  1. Zerotonine (Slacker’s Tens Remix) by Junkie XL

    I became a fan of Junkie XL when I heard this Slacker’s Tens Remix of Zerotonine from the Global Underground Cape Town 2 CD set by Dave Seaman. Well I guess I’m more into Slacker’s sound here than Junkie Xl but I certainly was seeking more from Junkie. His Big Sounds Of The Drags CD was not in heavy rotation for me back in ’99/00 when it was big. I love this remix so much because of it’s intense progressive beats, somewhat tribal and robotic sounding at the same time. Very energetic. Makes it one of my favorite remixes ever and listening to it today still sounds fresh. What do you think? The original was more big beat/rock/electronic fusion sort of thing but this remix is just amazing!

    One of the things I should point out here also is that this version that comes off of the Global Underground Cape Town/Dave Seaman CD set is much faster with the bpm’s than the original single that was available when released in 99. So I vote for this sped up version over the single version.

    Slacker on the other hand have done remixes and released their own original material in the late 90s. Including remixes for Golden Girls, Bedrock, Ascension and The Locust.

    Enjoy!

  2. Cities In Dust (Radio Edit) by Junkie XL Featuring Lauren Rocket

    Here’s a great version of Cities In Dust by Junkie XL. I’ve always a big real big fan of the original by Siouxsie & The Banshees and it’s refreshing to see this update – it’s quite big sounding and upbeat and energetic. I even like the voice of Lauren Rocket here on this. I don’t know much about Lauren Rocket but I do know that she is in an LA punk band. Whatever she’s in I think the JXL version works. This is from the single release from Junkie XL with several great remixes and this one the radio edit is a good one to start out with. There are some even more energetic remixes on here but this brings back memories of the 80s.

    Since I’ve loved the Extended Version by Siouxsie I think I’ve always wanted a pumped up electrofied version of this classic 80s song so this single really works for me. What do you think?

    I love JXL and I think he does a pretty damn good job at remixing oldies and updating classics with his signature sound. Check out A Little Conversation (JXL Remix) by Elvis. You’ll see what I mean.
