Four Tet Remixes + The XX Remixed + More.

I can't say I know too much about Four Tet and any of his original stuff, but I can say that his remixes are amazing. Not only are they awesome, but you can see how much Four Tet can change a song so dramatically while still maintaining certain elements. And make sure to check the originals out. (Top 3 are favorites)

We all love The XX, and this Re-edit of "Shelter" is great.

More Music!
Hol Baumann - Scala [Psychill/Psybient]
Heroin - Heroin [Minimal/Electro]

Extrawelt and Kollektiv Turmstrasse.

If I rate Trentemoller as my all time favorite producer, both Extrawelt and Kollektiv Turmstrasse come in a close second. I'm a huge minimal and techno fan, but the lack of any emotion and detachedness really can get to me after a while. That's why I'd have to put these two in a category of their own, because their sounds in minimal/techno really can't be matched.
Songs in *italics are essentials.

Fantasia 2000 Remixed!

I cannot believe I have only just discovered these videos, especially since they work with some of my favorite songs! The Kollektiv Turmstrasse one is perfection. It's genius! It works so beautifully that I wonder whether they used Fantasia to work with their song. I'm trying to get more info but nothing for now...
Watch in full screen and enjoy the adventures.
PS: Try not to cry.

Kollektiv Turmstrasse's "Tristesse"

Kollektiv Turmstrasse's "Holunderbaum (Rumpel Mix)"


Trentemoller's "Moan (Trentemoller Remix)" and Paul Kalkbrenner.

Extrawelt's "Lost In Willaura"

Ratatat Reversed!

Have you ever listened to Ratatat and wondered, "Hey! This stuff sounds like it's played backwards!"? Well I'm not sure whether they do record and reverse anything, but some of their stuff really does sound awesome in reverse. I made these a while ago, but check them out if you haven't already:
