classic – it’s a laidback midtempo track. Here’s a list of the versions available from the Jody Watley release.

    Jody_Watley_I_Want_Your_Love

    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.

    Chic_I_Want_Your_Love

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

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

    1. “I Want Your Love” (Soulcast Icon Mix)
    2. “I Want Your Love” (Masi and Mellow Late Night Vocal Mix)
    3. “I Want Your Love” (Morgan Page Sunset Strip Mix)
    4. “I Want Your Love” (Angel Manuel Dirty Vox Mix)
    5. “I Want Your Love” (Zoned Out Vintage Vox Mix)

    7. “I Want Your Love” (Cristian Paduraru Vocal Mix)
    8. “I Want Your Love” (Danny Krivit Edit)

    10. “I Want Your Love” (Soulcast Radio Edit)

    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?

  25. Sex Beat (Remix) by Two Lone Swordsmen

    I’ve never really been a fan of The Gun Club but I do love their track Sex Beat. The LA punk band really delivers on this track. What I really love though are the remakes by Two Lone Swordsmen especially the remix of their version.

    The vocals by the The Lone Swordsmen are dark, moody and the beats are fast and pounding. This track is not for your typical club but I could see it in an Industrial or darker clubs out there. What do you think?

    The original is off The Two Lone Swordsmen’s album called From The Double Gone Chapel but the remix of course is from the Sex Beat single. Their sound on this album is more dub and seventies sounding than their previous efforts. Two Lone Swordsmen is off of the famous Warp Records! A who’s who of dark electronica. Cool stuff.

    Gun Club doing Sex Beat live on stage … not my cup of tea but still love the original of this song.
