This is wonderful. It’s a lovely, lilting drum & bass track. No great surprises there, lots of drum & bass is lovely & lilting. But it’s made up, in large part, from little snippets of sound effects and speech from…

Stevie Wonder – Superstition (Obol Remix)
I’ll keep this one short. So, Gilles Peterson, second show on BBC 6Music. Sixth track of the afternoon, a restrained, slow-building house remix of Stevie Wonder’s funk classic Superstition. The remix is by Obol, who I don’t know much about other…
Adele – Rolling In The Deep (Remix)
Any regular readers will know that I’m a fan of remixes, and there are a lot of good ones out there. But, there can be few that will ever come close to the genius of this incredibly moving reworking of…
#shfl11: Brass Construction – Happy People
Well, #shfl11 finally seems to be doing what I’d hoped it would: introducing me to music I have never encountered before, despite it being on my iPod. Today, Happy People by Brass Construction, which is certainly the worst band name…

Eric B & Rakim vs 3 Kilos – I Know You Got Soul (Remix)
I know absolutely nothing about this other than the fact that it rocks, it was waiting for me when I logged into YouTube and I heart the video footage used.
Stardust – Music Sounds Better With You (Bob Sinclar Remix)
I know that I only wrote about the original version of Music Sounds Better With You by Stardust but I just had to post this amazing Bob Sinclar remix. Why? Because, far from posting too many music videos, this blog…
Frankie Valli – Beggin’ (Pilooski Mix) [From Adidas Ad]
So I have to say that the newish Adidas ad is one that, in theory, I should hate. The idea of them organising the ultimate house-party, to which Adidas has invited all its mates, from Estelle to David Beckham, Kate…
Dillinger – Cocaine In My Brain
A remix of this track just came on the office stereo (the Groove Corporation one that features on the Bedroom Sessions mix by Faithless) and I just felt like I had to play the original. Cocaine In My Brain by…
