I like this 're-mix' of The Slow Train, originally by the Kings Singers. Done by lemon jelly.

I also like 'Love Is Psychedelic' by Fantastic Plastic Machine. Don't know if you would call it 'classical' but I love dance music that uses an orchestra.

Oh! And I love Finished Symphony by Hybrid.

I personally like any dance music that uses instrumental instruments. I just love the sound.

P.S. i cant insert links untill I have posted 15 times. But they are all on YouTube :laughing:

is electronic mix same as house music?

If it is good, then why not? Good way to get the younger generation singing the old tunes.

Venetian Snares does classical pretty well, as far as breakcore goes. I don't know, remixing seems like it's more lazy than what Venetian Snares does. He samples. Is there a difference in definition? When I hear the word "remix", I instantly think of really lame mainstream techno. Hate to sound like a pretentious jerk, but they are more often than not "pieces", not songs. Songs have a specific definition, think "sung". Not everything that is sung is a song though. It is a reference to the form. This is very important when talking about classical music.

Check out Venetian Snares - Szerencsétlen

Those LPs are awesome. Tomita is a bit cheesy at times, but its fun.

I think
 
they are great.

I would love to hear a collab between royksopp, and a classical composer.

I like it if it's done right!
I love classical music, but I also enjoy the sound of a synth, so combined under the right circumstances I think it can be quit great!

Found this, what do people think of it? Nice ideas but maybe a bit confused. I would have liked to see it be a bit more focused. Pretty cool sounding though!!

I think there are a lot of good ones and a lot of bad ones.

I can't really get into the whole hardcore scene... where the bass drum just pounds the hell out of everything ... think of hardcore mixes of the russian classical song used in the Tetris game... it gets old fast.

Some electronic songs sound amazing though. If you're lucky enough to find a producer of electronic music who is willing to transpose a 5/4 classical piece into a 4/4 beat, you can have some amazing things happen.

I've personally reworked a few classical songs from midi inputs from NES/SNES chiptunes. While these aren't classical in tonality (use of digital sounds, rather than actual instruments), they are classical in design a lot of the times because due to the technology back in the 80s / early 90s... electronic music for games didn't have much tonal capabilities to what they have now due to sampling rates using so much memory in the games. Sound producers had to really stretch music back then to be interesting, and the only way they could do it was to revert to classical styles.
