bestuvoate: Busy P + Crookers

Sorting thru the many Crookers releases this year left me at a crossroads with two Frenchmen. I could either go with their Don Rimini mix (which was a bit too similar to the original), or their Busy P remix, as featured below, to be the #15 remix of the year. I’m more than content with […]

bestuvoate: MGMT + Dskotek

MGMT might easily be the biggest band to emerge on the charts this year. Their combination of indie and electro appeal are a 1-2 punch in the blog world, which also leaves many of their tracks to be easily accessable to remixing. Electric Feel has been my favorite MGMT track since the spring when their […]

Mailbox Mundays

Photos courtesy of Lele D’Angelo I’m sure the IFPI would enjoy this little guy… but I’ve got direct permission from the music manager at Muzikology himself that it’s been cleared for promotional uses. Stick that one to the man! Cultural learnings aside, this new track from flying Dutchman Don Diablo can be put on the […]

bestuvoate: DIOYY? + Culture Prophet

Culture Prophet first broke out on the blogosphere in late 2007 with a few high profile remixes of Danger and Digitalism (what better way to get your mug on the map than that amiright?). Then after adding Chicago’s own Dag Joe in 2008, their hardcore electro-thrashing sound found it’s groove and took-off with a respectable […]

bestuvoate: Ghostface Killah + Yuksek

Back in May, my birthday happened. But possibly more important, the Kid Color Carded & Discarded mixtape was released. This mixtape was listened to in it’s entirety for much too many times than I care to admit. Kyle’s seamless transitions from one track to the next were creatively hidden in overlayed hip hop accapellas and […]

Passion Pit + Elijah

I’m so excited to have seen this today. My buddy Elijah sent me his winning remix of Passion Pit’s Sleepyhead… and then later in the day, while perusing my daily blogs… saw his track up on Palms Out Sounds! How awesome is that?! Palms Out is like the bees knees in music blogging… gratz mate! […]

bestuvoate: Digitalsim + Chewy Chocolate Cookies

Few other remixers had such a lack of an image to uphold throughout the year than Chewy Chocolate Cookies. You wont find their picture on myspace, google images gives you album covers, and flickr makes me hungry. I still have no idea who these persons are in real life… and have yet to see an […]

Steed Lord + Jack Beats

http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=2397596&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=00adef&fullscreen=1STEED LORD “NEW CRACK CITY” from STEED LORD on Vimeo. Steed Lord, the Icelandic-epic-synth-foursome… to help promote their new album Truth Serum (out soon on Beatport), have released a new remix by Jack Beats (Cheap Thrills UK). The track has already seen some steady radio play in the UK… but for everyone else in the […]

BESTUVOATE!

Welcome young and old, class and trash, pure sex and garbage… this is the kickoff for soquitcherbitchen’s year-end countdown. The theme for this countdown are the top 20 remixes of 2008. “Best” is a loose word at it’s core, so to be more specific, we’ll lay some ground rules: 1. remixes only (sorry “Dusk Till […]
