R3hab’s electro bass buzzer takes Rihanna’s “We Found Love” and pushes it to a whole different dance level. Strangely, I get some Halloween vibes from it and even a few Matrix ones too, but I’ve always been attracted to the weirdness in music.

I’m surprised I haven’t heard a dubstep // glitch-hop remix of “Jump” yet. It had to be one of the top one-hit-wonders of the 90’s and defined the style for a while.
In The Bolivian Marching Affair’s (TMBA) remix of “Jump,” the electro gunplay hits right from the start. With outlandish breaks & glitches, this really shows where music is heading, for better or worse. However, to all those who don’t understand it, try to remember that this style of music is more about feeling it than actually listening to it (which is true, to a certain point, for all music).

Mochipet’s griddy remix of “Bombtrack” starts off a bit slow, but gets messy soon after. Rage was made to be remixed in this glitch-hop, dub-steppy mess we call 2011 and Mochipet takes full advantage.

Caught this from mr. marc at MFJ and damn does it bang. I don’t really listen to mixtapes very often (gotta kick that habit), but this got me from the very first touch.
I’ve already listed to eSQUIRE & Di Scala’s “Slightest Touch” about a half dozen times and those vocals are getting more & more ge.orge.ous (gorgeous) every single one of ’em! Check it out below, as well as a few other favorites, and get yo party faces uh pumpin’ (or pumpkin for the season).

Another dirty little lazer crunk piece from the Love and Light crew – this time featuring his Royal Badness, Prince. These lazer gunslingers have remixed Prince’s “Seven” with glitch love and lazer light. Shit starts off with a bang, gets a bit monotonous with the vocal breaks towards the middle, but ends it all with one last romp around with those prestigious Prince vocals. <3Lazer View Full Article »

Wow. When Birdy hits that high note @1:06, it feels like a dream. Or at least something out of a picturesque scene in a film – you know, when the lonely boy flashes back to his first girlfriend dancing in the summer green grass in slow motion, next to Boo Radley’s tree… minus the last part. Unfortunately, it all goes downhill from there.
I love my breakbeats and heavy drums, but this “Skinny Love” remix needs to stay in the high & mighty. Owsey goes into some glitchy bass work, which may not be half bad, but really doesn’t fit well here. Like I said before, this piece feels like a nostalgic dreamscape and the only place for glitch and bass is […]

This isn’t Figure’s best Halloween remake this year, that’d go to his Beetlejuice Dubstep Mix, but damn does this bring me back. “The Nightmare Before Christmas” is my faaaavorite Halloween movie, that and “Young Frankenstein,” and it’s interesting to hear a dubstep take on the movies’ theme song. Dubstep really was made for such goolish jams like this!
Wick-it does a number on this MJ classic, however, I do get mixed feelings at times. On the one hand, he’s got the drops down with a good, long coast that lasts – on the other hand, I felt he didn’t push the power in MJ’s vocals enough, not giving the buildup it’s necessary oomph.
Be as it may, it’s still a healthy remix for the Autumn season + I’m always up to hear those sweet, sweet vocals of Michael’s <3 View Full Article »

Disco Tech’s edit of Jim Carrey’s hilarious karaoke bit in The Cable Guy is a bit of brilliance. Not only does it bop along quite nicely, but the short intermissions that I’m guessing he improv’d are straight up classic Carrey oneliners.
More DJ’s gotta hop this bandwagon and remix their favorite sing-alongs from a movie or television show. I’ve been follow Disco Tech for a month or so, don’t confuse him with the group DiscoTech, and he’s puts out some real interesting stuff lately.

In this bass rollover of Timberlake’s “Cry Me A River,” Telmini twists Justin’s “dreamy” vocals into a hypnotic, bass coiling beast. My only issues may be the drops – I like ’em one minute and not so much the next.
An Awesome remix, nonetheless.
