This remix compilation holds a special place in both mine and a friends heart. It takes us back to lazy summers as we were growing up, no care in the world and nothing more than a childish sense of adventure. Recently the album got dug out and it came to my attention these remixes are incredible! We had good taste that i could only dream about having now!
Below is a selection of Sugar Hill Gang remixes we were bumpin’ all day into those hot summer nights. If you love them as much as we did and still do, then please go buy the Sugar Hill Gang remix compilation here. (Theres an awesome Red Snapper Remix on it too)

Snatch 007 is coming out soon and its by the incredible Pirupa. I personally enjoy House Feeling more than The Leader with its driving tribal edge. Pirupa himself however, has released a range of music on a wide variety of labels including, Cecille, VIVa MUSiC, Defected, Size, Noir, Audio Therapy, Suara and Cr2, and already has singles pencilled in for Saved, Rebirth and of course this two track E.P. for Riva Starr’s Snatch! Records. Have a listen and let us know what you think. If you loved House feeling as much as myself go pick it up when its released!

Roots Manuva also known by his mum as Rodney Smith, Dropped this gem back on September 20th. It was an exclusive track for the Ninja Tune 20th anniversary box set release – Ninja Tune XX. I won’t say what the video reminds me of as it’ll probably ruin it for you, but the track itself is real nice.

Night Hunter / 502

So a lot of you have probably heard the news, but if not Oneman has started up a label 502 Records, and yesterday the first release became available on digital after a big launch on wax…

You’ve probably heard this out somewhere already, and with support from a whole host of big names, Fis-T is name to watch out for, as FACT magazine put it, he’s ‘reclaimed the wobble for the good guys’. Just when you thought it wasn’t safe to reach for the LFO, a track like this comes along…

Her name is Dot, she is smaller than a centimeter, and this is the smallest stop frame animation in the world. It’s also celebrating technology that can save lives. Be sure to check out the making of video afterwards!

Mastiksoul – El Macho (Loko Remix) (Download)

Radio Slave – I Don’t Need A Cure For This (Kenny Larkin Remix) Download)
Radio Slave recently dropped ‘I Don’t Need A Cure For This’ and with it an incredible remix by Kenny Larkin. It builds and drops subtly, and with it creating atmosphere. The piano samples scattered through out add a hint of a jazzy trip hop, like that of the Herbaliser, but not enough that it gives way to its House groove. Such a good track! Buy the whole E.P. its well worth it.

Den Ishu & Superlounge – Neo Nine (Phonique remix)

After successful first releases with Audiofly and Alex Niggemann – and the support of top artists like Richie Hawtin, Radio Slave, Timo Maas, Jimpster and Anja Schneider, to name a few – Berlin’s Soulfooled label is about to put the icing on the cake with their third EP ‘SLFD003′ this time featuring Pokerflat producer David Durango and a slick studio collaboration between Soulfooled co-owner Superlounge and their friend Den Ishu (Desolat).

Following his spectacular remix for Alex Niggemann’s “Jewels”, Soulfooled welcomes David Durango for his first release on the label. “Walk in your Skin” is an entrancing summer’s-end affair. The groove here is deep and rippling beneath velvety organic chords. An exotic flute flutters in and out, creating a darkly mysterious ambience balance by languid rhythms and alluring melodies. Awesome.

On the remix, Soulfooled’s leading talent Terje Bakke offers up “Walk in your Skin” with a straighter 4/4 treatment. Bakke has built up the percussive elements and added an unexpected 70s funk melody that breaks into the middle of the track, adding a nice counter harmony. Makes me want to catch the Soul Train! Bakke has dressed it up in tech house trimmings while preserving all the warm, tasty elements from the original for a perfect dancefloor burner.

“Neo 9″ is a collaboration between Superlounge and Den Ishu, It gets a clubby makeover in the remix thanks to Berlin’s master of genre-melting, forward thinking club grooves – “Mr Deep” himself – Phonique! It’s all about vocals, bass and that rhodes taking center stage here. Clubby but smooth and sophisticated too – like a good house track should be.

If you still fail to see how good a track it could be after reading that, then listen to a couple of the tracks above and then go buy the E.P. It’s Solid and already been charted by Reboot, Lee Jones and Sascha Dive. A Lovely Selection of house jams.

There are a few good remixes i’ve heard recently, which i’ve enjoyed but they haven’t warranted a post in themselves. The time has come though for me to throw them into one post however, and from it i’ve come to realise they’re all remixes of female vocalists. I just wish you could get a couple of these as a dub version!

Sky Ferreira – One (Style Of Eye Dub Remix) (Download)
Style of eye has been killing it over the past 7 years. Watching some of his sets over the years has left my mind a complete mess. How he does half the shit he does on 3 CDJ’s is beyond me, i swear he was doing stuff i never even knew possible, that or i was drunk from having such a good time. On top of him being an incredible DJ he’s one of the nicest guys i’ve met in the DJ world. So take a moment out of your life and have a listen to this remix of Sky Ferreira’s ‘One’ (the dub version as i can’t stand her vocals). Its no Big Kazoo but it’ll get the dance floor bouncing.

Oh Land – Sun of a Gun (Savage Skulls Remix) (Download)
Savage Skulls come with a poppy remix that uses the vocals from the original quite heavily. I can’t imagine ever hearing this out, but it’s been made to be like it is and doesn’t try to be anything it isn’t. For that reason alone its a guilty pleasure.
