A New Way to Bite Queen’s Dust (Queen Remix Inside)
I have previously featured Mercurius FM’s work on the site. He has been producing remixes of some awesome groups and I am anticipating a couple of upcoming tracks he has mentioned plans to remix. For now I have his latest track, an uptempo remix of Queen’s classic “Another One Bites the Dust”. As an artist who believe a remix should maintain the heart of...

Electro, B’More, Blended Banger
(Bay area STAND UP!) I have recently noticed the amount of B’more influenced Electro that has been bursting onto the scene. B’more club music has always been one of the more funky forms of electronic music out there. I recently came across a remix which berry accurately characterizes what I am getting at. This remix takes on the Hip Hop track I Go 5 On It and pairs...

Glitchy Beatles and Fidgety Prodigy
This Beatles remix truly begs the question, why is it called a remix when it bares no resemblance to the original and the vocal sample is unrecognizable? More on this question in later posts because the difference in the “remix” vs. “original” definition in Hip Hop and House based on sampling intrigues me. The Prodigy Remix is a solid track that I think...

Finally 3 High Quality Love Lockdown Remixes
(A short, personal Kanye interview) Love Lockdown was one of the most remixed songs of 2008. A lot of those remixes were sloppy, many of them were unoriginal, and I wasn’t a fan of most of them. The Chew Fu remix became one of the accepted bests, however, it still never blew me away. Perhaps, to a certain extent this remix culture that the internet has fostered, the same...

Ain’t No Such Thing as Halfway Crooks
I will keep this brief. Not much needs to be said about this remix. Shook Ones by Mobb Deep is one of the biggest Hip Hop songs to ever be released. Turning Shook Ones into an electro track is a huge undertaking, one which could result in a tremendous let down, but this remix is BOMB! It’s tremendously impressive that DJ Fashen’s remix does this legendary track...

Clowns, Elephants, and Freak Shows
Britney Spears has had one hell of a year. She’s come back from the fringes of Hollywood’s insane asylum to retake her position in the limelight. I am not surprised that she feels as if she is in a circus. With all that has happened to her and her family over the last few years it is no wondering that the princess of pop is back with a vengeance to try and claim her...

Aoki and JFK move the 905!
Steve Aoki was in Burlington Ontario last night. For those of you who have no idea where Burlington is, I don’t blame you. For those of you who do, I am sure you are asking yourselves, “since when do big Electro DJs take over Burlington?” Last night Steve Aoki brought the 416 to the 905 to shut down Zu Bar, a club just off the QEW. The night opened up with...
