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.

Thank god it’s the end of the week and the beginning of a lonnnngg 3 day weekend. (for those of you in the United States)
I just heard a little snippet preview of your favorite Belgiumians Soulwax‘ remix of LCD Soundsystem’s “Get Innocuous” and it’s SOO DISCO ACE!! I’ll post it as soon as I can get my slimy fingers on that wax goodness.
But right now I’m packing for a short little flight up to Sacramento for a nice weekend alas no worrriiiez, daddy tuftsmania is gonna leave you guys with a little some’some.
Here’s a track…. something that you’ll just have to embrace. It’s part of life.
Supermayer, hailing from Germany, really bleeds a Deutsche sound… I don’t know why but it’s very quirky a’la Stereo Total.
Supermayer - The Art of Letting Go
Kris Menace is my new hero. I had heard his tracks in the past, but he really blew my mind on the Lumberjack track with Alan Braxe (which I was totally psyched over). And now here we have an awesome remix of the Midnight Juggernauts that fluokids recently dropped on my ass. Bring the electro house!! Also check that fluokids link for more disco than your little pacemaker-aided heart can handle (ladyhawke!!)
Midnight Juggernauts - Out of the Storm (Kris Menace Magic Touch)
Lastly, what do we have here? WTF!PARIS. That’s right, another killer track from fucking parisians. I don’t know what it is, but for some reason, french bands that sing in english just get me hooked. Stuck in Sound aren’t quite electro/techno, but follow more closely along the lines of heavy disco/punk. The pulsating bass line and piercing/stabbing high-overdrive guitars hit it so well in this track. BEASTTTLY FRENCH.
boooyaa.
paris.
(ps: remix? is anybody there?)
