Remix Sunday

I have much respect for the art of remixing. Keeping the good elements of a song, then bringing it to amazing new levels. Here are two fine examples.

The first comes to us from Amsterdam's Don Diablo, who takes a mellow track from UK's One eskimO and turns it into a gorgeous, 96-bpm electro one.

The second is a classic track from one of my favorite bands out there - Yeah Yeah Yeahs. We've all heard this song plenty of times. But the way that UK's Elite Force lays beautiful orchestrations on top of banging electro beats gets a serious tip of the cap from me.
