Remix.


Long, long has the art of remixing produced either absolute genius or absolute cack. The former surely has to describe SebastiAn's remix of "I Still Remember". Taking a simple, stylised electro backbeat and the juxtaposition of Kele's slightly strained vocals over the top whilst simple, lyrical refrains battle across the top means that a dance floor friendly classic has had a revamp for the better.
Adding to this DiscoTech's Rolling Stones rework, Soulwax's Beatles vamp, MSTRFKT's All Saints mess-a-bout and anything Twelves get their hands on and it's smooth, disco sailing from there.
Even R Kelly get's the remix treatment with Alex Rage's Ignition remix- best song ever? I think you'll find that is so!
