I so dig the remixes by Streetlab from NY. Swing by their myspace page for a killer dance remix of Hot Chip’s “One Pure Thought”

Streetlab Bio (taken from Streelab.net):

Streetlab is an electronic rock music duo from Brooklyn formed in late 2001 by Mark Lamorg (coZ) and Ryan Leary. Taking the role as in-studio producers and songwriters, the two began by remixing classic rock tracks with the dance-floor in mind. Both being raised on the alternative rock scene of the early 90’s, the two attempt to erase the line between the two genres – making music that appeals to both rockers and dancers. After receiving support from Radio1’s Annie Nightingale for their remix of Led Zeppelin’s The Immigrant Song in 2005, the two began releasing various classic rock remixes underground, inspiring indie-rock label Kanine Records. Streetlab contributed remixes to their catalog for 2 of their artists: Mixel Pixel and Professor Murder.

Still residing in Brooklyn, the two have currently been remixing and producing for artists in and out of the New York City area. Some of their most recent work includes remixes for the record labels Astralwerks and Invisible Records. The two also contributed a remix to The Limitless Potential, an open source remix compilation of Nine Inch Nails songs from the album Year Zero. Their remix of The Rolling Stones classic “Gimme Shelter” can be heard in many stores around the United States.

Don Juan Dracula -Take Me Home (ft Sally Shapiro)(Johan Agebjorn remix)

Sweden’s very own Johan Agebjorn lends his hand at remixing this track that was originally released by Don Juan Dracula back in 2005 and gets some help with added vocals from Sally Shapiro. The original track was a little too angst ridden for me, but this remix takes it to more of a synthpop arena, which I love.

Tracey Thorn – Kings Cross (Hot Chip Remix)

I love the electronic Everything but the Girl (EBTG) albums (wasn’t a big fan of the acoustic pop albums, but that’s just me) , I love most of the remixes by Ben Watt (one half of EBTG) , but I wasn’t really taken by Tracey’s solo album. Don’t get me wrong, there are several tracks I like, but I don’t exactly love them. What I do love is Tracey’s voice. With that said, this Hot Chip remix of Tracey’s Kings Cross is brilliant, dark, and overall moving. I love the detuning of notes that hits around the 5:55 mark of this track.
