RW: Kids (Soulwax Remix)

I know what you’re going to say, and before you do. Don’t.

I know it wasn’t Soulwax last week. It was “2 Many DJ’s”. But they are the same thing right? Well kinda? A signature I do with my left hand, and one from my right hand are both my signature right? Anyways, I feel bad, because I had some people getting pissed at me in the comments. But to get real for a sec, it’s one of the earliest Soulwax mash-up efforts (Beatles v. Kernkraft). It’s the strings, and then Kernkraft’s industrial beat.

So to show how much of a nice guy I truly am. I give you a 100% real Soulwax remix.

This remix hit the blogosphere this summer, and for a period of time I couldn’t put it down.

It’s contagious, and I hope you enjoy it.

RW: Soulwax’s take on Eleanor Rigby

As the holidays near, i’m starting to wonder what I’m thankful for. The first thought is definately remixes. And if I’ve learned anything over the last few months, you can’t be thankful for remixes without Soulwax.

One of my favorite remix outfits, Soulwax hasn’t spread themselves too thin. Sometimes operating under different names, such as Too Many DJ’s, and other unknown aliases, the guy’s aren’t afraid to make some noise.

Familiar with the phrase, “If you’re not pissing someone off, you’re not trying hard enough?” Well these guys surely are, taking plenty of songs that most people would soundly think do NOT need remixing, and here we are gathered to talk about one such instance.

I love the Beatles. A lot of people love the Beatles, and apparentyly the guys @ Soulwax do too. Their remix of Eleanor Rigby shows some real love to the original version.

A few small notes I took when I first “tasted” the song:

• DRUMS?!??
• instrumental
• works with the original flow of the song
• keeps some of the stereo effects of the original piece
• very electronic sounding
• about the same length as the original song

Note: If you perfectly overlay the two songs…. it’s amazing.

Well with that I’ll leave you this remix, and have a happy & safe thanksgiving!
