Indigenous Power

Javier Estrada & A Tribe Called Red, “Indigenous Power [Original Mix]”

Starting with the original sample used by Kanye West in Power, it then goes through two more lenses to arrive here.

Something Good Can Work

Two Door Cinema Club, “Something Good Can Work [The Twelves Remix]”

Disco-influenced indie pop

Melancholy Hill

Gorillaz “Melancholy Hill” [Live Lounge Radio]

This acoustic version suits the melody much better than the album version.

Rootless Tree

Damien Rice “Rootless Tree” [Live from Abbey Road]

Another stripped-down Abbey Road recording, this time with Damien Rice and backup vocals from Lisa Hannigan. This performance, moreso than the album version, perfectly combines tenderness with frustration and rage.

Transformer

Gnarls Barkley “Transformer” [Live from Abbey Road]

I’m a big fan of the album version of this song, but this stripped-down version is equally captivating.

Party and Bullshit

Notorious BIG “Party and Bullshit” [Ratatat Remix]

Better than the original.

Dirt Off Your Shoulder

Jay-Z / Kno “Dirt Off Your Shoulder”

I prefer Kno’s Black Album remix as a whole over Danger Mouse’s Grey Album, with this track being my favorite. I love the horns.

Buddy X 99

Dreem Teem vs Neneh Cherry “Buddy X 99”

Fun use of orchestra hits on this dance track.

Flex

Dizzee Rascal “Flex” [Dave Spoon Remix]

This remix features an awesome grimy, even flatulent bassline to go with it. The video shown is for the album version of the song, but with this remix audio dubbed over it.
