I knew a couple summers ago when I heard an electro remix of a Red Hot Chili Peppers song that the fusion of many styles with electronic would occur in the coming years. This year a lot of remixes have popped up bridging oldies rock with electronic in ways I’m sure many people thought undesirable. The best part is, remixes like these have gone a long way to popularize electro and house in North America – I say its about time we caught up with the rest of the world.
So without further delay, and in no particular order, here are my ten favourite classic rock remixes of 2008!
