The Remix Game got together a handful of fairly-known electronic artists back in ’07 to remix Bitter:Sweet’s original album, The Mating Game. With one of the sexiest voices I’ve ever heard, Shana Halligan’s vocals layered with these downtempo vibes make this prone to a somber groove with someone special. Make sure to give the full album a play, but here’s a few of my finest selections.
Bittersweet Faith (Thievery Corporation Remix):
This is the song that turned me on to Bitter:Sweet and damn am I still turned on.

Overdue (Blackbeard Remix):
Sexiest. Breakup. Song. Ever.

The Mating Game (Yes King Remix):
Now this sounds like a familiar tune. I know a few Bitter:Sweet tracks have been featured in TV/films.
Love what Yes King did with this, the Brass mixes well with Shana’s sultry.
