Well I had to sleep on the floor last night for it but I got some freaking headphones.

Why the hell did you have to sleep on the floor :(? Thats awful.

Only cause I love Calvin Harris.

Love this.

And this <3

Especially liked that last one.

As for the floor thing, my mom moved into this apartment, and I have to stay here until I get my own (in about three more weeks). My brother is staying too so I usually sleep on the couch (It's a one bedroom) but I traded my bro the couch for him driving me to get headphones last night.

Electrooo

and some insane Dutch House (the video edits the song a little bit, the melodies go for a lot longer)

This amazing thread will die if I don't do this...

The first Techno song I ever heard...

House remix of the first techno song I ever heard by Dada Life:

Pretty dirty House mix by Lucky Date

Some new Dubstep I found that isn't by Hooky:

Epic remix of Ripple by Liquid Stranger. Man, I thought this guys album tracks were good, some of the remixed tracks are even better.

I'm looking for remixes of older music, mostly 80's & earlier. It can be newer but I'm going for an old-school sound.

What I really DON'T want is house, techno or anything with that repetitive thom-thom-thom beat - it's gotta be more creative than just tacking a beat onto someone else's song.

Some examples of favorites -

Dinah Washington - Is You Is Or Is You Ain't My Baby (Verve Remixed 3)
Gabin - Just Be Yourself (Mr. Freedom)
Gabin - Other Way Around (Mr Freedom)
Deep Dish - Dreams (George Is on)
Johnny Cash - (Johnny Cash Remixed) - Get Rhythm
Sarah Vaughan - Fever (Verve Remixed)
The Doors - Strange Days (Thievery Corp)
The Doobie Brothers - Long Train Runnin' [Remix]
What Is Hip - (What Is Hip: Remix Project 1) - Tower Of Power
Ventura Highway - America - (What Is Hip: Remix Project 1)
Boogie Pimps - Somebody To Love (Saltshaker Remix Radio Edit)
Elvis Presley - Polk Salad Annie - Remix By Jack
Mo' Horizons - Hit The Road Jack (Pe Na Estrada)

(tried to post links but I struck out...)

Upbeat is definitely good. The challenge is to find music that's old school but exciting in a new, creative way. And if there's a name for this genre I don't know it.

all my recent favs are on my new mix - made a thread for it too :) (surprised no response!!)

Dear Musicbanter, I am in love. With this tune.

Love, Kayleigh x
