Who Loves Random Remixes? Everyone. Duh. (4)



Love your enemy (Birdy Nam Nam),

It's Thursday, and yes it's also Spring Break; time to get debaucherous. I'm going to be gettin' my drank on in Lake Havasu, AZ, hope y'all have a great break too. And today we have yet another installment of everyone's favorite post, Who Loves Random Remixes? This week we got some awesome artists and even better remixes.

Kaskade & Deadmau5 released several songs together and each one was just pure electro-house bliss. Their song Move for Me remixed by Santiago & Bushido morphs the original ambient bliss of it into some fast paced dancing mania. Awesome drop beeteedubs.

Miike Snow is a huge breakout band of 2009 and these Swedes get down. Awesome alternative band that flawlessly blends electroctronic dance aspects into their music. Definitely recommend all of you to check out their self titled debut album. Redial is a DJ who has pumping out some massive remixes, and this one of Silvia (my favorite song of their album) just enhances an already great song.

I don't personally listen to a lot of Massive Attack but I do love Zeds Dead... these guys are just simply massive. Every song and remix they seem to put out just have an even bigger and heavier sound than the last one and this remix sure doesn't disappoint with some serious squelch.

Oh, Crookers, I love you guys so much but I really think your album sucks... no hard feelings though, I'll keep listening to your pure electro shit. This song is why I love them, remixing Secret Handshake's Summer of 98, Crookers put their signature hard electro fidget house sound on it to make this song into an absolute banger.

Thee Bloody Beetroots are probably right behind Deadmau5 for my favorite DJ spot. When I first heard these guys I instantly fell in love with their aggressive synth heavy sound. These guys get the party started and keep it goin' all day and all night. WARP was argueably 2009's biggest electronic song and it was remixed by everyone and their momma... but R3SET's remix is just too good of a chune to not check out. So peep it.

The XX
is one my favorite bands out right now and their self titled debut album is amazing. And I'm a maniac about dubstep so when I heard this remix I was in electro bliss. MartyParty sprinkles in a dash of dubstep that transforms the XX's Infinity into some hard steppin' grime.

Who loves Random Remixes? Everyone. Duh.



Let your love grow tall (Passion Pit),

Enough is enough, thus I've decided to curtail the dubstep posts (sorry dubsteppers, it's only for a while) and show some awesome remixes to some random songs. We got a remix from 2009's breakthrough band and on top of everyone's album of the year list (Merriweather Post Pavillion), ANIMAL COLLECTIVE. Awesome band, if you didn't catch their album I recommend definitely picking it up and giving it a listen.


Another remix that I decided to post is a golden oldie with a hard new twist. Robin S.'s Show Me Love was an absolute ginormous hit and Afrojack's remix makes a great song that much better with a much needed electro-hard house feel.


John. Roman. This kid from T-Dot (Toronto) has made pulsing electro-hard house for the past year or so and every song and remix he has put out has such a edge to them that you can tell it's a John Roman song. Here's a remix he did of Boys Noize's Kontact Me.


Kid Cudi's "Man On The Moon: The End Of The Day" was one of the biggest albums of 2009, and Steve Aoki's remix of Pursuit of Happiness has got to be one of the most massive synth heavy party tunes that I have ever heard. Play this song at full volume and tell me you and your homies won't be dancing.


Royksopp is a Norwegian electronic duo that burst onto the scene during 2009 as well with their acclaimed drop "Junior". This remix is paralyzing with its driving bass, and Boys Noize is one of the dirtiest DJs out there right now and this remix shows why...

And last but not least, yet another break out band of 2009 was The XX and this remix of their song Shelter by little known Death to the Throne is an absolute dance hit. Sounds nothing like the original and but still captures the essence of the original while putting an electronic twist on it.


Peace,
