MY TOP 10 REMIXES OF ALL TIME

June 24th 2008 08:58

So this was a really hard list to make! I have chosen 10 remixes that I think are great, but their have been so many that I am a bit worried I might have forgotten some really great ones. I also really want to hear what some of your favourite remixes are so make sure to leave a comment below. Okay so from I will count down from 10 to 1 and each song will have a video below it so you can have a listen.
Kelly Rowland


No.10
Kelly Rowland, Work (Freemasons Remix)
This song has been a big hit recently and I love it, though it has been played so much on radio I think I will need a little break from it. Still great!
The Ting Tings


No.9
The Ting Tings, Great DJ (Calvin Harris remix)
This is one of my new favourite songs and Calvin’s remix is just awesome!
Feist

No.8
Feist, 1,2,3,4 (Van She Tech Remix)
This is a great track but it was taken to new heights when some of the best remixers in the world had a go at it!

Van She Tech

No.7
Utah Saints, Something Good 08 (Van She Tech Remix)
Another remix done by Van She Tech, Just awesome.
Faker

No.6
Faker, This Heart Attack (Grafton Primary Remix)
This is my favourite remix of the year so far, Grafton primary have taken a great rock/pop song and made the dance version just as good!
Nancy Sinatra

No.5
Nancy Sinatra, Bang Bang (Audio bullys Remix)
This is just an awesome song, my favourite remix of 2005.
Mylo

No.4
Mylo, Dr Pressure (Miami Sound Machine Remix)
This song was a massive hit around the world and it has an awesome video to go with it.
Neneh Cherry

No.3
Cirkus, Your Such An Asshole (Remix Ft. Neneh Cherry)
Oh My GOD!! This is number 3 but it could be no 1 it is so good. Neneh Cherry who was big in the mid nineties started a band called Cirkus in 2005 and last year released this fantastic song!! Now unfortunately I can't find the remix online, I have been searching for months and it's just not availible. So instead have a listen to the original version and listen out on radio for the remix.
Singing In The Rain

No.2
Mint Royale, Singing In The Rain (Remix)
Ok so most of people have heard this song, it’s currently no. 1 in the UK and its just awesome!



Tori Amos

No.1
This is it number 1. This song is my favourite remix of all time it has been since it was released and it hasn’t changed since then. The song is-
Tori Amos, Professional Widow (Arman Van Helden Remix)
78

Hahaha, that's funny. I've seen a thousand American films where characters start a sentence with the word "So," but I've never actually seen it written before.
Anyway, interesting blog - I'll go with the "Freak" remix. Silverchair are mighty fine and I noticed you have previously written a blog (going by your headline) about Daniel Johns and APRA, so I'm going to sign off now and check it out!

Thanks for your comments ChrisC and Morgan bell.

ChrisC- I think I started of by saying 'So' because I was overwhelmed by the hundreds of Remixes that I had on my favourites list to choose from. I agree it sounds weird. Thanks for your input!

Morgan- Thanks you for kind words. I agree he remix is just brilliant. Cheers

I'm a professional DJ based in Sydney, and I remember first buying and playing to death the Star Funk Trunkin' remix of Professional Widow. Still packs a dancefloor punch. The only other mix I'm familiar with is the Freemasons remix. I like their production sound and have several house tracks and remixes of theirs. My favourite remix of theirs is the house mix of Faith Evans - Mesmerized. Awesome.

My favourite mixes though. Very difficult question. I've been buying music since I was 11 years old. I'm 39 now. I love a lot of the 80s original remixes like the dub versions of Human League's Don't You Want Me and Hard Times/Love Action. I love the original remix of Blue Monday on the flipside called The Beach. I love the full length 8-minute mix of Billie Idol's White Wedding. And I adore the Midnight Mix of Kajagoogoo's Too Shy.
... just to name a few.
As for modern dance mixes ... too many to mention. But the two that jump out right now were originally white label remixes: Skullduggery's house mix of U2's With or Without You and Joey Negro's remix of Northern Light's Celebrate (which is a mashup of Chris Isaac's Wicked Game and Fatboy Slim's Praise You).

... I never warmed to that mashup of Drop the Pressure and Dr. Beat, I preferred to mix the originals on top of each other if anything.
As for Mint Royale, I love the Crazy Penis mix of Show Me. Spectacular.
