Remix of Songs that actually make it more Awesome!

[Armadilo]

Usually remix of songs are never good but sometimes, it just does.

This one is just so perfect -


Pumped up kicks and This is America remix is so good, get the party started!!

 

[Syriel]

Silence is one of the more famous ones.

 

[see5harp]

DFA remix for N.E.R.D. "She Wants to Move" makes that song actually listenable.

 

[LewieP]

I like this one


And this mashup:

 

[collige]

One of the best

 

[collige]

James Blake is also an extremely good remixer

 

[Atlagev]

The Fatboy Slim remix of the Beastie Boys' "Body Movin" is the more well-known version. I think they both have their own charm, though.

 

[asmith906]

I don't even care about the original song but I had to put this remix in my playlist. It's so good.

Ariana Grande - Into You

 

[Syriel]

Also can't forget Junkie XL's remix of A Little Less Conversation. Dude one-upped Elvis.

 

[Deception]

 

[Phire Phox]

Way better than the original IMO.

 

[nsilvias]

The GOAT

 

[Liquidsnake]

[Hank Hill]

 

[Heshinsi]

I first heard this:



Before I found out it's sourced from this:



I like both but I like the first one a little bit better. I also like the Glee version of that "he's just a guy from Detroit" song.

 

[Kevers]

 

[Just Some Rando]

Since the OP included a mashup...



DJ Lobsterdust has made hundreds of 'em ; most pretty decent, but this is still my fave.

 

[WaffleTaco]

Despacito, tied for longest #1 song ever.

 

[King Alamat]

 

[Rob]

Fall Out Boy - "Alone Together (Krewella Remix)"

I love this version way more than the original.

 

[Kirblar]

Does Johnny Cash's cover of "Hurt" count?

[chironex]

Hearing just the opening bars of this remix instantly throws me back to a particular time and place in my life. Hearing the original is like... Oh, it's the original of that song. Don't get me wrong, it's a great song - but the remix was peak of its genre.

Röyksopp + Karin Dreijer + Trentemøller.

 

[ProtomanNeo]

Any remix that had either Biggie or Jay-Z

 

[Zeroro]

I see somebody already thought of looking to the DJ Hero games for an example...!

Cover's aren't remixes.

[StudioTan]

I really love the remix of White Zombie's More Human Than Human. Might enjoy it more than the original because the drums are actually heavier in the remix.

Remix

 

[HStallion]

The remix of the Quad City DJ's famous Space Jam song for the indie game Barkley Shut and Jam is amazing and even better than the original.



Its also inspired a huge plethora of mash up songs.

Hell nah to the remix of Come and Talk to Me that shit played on the radio and it was lewd. I'm with you with the rest. Also you missed the easiest softball throw which was Method Man "all I need" puff daddy remix with Mary J. I can't even remember the original ever getting any radio paly.

 

[mAcOdIn]

The Dead Can Dance remix of Kristine's Deepest Blue is way better.

 

[convo]

The classic


It throws you for a loop

lol, yeah it was lewd. They were just that type of group. I can't even listen to The Show, After Party, Hotel with my kids around. Forgot about that Mary J, Method Man.

Don't know who will agree but the remix to Swimming Pools by Kendrick Lamar with Lloyd. I heard another version with Lloyd and August Alsina I thought was nice.

Maybe not a remix but sort of mix mash-up. Some guy mixed Jimi Hendrix With the Wu Tang Clan.
Black Gold Wu tang & Jimmi Hendrix.

 

[Jyrii]

OP do you mean remix or mashup?

As for remix, I really like Danny Byrd's dnb remix of Zarif's California


As for mashup the absolute best is this one:

 

[Conciliator]

meme He-man house/rave 'What's up?' is better than the original
