| #2 / Fri, 12 Dec 08 10:07 good list!
|

|
| #3 / Fri, 12 Dec 08 10:08 Quite a few remixes here in my top list (Shakleton, Radioslave, Dixon & Henrik Schwarz, Dj Kose remix of Mango). However sad not to see my number 1 on that list (Any Villalobos' fans should check out this remix. Be prepared for a 15mn journey): Dilo - The Kittycat Track (Tolga Fidan's San Pedro Mix) [Einmaleins] [Tolga Fidan myspace].

yeah except for the Grinhouse remix of Dubfire, I think it's awful!! Don't get the hype about this track. Worst Radioslave track ever imo. However his remix of Dead Souls deserves a higher ranking.

Awful?!! Has to be heard on a very big sound system, in the dark, with maybe one strobe....boop.

Posts / 169 RA Since / May 2007 Location / england | #8 / Fri, 12 Dec 08 11:03 The Dubfire remix of Grindhouse has rocked some huge parties this year. Tis a great peice of work...that vocal! I'd put it in my top 5.
Remixes I enjoyed that aren't in the list:
Kerri Chandler - Pong [Ben Klock rework]
Babicz - Dark Flower [Joris Voorn rmx]

Have to add this one on my list. Love it! I wonder if it will be released on vinyl one day, it's only available digitally

Posts / 583 RA Since / Jul 2007 | #11 / Fri, 12 Dec 08 11:25 Very solid selection; loads of my top remixes in there.
Mlle Caro's Radio Slave remix and Ricardo's Shackleton remix were the higlights for me.
The Frankie Knuckles remix of Hercules & TLA was pretty poor and the Dubfire remix is an absolute atrocity!

I was there and I actually heard it twice that night as Weatherall dropped it a few minutes later in room 2. However I think Weatherall played the Danton Eeprom's vocal version, which is better.

| #14 / Fri, 12 Dec 08 12:15 I prefer the Danton Eeprom mix. More sinister. imo. Great list btw

| #15 / Fri, 12 Dec 08 12:22 (Edited: 12 Dec 08 12:30) 'tis a heavy list indeed. I would have placed Koze's Minimal top o the list!!  ( & his edit of Mango second).

No good music,

Posts / 105 RA Since / Oct 2006 Location / new york, ny | #21 / Fri, 12 Dec 08 13:29 great list. i would have pushed andy stott's 'recovery IDea' mix a little higher, but all in all a good list.

| #25 / Fri, 12 Dec 08 13:57 Good list, though I'm baffled as to the reason that people preferred Guillaume's remix of "Morgane" over Sety's original. I love Guillaume but to me the original had so much more character and atmosphere to it. The fact that it's Sety's first production in like four years is all the more impressive. My personal list went like this:
1. Los Updates, Pictures of You (Tobias. Remix)
2. Sascha Funke, Mango Cookie (DJ Koze Remix)
3. Slap, Eden Now (Villalobos Remix)
4. Zomby, Spliff Dub (Rustie Remix)
5. Scuba, Twitch (Jamie Vex'd Remix)
6. The Black Dog, Train By the Autobahn (Rob Hood's DJ Remix)
7. Villalobos, Minimoonstar (Shackleton Remix)
8. Ane Brun, Headphone Silence (Henrik Schwartz/Dixon Remix)
9. Flying Lotus, Roberta Flack (Martyn Remix)
10. Goldfrapp, A&E (Hercules and Love Affair Remix)
11. Martyn, Natural Selection (Flying Lotus Remix)
12. Martyn, Vancouver (2562's Puur Natuur Mix)
13. Scuba, Poppies (Substance Remix)
14. LDOE, Crimes (Luke Solomon Remix)
15. La Horse, Cyanide and Happiness (Danton Eeprom Remix)
16. Professor Genius, A Jean Giraud #4 (Brennan Green Remix)
17. Matias Aguayo, Minimal (DJ Koze Remix)
18. Jose Gonzalez, Killing for Love (Todd Terje Remix)
19. Idiotproof, Gorilla (Siriusmo Remix)
20. Deetron feat. Justin Chapman, Let's Get Over It (Marcel Dettmann Remix)
Granted I did that a few weeks ago and my volatile moods being what they are, now I'd probably switch a few out for other picks...
As for Supermayer's "Tiergarten," wasn't that 2007?

The Random One Posts / 412 RA Since / Feb 2007 Location / West Yorkshire Next @ Hard Wax XX | #26 / Fri, 12 Dec 08 14:03 I would of liked to have seen Kuniyuki - "Birds" - (Tony Lionni remix) make the top 15 & Justus Kohncke - “$26? (Aaron Carl Remix) [Kompakt] & Kuniyuki - "All These Things" (Theo Parrish Remixes).

i'm tired of this repetitive, dark shit when we have so much going on in other areas - where's DFA (ok, we have one rmx), Permanent vacation, Tirk, Eskimo,... sound? totally overlooked and underrated

bizarre comment. nice list philip. those two scuba remixes you included are personal favourites of mine, too, although with there being so many in the series they obviously never stood a chance of charting. i don't know why substance's remix work is so much more interesting than his original productions (on scion versions...) lately.

Posts / 123 RA Since / Apr 2007 Location / Washington, DC | #31 / Fri, 12 Dec 08 15:29 Although it sort of cuts across Best DJ mix (as it's one track) and remix I would list Carl Craig and Mauritz Von Oswald's "Recomposed" mix of Maurice Ravel: Bolero, Rapsodie espagnole and Modest Mussorgsky: Pictures at an Exhibition. Guess it doesn't quite fit into this rubric, but god damn if it ain't the most artistic mash up since Girls on Top threw an acapella of Whitney Houston's I wanna dance (with somebody) on top of a well edited version of Kraftwerk's Numbers.

Posts / 123 RA Since / Apr 2007 Location / Washington, DC | #33 / Fri, 12 Dec 08 15:34 Also, I love Mark Ernestus's Disco Dub remix of Tony Allen's Moyege. That was probably the best remix album of the year for me, Lagos Shake: A Tony Allen Chop Up.

all of the remixes are from previous years though... the Ernestus dub came out in 2006 I think.

Okay, didn't know that, but CD release came out in '08 so it registered in my world as an 08 release and counted.

it is, no doubt.. it was always like this remember the "progressive" days (the most bizzare genere term ever created btw), when there was so much thing goin on in microhouse, deephouse, jackin' and electro scene, yet  was full of "progressive" hypness. My conclusion is that should focus a bit more on other styles and not just the most popular ones (RA podcast is slightly goin in this direction, some album reviews also). Yes it is a poll and people's choice, but by promoting other styles & generes tru whole year helps a lot...

The Tracklisting Monster Posts / 1590 RA Since / Dec 2006 Location / Toronto / NYC | #40 / Fri, 12 Dec 08 15:55 I could make a long list of all the remixes I think should have been on this list, but it would take some time. I'm actually surprised that RV/Shackleton was at number 1, but it's a good track.
However, I see four glaring omissions:
Deetron - Let's Get Over It (Marcel Dettmann Remix)
Radio Slave - Tantakatan (Shed Remix)
Prosumer - Serenity (Soundstream Remix)
Monolake - Polaroid (T++ Remix)
WHAT IN THE NAME OF (INSERT DEITY HERE)?
