Club night

So i've spent the last couple of days addicted to some of my favourite remixes, mainly fuelled by listening to Hidden Fortress work. I never used to be a big fan of song remixes, and, when done badly they can ruin a good song, but sometimes they really can not only add to the dance factor but to the feel of the song as a whole. The three tracks below should hopefully give you an example of what i mean. Don't just disregard them at first listen, give them a proper go, see what you think =)


# Chemistry (Drumhammer remix) - Semisonic

As found on the Chemistry single this song has become one of my all time favourites (okay theres quite a lot but it's still a good thing :P). It takes what was a good song before and really enhances the the sound of it, bringing the guitar and drums really to the fore. Of course, it's no longer a Semisonic album track, but i really think it's a great evolution of the original idea.


# Where's The Pleasure? (Bimbo Jones Vox Mix) - Protocol

I fell in love with the original song rather quickly, but this wonderful b-side has come to replace it's play-time on my computer. What we have here is the same song (shockingly) and like Chemistry the sound has been enhanced, but with less alterations to the main song. With of course the *slight* overall extension to eight and a half minutes! It's got the exact same focus and spirit of the original, just with a more enhanced beat and rocking-ness!


# Dance, Dance (Patrick Stump Secret Agent Mix) - Fall Out Boy

As if i hadn't already sold you the idea of buying singles then here we have another fine example. The two Sugar, We're Goin' Down releases gave us two 'new' tracks and this strange little remix. Now i'll admit, when i first heard this i was like "what?!" and really, really thought it'd never see light of day again. However, after hearing Dance, Dance at Zest monday, i decided to randomly give it another go. And it's really become oddly addictive. It's got such a strange, slightly haunting twist. The same great song is hidden under some very odd layers. Very very odd. But definately a uniquely refreshing twist to 'standard' FoB.
