No small talk today. Earlier on I mentioned how 80's and 90's rock tracks were the way to go if you're thinking of remixing. I found a couple more examples that prove my point:

Rubix - Sweet Dreams (Baltimore Bootleg)

Europe - The Final Countdown (Them Jeans & Antimc Remix)

And since I really digg Rubix' sound, here's another remix he did. Keep an eye out for this young producer.

Laidback Luke - Break The House Down (Rubix remix)

CROOKERS RUINED MY LIFE

Again Crookers are absolutely killing it. Quality mix.

It's that easy.

Well, I got up this morning and found my inboxes filled with sweet new promos to share.

Riva Starr, The Bulgarian and U&A Recordings all had some music in store.

Riva Starr sent along his remix of Colin Hobbs - Coming Up (will only be up for 10 days so get it quick). Quality fidget proving he hasn't lost his touch. Already, this track is supported by the legend Dave 'Switch' Taylor, Jesse Rose and all the other usual suspects. Keep checking Riva Starr's label Dirtybird Records however for his techYes tracks aswell.

The Bulgarian is definitly among the greats when it comes to fidget sounds. Talked to him a while back and he mentioned he had done a remix for Crookers of their 'Limonare' track. He said this remix might not ever be released so we were free to host it on Awkward Pirates. Thanks for that by the way D.

Crookers - Limonare (The bulgarian's sweet like a lemon mix).

U&A Recordings were nice enough to hand us some samples of their upcomming releases aswell.

They've started a project where they remix a series of older Elite Force tracks.

The first mix comes from Plasmapool's Miles Dyson and melds electro house attitude with classic breaks fonk stylings to create a huge big room monster.

Elite Force - Melodik Hypnotik (Miles Dyson Mix)

The second mix is from Dirtybird artist Riva Starr who turns in a awesome, low-slung, deep techy take on things and comes up with a stripped and hypnotic version that jacks up the bass and lets fly with a groove that is rolling and percussive. Quality house music that clearly shows why Claude Von Stroke has taken this talented producer on board.

Elite Force - Melodik Hypnotik (Riva Starr Mix)

Then there's the original mix Elite Force - Melodik Hypnotik (Original 2003 Mix) and the Elite Force - Melodik Hypnotik (Elite Force's unreleased '05 re-rub)

As you might've noticed all these remixes are in 128 but if you're looking for any of these remixes you can BUY them here.
