Top 15 remixes of 2007

The season to be jolly? ‘Tis not! ‘Tis the season to be finishing the lists! So get to it!
I’ll start with a relatively easy one; the remixes. The 15 remixes that got me dancing, prancing and romancing (and in some cases even necromancing).

Feist shows that she does not only have a great taste in men (she’s dating Kevin Drew) but also in remixers since she’s in the list twice (and there’s the Chromeo remix that didn’t make the list). Caribou is also in the list twice. D.A.N.C.E. surely has to be the most remixed song this year but it wasn’t the MSTRKRFT, Diplo or Soulwax remix that got to me, it was the impressive epic (11.22 minutes!) remix Jackson and His Computer Band did that was my favorite. Muscles lends his trademarked screams of joy to the Bitch from Sweden and in turn gets the disco treatment from Van She. Xiu Xiu surprised me this year with a surprisingly listenable remix and cover album which features the lovely Eau Claire getting electro-fied. Another Remix album worth mentioning is Soulwax’s collection. I’ll say it one more time: go see them play those remixes live if you get the chance (because your worth it!). Remixers of the year for me are The Teenagers who turned everything they touched into gold (the kind with a really good bass).
