Remix corner
In which we find some of my favourite upcoming singles, retooled by some of the nation’s foremost knob twiddlers.
:: The Ting Tings – A Great DJ (Calvin Harris mix)
Sproingy disco beats + shouty chorus = arms-aloft party anthem.
:: Duffy – Mercy (Thankful mix)
Better because it is longer.
:: Kylie – Wow (CSS remix)
This doesn’t add much, save a few synth noises and a cowbell, but it frames Kylie’s vocals much more sympathetically than the original.
:: Snoop Dogg – Sexual Eruption (Fyre Department mix feat Robyn)
Yes, that Robyn! She’s turned Snoop’s superfly 70s porno talkbox ballad into a europop 90s porno talkbox ballad. “Snoop Dogg, I’m going to sex you up,” she trills. Amazing.
:: Janet – Feedback (various remixes)
The R&B; one, the dance one, the Timbaland one. They’re all here.
