Top 50 Dance Remixes of Classic Hits
Sometimes, you just want to listen to a familiar classic you already know all the words to — probably because your parents played it all the time when you were young. Other times, you want to bump a track with a beat you can feel in your rib cage, something that wouldn’t be out of place on the club floor or in a desert festival mosh pit. Every once in a while, you want to do both at the exact same time. If that description fits you, you’ve come to the right place. Countless DJs and producers of the 21st century have combined the nostalgic power of oldies with the liberating boom of 808 drums, sharing their creations with millions of listeners on YouTube and SoundCloud. The musical magic of old-meets-new has become such a phenomenon that sometimes, legendary artists who dominated radio year...
Yard Act Recruit Fan Sir Elton John for New Version of “100% Endurance”: Stream
Sir Elton John is just one of many who have hopped on the Yard Act bandwagon. The Rocket Man himself features on a new version of the UK band’s single from May, “100% Endurance.” John sang praises for Yard Act while speaking to NME back in October, specifically complimenting frontman James Smith’s distinctive speak-singing: “I can’t do it but I love it and I wonder how they do it.” Yard Act thanked John in return a couple months later by covering “Tiny Dancer,” essentially confirming what would become a real-life friendship. In a press release, Smith explains how a series of phone calls led him to giving John a spur-of-the-moment invitation to the studio with Yard Act: “Within our camp we have a saying: ‘Mad shit happens when you do art,’” Smith adds. “You make stuff becaus...

Florence + The Machine Enlist Glass Animals’ Dave Bayley for “My Love” Remix: Stream
Considering Florence + The Machine’s upcoming album is called Dance Fever, it’s bound to make you want to bust a move. Today, the band has shared a dance floor-ready remix of their single “My Love,” courtesy of Glass Animals frontman Dave Bayley. Bayley co-produced the original release of “My Love” alongside Jack Antonoff and the band’s Florence Welch, the latter of whom described it as “Nick Cave at the club.” Bayley’s new remix of the track leans more heavily into the club side, adding a disco-like piano riff and a very groovy bass drop. Welch’s vocals remain mostly undoctored, however, keeping the track true to the band’s ethos. “[Welch] had such a strong and brilliant vision for the album lyrically, sonically, and visually, so while working on the tracks we were careful to st...
Omah Lay Talks Reuniting With Justin Bieber and Bringing More ‘Attention’ to Afrobeats Music
Afrobeats singer Omah Lay and Justin Bieber get the party started with their brand new collaboration “Attention,” which was released on Friday (March 4) via SIRE/Warner Records. The pair ride the rhythm of the sensual and vibrant Afrobeats crossover track’s sizzling hi-hats, bouncy percussion and purring pop synth riffs, courtesy of the song’s producers Harv (Bieber’s frequent collaborator) and Avedon, as the singers repeatedly coo in the chorus, “Show me a little attention.” Bieber packs in big vibes when he asks, “Should I drink up/ Smoke up?/ I need some/ freedom/ Freedom, ah! in my life,” while Omah effortlessly lets the last word of each line roll off his tongue to the point where it’s more felt than heard. The song is already being promoted to U.S. pop radio starting on Monday, March...

Listen to Tiësto’s Intoxicating Remix of ACRAZE’s Breakout Hit, “Do It To It”
After months of teasing, Tiësto has finally unveiled his hotly anticipated remix of ACRAZE‘s global hit, “Do It To It.” Tiësto’s remix is an artful reimagining of the original from ACRAZE, who was recently named to EDM.com‘s Class of 2022. The Dutch dance music legend infused a fresh dose of his signature production into “Do It To It,” beautifully interpolating the classic Cherish lyrics with an electrifying, four-on-the-floor beat. Building on the ingenious simplicity of ACRAZE’s original, Tiësto rendition is a dancefloor filler—just like its progenitor. It’s the first official remix of the international house hit, though many artists have released their own unofficial edits, such as Zedd’s viral Squid Game ma...

Charli XCX Recruits Perfume Genius for “Good Ones” Remix: Stream
“Good Ones” just got a spritz of perfume. Today, Charli XCX unveiled a new remix of her latest hit single courtesy of Perfume Genius. Stream the track below. Under the spell cast by the artist otherwise known as Michael Hadreas, the song is transformed from a high-energy bop into a ghostly goth banger, with Charli’s vocals slowed and pitched down over menacing production. “And baby you couldn’t have loved me any better/ But doin’ this is all that I’ve known ever,” the pop star sings on the pre-chorus, her voice virtually unrecognizable before Perfume Genius summons a demonic beat. “I want the bad ones, ’cause they’re all I know/ I always let the good ones go.” Advertisement Related Video The remix follows the release of Charli XCX’s all-star collaboration with Christine and the Queens and ...
St. Vincent Shares “Pay Your Way in Pain (IDLES Remix)”: Stream
St. Vincent is back with a fresh take on “Pay Your Way in Pain.” Today, Annie Clark has shared a remix of the Daddy’s Home single, created by UK post-punk band IDLES. St. Vincent released Daddy’s Home, her sixth album, in May, and shared “Pay Your Way in Pain” as its first single. With glitchy synths and the artist’s typical slinky rhythm, the song introduced the record’s retro aesthetic with a certain charismatic darkness. In a statement for the remix, IDLES guitarist Mark Bowen said this juxtaposition is what he latched onto. “What I really enjoy about the Daddy’s Home album is using this camp energy in a really violent way,” he said. “This embracing of the nostalgic even the kitsch but using it to make progressive futuristic music. It reminded me a lot of the energy of early house ...

With his new remix of Dolly Parton‘s “Jolene,” Destructo is officially EDM’s latest superstar to pop on a pair of cowboy boots and try his hand at a lil’ country twang. Only in this case, the boots are probably pink, paired with rhinestones and a V-neck for good measure. Out via RCA and Sony Music, Destructo’s version is one of the only official “Jolene” remixes to ever grace the ears of the public and, according to Parton in a press release, it’s her favorite. “It makes me want to dance!” she said.
