Anything they touch will turn to gold?

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)

- 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)

- 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)***

- 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.
