The other day I came across a couple new remixes that piqued my interest… a remix of “Magificent” off U2′s new No Line on the Horizon album, and a remix of “Let Love Rule (2009)” off Lenny Kravitz’ breakthrough album Let Love Rule, which has a 20th Anniversary Deluxe Edition coming out on May 19th. You can learn all the details about that release here.
Anyway, I’ve included those two remixes as well as an interesting selection of some other songs that have gotten the remix treatment for you today in the Dig-It section below. As I’m getting more and more into the whole remix thang, I’m starting to recognize the names and styles of some of those doing the remixing… and I must say that there are some pretty talented folks out there. In some cases they can enhance a song to the point where I almost like it better than the original, and in other cases they can change up the song completely, so much so that the original song is almost unrecognizable.
Take a listen below, and you’ll see what I mean. There are remixes from Johnny Cash to Eminem… Kate Bush to Depeche Mode… yes, there’s a little something for everyone. Now all someone needs to do is remix “Jessie’s Girl” and the world will be a safer place.
