One of my favorite Japanese exports (other than denim of course) are the 80Kidz. They keep remixing tracks that I love and give me reason to renew my relationship with many different songs. I figured it only makes sense for me to put the spotlight on this group of remixers who have done some very creative remixes and originals. I love the fact that their remixes aren’t predictable or formulaic. They vary their style and approach giving every song a unique feeling.

I love what they did with the Pirates of the Caribbean theme on He’s A Pirate. Their remix of The Shoes – Knock Out has been a favorite since I first heard it. Cold Dust Girl is on a completely different tip but is also my favorite out of this group of remixes (those of you who have been reading and listening will clearly understand why it tickles my fancy). The most interesting track is the piano version of Life Begins @ 80, it very clearly demonstrates the simplicity of melodies and riffs in electronic music due to the emphasis on compression, mixing, and layering to round out the sound.

The Black Kids’ “I’m Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend How To Dance With You” has made waves over the past year and into 2009. It’s been reworked by the Twelves to feature Lil’ Wayne. Great tracks continue to get remixed and pop up once again when you least expected it. This song may not teach your boyfriend how to dance, but it has had me dancing to every version I hear. Today I bring you a compilation that includes Twelves track (the “default” remix over the past months), the original, and the 80Kidz remix that popped up more recently. I really like the live feel that it has and its definitely getting a lot of iPod Love. And why not drop in a couple bonus tracks while I’m at it, check out the Twelves Remix of Hurricane Jane… more importantly let me know what you think about 80Kidz remix of The Shoes “Knock Out” because I immediately marked it when it played on my iPod today
