Phoenix – Armistice (YACHT Remix)

Phoenix Armistice (YACHT Remix) mp3
Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix (Remix Collection) is shaping up to be a killer. It’s filled with remixes that will move your feet, and other remixes that will connect with you on a deeper level. Listening though them all, YACHT’s remix of “Armistice” is a clear standout.

The remix is quite tame, compared to some of the chaos that went down on YACHT’s SeeMystery Lights, or their remix of Wolfmother’s “New Moon Rising,” but the mid-tempo bleeps and slabs of synth fit the aesthetic of “Armistice” like a glove. It’s an artsy and fresh view on a late 00’s classic, but I don’t think anything will top the original. But I’m still chalking this one up as a victory for YACHT, as well as Phoenix for continuing to prove to be the most remix-friendly act of 2009. As far as I can tell, this is a PMA first, so have go listen to the remix! Continue reading →

Yeah Yeah Yeahs – Heads Will Roll (A-Trak Remix) **UPDATE**

Yeah Yeah Yeahs Heads Will Roll (A Trak Remix) **UPDATE** mp3

The last time a big named decided to remix the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, it left a sour taste in my mouth. When I heard A-Trak dropped a killer remix of YYY’s “Heads Will Roll” at this year’s Lollapalooza, I knew I had to get my hands on it. Unfortunately, A-Trak has kept a tight lid on this one, only letting good friends like Busy P and Erol Alkan play it in their sets.

Thankfully, the ever-dependable Annie Mac and her BBC Radio 1 show, we now have a radio rip of this killer remix. Annie herself says that she thinks this remix is A-Trak’s best work to-date. I thank the magnificent Disco Dust for the full quality version of the remix.

For months I have said that “Heads Will Roll” was the most remixable track of ‘09, what “Kids” was in 2008. “Kids” had Justice Pet Shop Boys and Soulwax remixes to its credit, and I believe “Heads Will Roll” deserves the same quality of treatment.

Jay-Z x Phoenix – 99 Fences (Don Diablo Remix)

Ever since I saw DJ Don Diablo spin wearing a full on suit in 90+ degree weather at Chicago’s Lollaplozza (pure class) I have been in love and awed by his utter coolness (I mean come on, just look at this picture). Recently he hit the studio with Phoenix’s “Fences” and acapella of Jay Z’s “99 Problems.” Even if you are tired of the zillion “99 Problems” remixes, and over all the recent Phoenix remixes, I think you will find this mashup interesting enough to at least put it on a “party mix” (rar) or just down right love it all together!

In typical Diablo style, using stems of “Fences,” he effortlessly and smoothly blends the songs together. Overall, the song is perfectly synced though out the whole song. I’d say it’s another production knock out for Diplo. Definitely a winning combination. Get it after the jump Continue reading →

Phoenix – Fences (The Soft Pack Remix)

Phoenix Fences (The Soft Pack Remix) listenAs many eagerly await Phoenix’s Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix completely remixed album to debut, we have a remix of “Fences,” that you can’t ignore and love.

A completely innovative take on “Fences,” The Soft Pack remix diverts from the original to create an almost new song entirely. The Los Angeles (by way of San Diego) based band gives the song a “mope rock” with a trace of punk sound.

The Soft Pack on remixing “Fences”:

“Phoenix are the cool French guys. We recorded our version of “Fences” with Rob Barbato of Darker My Love. Tim from Darker My Love played the cool guitar lead. It was a fun and challenging experience.”

According to many in the music world, Phoenix has made some very good decisions this year, including this forthcoming remix album (could not agree more). The album will debut in the US digitally on October 13 via Glassnote/Loyaute. Continue reading →

Röyksopp – Tricky Ricky (ft. Fever Ray) (SALEM Remix)

Quicky: [download id="328"]

SALEM remixed Royksopp’s latest single, “Tricky Tricky” featuring Fever Ray (or Karin Dreijer Andersson) for their remix competition. nightmagnets claims SALEM’s remix was their favorite of the bunch. I am inclined to agree, but the original track is pretty great on its own.

Britney Spears – Radar (Bloodshy & Avant Remix)

Britney Spears Radar (Bloodshy & Avant Remix) mp3I posted this remix a few months ago when it first hit the web on some obscure multi-remix post. I’ve been listening to a lot of Miike Snow (Bloodshy & Avant make up 2/3 of Miike Snow) recently, which has inspired a few run-throughs of their remixes. This remix of Britney’s “Radar” is one I kept coming back to. See, Bloodshy & Avant actually produced this track for Britney, as well as the superior (and PMA favorite) “Toxic.”

It’s interesting to see Bloodshy & Avant remix themselves. I’d like to think that this remix is what Bloodshy & Avant wanted “Radar” to sound like, if Team Britney gave them complete creative control. The remix is grittier than their previous work with Britney, Madonna, or Kylie Minogue, and its not as smooth as the tunes made under the Miike Snow moniker.  Listen to it and tell me it didn’t just make “Radar” ten times better.

Quicky: [download id="324"]

Dubstep is all the rage, so naturally it’s hard to find a dubstepper who constantly delivers the goods. Super-producer Skream is one of the chosen few who has never really let me down when it comes to indie-turned-dubstep remixes. Here is his remix of Bat For Lashes’ “Pearl’s Dream.”
