MSTRKRFT, Soulwax, Midnight Juggernauts… it seems like anything these guys remix has high replay value –even if the original track sucked.

Proof:

Usher – Love in this club (MSTRKRFT ‘picks up the pieces’ remix)

Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.

– The original made me break my speakers –had to go out and purchase new ones in order to listen to the MSTRKRFT remix. The remix made me feel less pissed off at the original version.

LCD Soundsystem – Get Innocuous (Soulwax ‘what they should have done’ remix)

Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.

– The original was minimal, shitty, and it put me to sleep. The Soulwax remix remains along the same vein –except it’s minimal, awesome, and keeps me awake. very important. (i’m really down with minimal, actually. Just not when it sucks.)

***CSS – Left Behind (midnight juggernauts ‘all we have to do is look at it’ remix)***

Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.

– I have only listened to CSS remixes. I am pretty sure their original tracks don’t even exist.

***the stars mean you should listen to it more than once. many times. and it’s not that shitty transcode that’s been floating around.

This is my challenge: to MSTRKRFT, Soulwax, Midnight Juggernauts, and anyone else….

MAKE KANYE WEST’S LATEST VOCODERED FUCK UP OF A TRACK UN-SUCK. Is this track not salvageable in any way?

I haven’t found one yet. I’ve heard them all up until right now so…. still no. we need some MIDAS-style touching up in here.

    Is that the piano melody from Eric Clapton’s Layla in the mstrkrft usher mix?

    Wow.

    I don’t know whether to break down emotionally at such an emotive use of chord structure or neck some pills.

    i was just notified by high authorities (HR and O) that the usher remix is contraband. i killed the link for download (but you can still press play)
