Best of 2011: Part 2 (Remixes)

PART TWO.. Back here with my favourite characteristic/thing/area of the music industry REMIXES!!


Anyone can put their creativity to the test and come up with some tasty beats/cuts/filters that put a different spin to the original track.. And its all time.


Yep everyone loves a delicious froffy remix and here are ten that stood out for me in the year that was 2011.


But first of all, REMIX OF THE YEAR..

*Plastic Plates has been an absolute standout for the year. He pushed out a large number of top quality remixes, not one was bad.. He is a freak.. It wasnt rare or odd to see his remixes being better than the actual original tracks.. Big Ups to this man. Cant wait for your 2012*


Rest are in no particular order



Download New Navy Zimbabwe (Flume Remix)
*Once again.. a big fuck you to commercial shit.. Flumes sound is so fucking amazing. Cant stop listening to this one*



Download Jeremy Glenn New Life (Perseus 'Summer of 83' Remix)
*So Chilled, so good, so 2pm poolside froffies*



Download Mark Ronson & The Business Intl Record Collection (Perseus Remix)
*#2 for this lad.. Unlike the other remixes in the EP he keeps all the lyrics and adds a touch of sunset*



Download Friendly Fires Hurting (Tensnake Remix)
*Im not sure this one has actually been released yet. This is only a 192.. but whatever. Makes this track so fun and dancey. Almost my number one for the year*



Download Foster The People Call It What You Want (Treasure Fingers Remix)
*Still keeps so much of the original track but more punchy.. Preparty in a chunnne*



Download Clubfeet Last Words (The C90s Remix)
*Dance, Dance, Dancier than the original, faster, and with those lyrics is a match made in heaven. This isnt their only good remix either. Suss the C90s*



Download Graz Edits Afrika (GRAZ edit) 3rd version
*uhhh Amazziinngg track. Dunno what the non-edit is like but this track is palm trees, smiles and bongos. I guarantee you no one knows this track, its brilliant*



Download Niki & The Dove Mother Protect (Goldroom Remix)
*Has never done a bad remix and this one was his best.. I heard this and frothed super hard when i was in bali, at the supper club, with The Twelves.. Holy shit.. 10s*



Download Poolside Do You Believe (Goldroom Remix)
*This was second best and still made the top 10.. The cutups in the pianos are something to idolise.. Goldroom you my man are the man*

What So Not

Lads and lasses... I introduce to you What So Not..


Its a funky dancey moombah-ish collaboration between two great young/fresh producers out of Sydney - Flume & Emoh Instead... You may have caught Flume's stuff recently.. on this blog like 1000 times.. his the fucking man..


This is completely different - way more upbeat and party with lots of sounds going on.. you know your kind of festival / 3am stuff... I think every bastard will be dropping '7 Dollar Bill' at some point. You'll find the right time and place for it...


Defiantly also check 'Love Theme' thats rad.

Also heres a better than average Mashup they recently did.. Download it. Those Neon Indian synths are freakking saaweeet.

PERSEUS

I tell you what.. Im onto this man. I am bloody on him.


I love his sound. His remixes and now originals are second to none. With every track my ears are in constant orgasmic surrounding filled with astonishment and pleasure... so much pleasure.


This man, Perseus, could defiantly, quite easily, fit two or more tracks in my top 10 of the year.. Get onto him.


Here are some tropical and 'sexual' originals that have been given away just before the big man arrives, Santa that is....

French Kiss Collective

New EP here from some disco loving lads, French Kiss Collective - White Lightning... Features three tracks with a nudisco banger by Falcon Punch, entitled 'Foreplay'.


They have used some great samples in this EP so grab a listen and im sure you'll recognise some of the tracks. There catchy as fuck.


Also. big ups for the Nu Shooz Remix! Those loops and filters just keep giving.


Fun fact.. pretty sure im right.. not entirely... Xinobi recently used some of those samples on his track 'Best Of Me' which featured local Mornington Peninsula lad Josh Jakq.

Young Edits - December Edits

Posted this lad a few months ago on his sweet little EP featuring edits for Kanye and James Blake.... And again his back with a bunch of free edits for the holiday festivities of December.


If you don't know this man yet he makes edits that are easy to listen to that have a distinctive 80s sound. 


My favourites are the Boy George and ABC edits..

Miike Snow - Devils Work

Fuck me. Am i fan of this band or what. Ever since 'Animal' i have lost my shit on pretty much every track.. They would be top 3 in my mind.


Now.. 'Devils Work'.. Bouncy - Piano Riffs - Andrew Wyatt - Bannnggger..


Its like a rave-y version of 'Silvia' .. I suspect these guys could be making headlines with their upcoming album.

Download Miike Snow Devil's Work


Also from way back.. Mark Ronsons Reggae remix of 'Animal'
