Here is my top 10 for remixes of the year. These are tracks I could hardly contain myself from playing at all of my big gigs this past year. Whenever I had a gig that I knew was gonna be off the hook, these songs made the set list.

10. Doctor P: Neon (feat Jenna G) (LabRat Remix)

Beautiful vocals influenced by the EDM scene mixed with a rage filled dubstep drop. Jenna G’s vocals are perfect over this remix. Bravo to LabRat on this one.

UNDANEATH YA NEON ^^^^

9. Yolanda Be Cool: Before Midnight (Angger Dimas Remix)

Released as the headlining promo track for Yolanda Be Cool’s new album, Angger Dimas’ remix of Before Midnight starts off heavy trap influence beat leading up heavy wobbles mixed with bleeping synth. The ever interesting vocals on Yolanda Be Cool tracks had an interesting piece to the mix. Almost like an opposites attract feel.

Attracted yet?

8. Krewella: Alive (Pegboard Nerds Remix)

Probably one of my favorite house tracks of the year, Krewella has the most beautiful vocals for this track. Pegboard Nerds completely change the vibe of the song, but in the best way possible. Pegboard Nerds turn the pretty house song, to a melodically heavy dubstep BANGER. I want to windmill head bang while spinning in a circle, while hula hooping to this song. Sadly I am not a hot raver girl.

Here I am

7. Oh My!: Dirty Dancer (Alvin Risk Remix)

This song took me by total surprise. One of those tracks where I saw the name and I was like “hmm dirty dancer..maybe its a fun slutty song”. Total opposite. I found two happy go lucky British pop girls talking about how they AREN’T sluts. And yet? I LOVE IT. Alvin Risk turns the pop dazzler into a moombahsexmotronic bonanza. Also the tv swear bleep in the song makes me smile as well. Alvin Risk did good things this year, but I wanted to make this list more well rounded. 

6. Knife Party: Internet Friends (Revolvr Bootleg)

Revolvr made hands down the best remix of this song to date. Making a remarkable likeliness to the original robo-woman, he hads a few extra lines to this track, the best being “Oh my God. It’s this fucking song again.” Seriously. But he manages to vamp up the main drop, and even had a separate break with slut drums giving it a dubstepish vibe. #swag

Real internet friends will reblog this….

5. Bodyrox: Bow Wow Wow (feat. Luciana & Chipmunk) [Bluestone vs. Loverush Extended Mix]

Mmm. This remix is sexual. All it takes is the wobbley verse, and Luciana’s hot English accent as she spits her lyrics of everything she don’t want in life. “NOO BULLSHIT, NO CHAMPAGNE, NO FALSE LOVE NO MIND GAMES” Yassss Luciana. never disappoint me. Chipmunks verse wasn’t thrilling to be honest in comparison to Luciana’s. The original version of this song just doesn’t do it for me at all though. It is slower, and less amped up. This remix takes the cake…….

4. Yelawolf: Daddy’s Lambo (Terravita Remix)

Yelawolf’s voice alone is enough to get me going. Terravita adds a filthy drop to this track. Only sad part is that it isn’t longer.

3 Knife Party: Fire Hive (Krewella Fuck On Me Remix)

This is my most listened to track this year in terms of remixes. Krewella are absolute animals. Pushing out original tracks, an EP and remixes with adding vocals on numerous tracks this year? They’re unstoppable. I don’t know how they come up with such insanely catchy melodies for their tracks. One thing is for sure, Krewella has themselves my addiction RAH AH AGH.

Who caught that?

2. Gotye: Somebody That I Used To Know (Hyper Crush Remix)

This remix is so high on the list simply because I did not like this song until I heard this remix. The deep bassy synth over Gotye and Kimbra’s smooth vocals, leading up to an insane progressive house drop. It is a deadly combination of ingredients. I heard this remix while out several times too, so I know I’m not crazy. Hyper Crush should make more remixes. All of their other remixes are quite good as well.

1. Medina: Forever (Jean Elan Remix)

Oh. My Hell. This track I honestly never would have heard unless my friend wasn’t downloading random remixes of random everything. He played maybe 10 seconds of this song and I was like

I also had never heard of Jean Elan before this. The insane bass for this track over Medina’s robotized and flanged vocals make for a Hades hot electro house track. But that isn’t all. The chorus tricks you into a progressive heavy break. Huge build up with only the help of a few claps to keep you moving leading back up to and even more vamped up version of the beat from the beginning. I will probably drag this track into 2013 with me playing it at a few more big gigs, simply due to this beat.
