  • The Whitest Boy Alive – 1517 (Morgan Geist Remix)

    morgangeist

    The Original track can be found on the 2009 release, named “Rules”.   The Whitest Boy Alive (aka Erlend Oye and friends) gets the remix treatment from the very talented Morgan Geist (one half of Metro Area).   Morgan takes a striped down approach on this track with a minimal arrangement and warm bassline throughout.   Erlend’s voice always seem to sit nicely within a bed of electronics, too bad his group decided to put away the synths, but alas we can always depend on a good remixers to fill the void.

  • Remixes: Pixie Lott – Mama Do (Linus Loves Radio Edit Remix)

    linusloves

    Linus Loves has taken a very straight up top 40 pop track   and given it some edge with his remix.   Has a little bit of that late 90’s UK garage sound on the track.

    Another remix I’ve been playing quite a bit of is Calvin Harris’s remix of Passion Pit’s, “The Reeling”.   Calvin has take a more of a funky house approach to the track.

  • Friendly Fires – Paris (ft Au Revoir Simone – Aeroplane Remix)

    friendlyfires

    So how do you know a good remix from a bad one?   Well, a mark of a great remix is when you prefer it too the original, which is the case with this wonderfully crafted remix by Aeroplane.   They even replaced the main vocals from Friendly Fires lead vocalist, Ed Macfarlane with   Au Revoir Simone.

    Lyrics to Paris :
    One day we’re gonna live in Paris
    I promise
    I’m on it
    When I’m bringing in the money
    I promise
    I’m on it
    I’m gonna take you out to club showcase
    We’re gonna live it up
    I promise
    Just hold on a little more

    And every night we’ll watch the stars
    They’ll be out for us
    They’ll be out for us
    And every night, the city lights
    They’ll be out for us
    They’ll be out for us

    One day we’re gonna live in Paris
    I promise
    I’m on it
    I’ll find you that French boy,
    You’ll find me that French girl
    I promise
    I’m on it

    So go and pack your bags
    For the long haul
    We’re gonna lose ourselves
    I promise
    This time it’s you and me for evermore

    And every night we’ll watch the stars
    They’ll be out for us
    They’ll be out for us
    And every night, the city lights
    They’ll be out for us
    They’ll be out for us

    And every night we’ll watch the stars
    They’ll be out for us
    They’ll be out for us
    And every night, the city lights
    They’ll be out for us
    They’ll be out for us
