The Art Of The Remix

On that vein, let me also mention Tony Humphries’ remix of Leash Called Love. This has never ever failed me on a dance floor, it’s such a great track, and I make sure to play it all the way up until the awesome synth solo. Wrongly credited to Todd Terry on the release, this is Tony at his finest.

Epic. Rinsed that to death

Yoyo. I fixed the edit. You just take the url from the top bar and then copy it onto a new line (I think!) : )

A flipping brilliant remix.

Thanks! Also just noticed my original link wasn’t even for the remix I intended, fixed it now. Haven’t been on a forum for about a decade, so I’m a bit rusty I guess :))

Can’t have a remix thread without mentioning Aphex Twin…again so many to choose from, but this is one of my top ones…

Large professor is so nice that he crushed this TWICE with beats that are evocative of totally different moods.

A 12 out of 10 vocal performance with a 6 out of 10 beat- Vinyl Reanimators handled that and then kind of disappeared.

Inescapable for an entire year.

Headphones, backpack, North Face and a box cutter 5 boro trooping soundtrack. You can’t even listen to the original after you hear this.

A grand master one-ups another, I wish I could have seen Showbiz’s face when Premier turned this in.

A career saver/sign of things to come.

Pete Rock remix of PE is fantastic.

I always thought this was a great example of taking a track somewhere else whilst being recognisable to the original.

Speaking of Prince Paul - this “So Beautiful Remix” of Blue Flowers is all time for me…

Maybe not remixes, more along the lines of definitive versions, but both of these imho represent the absolute pinnacle of the art.

Love that.

The original was good but Derrick Carter & Chris Nazuka’s remix doubles the track length & turns it into a moody, funky, churchy epic.

Just found this in the job lot I’m working my way through, another Carl Craig Classic.
