I’ve always loved Henry Mancini. His music is timeless and it’s got a hip factor to it in a cheesy way. I often seek out remakes of Mancini’s works and this one especially caught my ear.
I got it off of the compilation Lounge Records Sampler, Vol. 2 – Past, Present & Future. It’s a decent compilation with the stand out cut being the Peter Gunn track by The Killergroove Formula. There’s also a remix by Fort Knox Five of Are You Talking To Me??? by Torpedo Boyz, Flight Over Rio by Timax and a cover (I like covers if you haven’t guessed already) of Harvest For The World by Seductive Souls which is a cover of the Isley Brothers original.
This remake or cover is quite good if not better than the original. It’s fast and quite upbeat with a quirky retro sounding electronic dance beat. What do you think? The original is still quite good but this is great too.
Peter Gunn (Turntable Detective) by The Killergroove Formula
Check out this live orchestral performance of Mr. Henry Mancini doing his classic Peter Gunn Theme. It’s pretty cool! The guy is one of my all time favorite musicians!
Best of all you can use this DJAY DJ app and mix these tracks in your playlist of cool songs with your iPad!
