When I first got this song, I gave it a listen but, to be honest, a remix of a Katy Perry song I didn’t know didn’t really intrigue me. So I put it on the backburner. Then the other day I was multitasking with some music playing in the background on my Soundcloud and a track came on that I didn’t know. I remember thinking to myself, “What is this and why have I not heard this before? This is great.” Lo and behold it was the Katy Perry track I originally skipped over. Once I ignored the fact that it was her and just another great Megaman/Panic City remix, I totally dug it.

Check out my other post about these guys here with their Journey remix.

So yeah I posted the same song on Friday, but with Hype Machine being down and not working right, I don’t think it got to enough people. And I’m digging this song quite a bit. I’ve just recently gotten into these guys and the remixes make it a nice transition going from dance music to this. Also, on Friday, I kept my post pretty short. Good thing too because I ended up falling asleep for 3 hours immediately after posting. Woops. That’s what I get for staying out late on a work night.

Anyway, I woke up early on Saturday morning to try and get tickets to the Virgin Mobile Freefest in Baltimore this September. After dealing with the frustration of Ticketfly, I actually was able to get my free tickets to the show. These guys will be there as well a bunch of other big names. I believe Ludacris is headlining and I can’t wait. Seeing Luda would complete my rap trifecta of artists I felt were necessary to see: Jay-Z, Busta Rhymes, and now Luda. Check out the whole line up here including Edward Sharpe, MIA, and many more that often appear on the Hype Machine.

I was out till 2AM last night and had work at 7:45 this morning. Needless to say, it’s time to crash. I leave you to begin your weekend with this: a remix of Desert Song by Edward Sharpe And The Magnetic Zeros. I think it now has a Radiohead feel. Your thoughts? (Yeah, short and sweet so now I can nap before heading our again tonight)

So I was in a club last night and amongst all the hard hitting bass, hip hop, and dance beats, the DJ put on Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believin’.” I had never realized just how appropriate it really was for a club. The natural build of the song and the nostalgic value that many have placed on it lend it perfectly to create that euphoric moment on the floor when everyone is feeling the song. However, it does at times need something a little extra and that’s exactly what Megaman and Panic City have done. They kept the integrity of Journey but added just enough to transition well between other songs and add the slightest of depth. When listening to this song by itself, I could do without the intro portion but I understand that it is there for a smooth transition when used in a DJ set. O, yeah, and as for Fatman Scoop… Well, I can never get enough Fatman Scoop. This track is the all time top seller on crack4djs.net and I can easily understand why.

When is a remix no longer a remix but rather a brand new song? I mean, where is the Kanye part of this song. I think I’ve heard the original Power ft. Dwele, but I think this should be called Oh Snap!! – Super Power (ft. Kanye West). Nonetheless, I totally dig this “remix” for its own sound. My opinion has nothing to do with comparing this to the original. Oh Snap!!’s power in Power is so forceful. Is it danceable? Maybe, not sure. Is it fun? absolutely!

So the video for remix for DJ Khaled’s “All I Do Is Win” is now out (available below) and I really am not feeling this remix. First off, it’s clearly a Ciroc ad and the emcees on are somewhat questionable. Not all of them though. Busta can still spit rhymes faster than I can even process thoughts sometimes. However, it’s unfortunate he’s at the beginning with Diddy and Minaj to follow and leave me with a bad taste in my mouth.

So I did the next best thing. I took Busta’s verse and added it to the original “All I Do Is Win.” I know some of you won’t like me for that because I did cut down Snoop’s verse to comfortably fit in Busta’s verse. However, in my opinion, it doesn’t get much better than Luda and Busta on the same track.

Oh yeah and Ciroc is Diddy’s vodka which is why he’s there (in case you didn’t know). I guess he was upset that Luda repped his cognac (Conjure) in the original mix. Anyway, here’s my personal “re-mixing” of “All I Do Is Win.”

P.S. – Didn’t your director tell you guys not to wear reflective glasses because we can see all the lighting in them and it’s really distracting. That may be a bit picky but that’s what happens when I come from a film background.

Sometimes a remix can make a song I really don’t like bearable. I guess what I mean is I really really do not like Trey Songz song “Say Aah.” However, with this Twerkshop remix, it’s so much more bearable. I might even say I like it… Ha. But in all seriousness, I do enjoy this reworking of the song and it’s perfect for the start of the weekend.

Check out more of Twerkshop’s work here.

So I know the original version of this song has both a really big base of fans and really a big base haters. I, however, am very much a fan. And, to be honest, so are a lot of you considering just how well my first post of it did on HypeM. Anyway, here’s a remix that was sent to me somewhat recently and I really like it. It doesn’t take away from the song. It just adds enough to play it in a club, or at a party. I gotta say, I totally dig it. I know some of you out there aren’t going to like it and that’s fine, but next time anyone comes to my parties, this will definitely be on the playlist.

So yeah, I’ve been on bit of a Hoodie Allen binge lately. And for good reason: Hoodie Allen is killing it! Anyway, here is a remix of, well… a Mike Posner song? No, wait, an ELO song? Mike Posner remixing ELO? Or maybe covering ELO?

Uh, I think this can be counted as a Hoodie Allen remix to a Mike Posner song that samples, and is the same name as, an Electric Light Orchestra song. Yeah, that sounds like the most accurate description.

It’s easy lose track of the evolution of a song. Just look at yesterday’s post. Also be sure to check out more Hoodie Allen here.

Check out this remix of Ani DiFranco’s “Back Back Back” by Liam Dirlam aka VOODOO FARM, a young up-and-comer out of NYC. Just like I told VOODOO FARM, I’m not familiar with DiFranco’s work but I’m digging this remix. All I know is that she’s a folk artist with 19 studio albums, but after this, I’d say more she lends herself to be a dance artist as well.

“Back Back Back” is originally from Difranco’s 1999 album To The Teeth. Check out more of VOODOO FARM on soundcloud. Below is a visual art-piece created by Liam for the remix.
