Best electro songs/remixes I discovered lately *2*
26 May 2008, 19:28
1.
Sahib Balkan (Shameboy Remix)
Seriously, this remix doesn't get the attention it deserves. Holy fuck I was amazed by Shameboy's new album, but didn't know they made that great remixes. If you need the MP3 for this song, send me a message, you won't regret ;p
2.Heartcore
Again shameboy can amaze me with their latest single 'Heartcore' (make sure you check out the video clip too)
The peak in this song is definately 00:50, it makes me even think of the solo in
Aerodynamic by Daft Punk.
3. You Can't Always Get What You Want (Soulwax Remix)
Oh yes, am I proud to be belgian, what a great (electro) bands do we have. Soulwax pulled off another great remix, now they remixed The Rolling Stones(!). Mixing The Stones probably wasn't the easiest thing to do, but no challenge is too big for Soulwax.
4.
Oh!
I'm ashamed that I haven't discovered this artist/track earlier. But I'm glad I know him now. Oh! is my personal favourite by Boys Noize. My ears hurt everytime I listen to this, I mean this in a good way though. The bass that start 0:31 is so fucking awesome.
5.Better Living Through Chemistry (Streetlife Djs Remix)
Anyone ever heard of Streetlife DJs? No? Well me neither, but it's worth listening. Great remix.

5 Best electro songs/remixes I discovered lately
15 Jan 2008, 21:31
THESE ARE MY OPINIONS
1. Justice - Phantom Pt. II (Soulwax Remix)
This deserves definately a n°1 place for me. I like Justice's original version as well, but for me its too chaotic. Soulwax has put all the beats in a right way and improved the song a lot. Most Of The Remixes is my favourite album of 2007
2.
No Fun
The 'melody' on this song is just awesome and probably makes the crowd go wild when played live :p. Vitalic had a big impac in my music taste. Couldn't really choose between No Fun and
My Friend Dario
3. DJ Shadow - Six Days (Soulwax Remix)
Once again, Soulwax could change my opinion about a song.
I found
Six Days a pretty boring song at first. Soulwax sped up the song, and put a nice guitar tune in it, what totally changed my opinion about the song and DJ Shadow Pretty Awesome remix.
4.
Bring It On
Goose. What an awesome band is this. If you read this journal, and don't know Goose SHAME ON YOU. Go download some stuff.
I couldnt really choose a song from this band, so I chose their latest single, from their album Bring It On.
5. Waters Of Nazareth (Erol Alkan Remix)
Pretty decent remix by Erol Alkan. Check it out if you havent checked it out yet.
