Electric Feelings

SHOCKING. I've been talking about, well thinking about, at least, doing this for a long time. By "this," of course, I mean doing a post on remixes of "Electric Feel" by MGMT (because there are SO many). Enjoy!








1. the Original:


2. the Immuzikation remix:
My personal favorite - retains enough of the original song and brings in enough to merit the remix.


3. the James Rutledge Remix:
Very Interesting musical additions - likes it a great deal.


4. the Aeroplane remix:
Different approach than the others - in classic Aeroplane fashion, this remix is slower and jazzier.


5. the True Pseudo remix:
Pretty popular right now for good reasons - so dancable and spin-worthy.


6. the Rasta Wigs remix:
In a word, groovy. Muddled at times, but worth it.


7. the Justice remix:
Easily the best-known remix (fuck, it's on iTunes), but definitely not my favorite. I think a lot of the original is lost. If not for my inclination to Justice, it might not be so high on this list. Worth a listen regardless (everyone else seems to love it).


8. the Dskotek remix:
Super spinnable and will be hitting clubs (as far as the music internet suggests).


9. the Katy Perry cover(!):
I totally doubted this (I'm a hater) but this is D-lightful. I listen to it by choice. Congratulations, Katy.


10. the Jim Jones, "Dirty" remix:
I actually included this in an earlier post because I was so impressed with Jim Jones' contribution. I still really like it - Jones adds a new mood to the song without taking much away.


11. the INX remix:
Pretty good; classic remix style. Beat to which you can dance.


12. the Illuminoids remix involving, Justice and The Ramones, "Teenage Electric Lobotomy":
Pretty decent mash-up (I'm hating on mash-ups of late).


13. the "Leif My Shit" remix:
A sped up mix like many of the others with some unforeseeable interruptions ("mash-ups"?). Not tragic.


14. "Pimp Feel The Electric Floor," the DMX and 50 Cent Mix
Makes the song feel extraordinarily repetitive and does DMX and 50 no real favors.


15. the Kickdrums mash-up involving Kanye, and Justice, "Electric Touch":
Mash-up. As aforementioned, not enjoying the mash-ups recently, and this mix did nothing to change my mind.



There you have it. An extensive review of the song of the year.
KISSES!!
