Reset! Remixes Phoenix's 'if i ever feel better'

I am fully aware that the amount of Phoenix remixes out there most likely equates to the population of a small European nation. However, there are most definitely a few rare diamonds amongst the seas of remix mediocrity. Reset! provides us with evidence of such claims, with their remix of 'If i Ever Feel Better.' This track is about as club ready as they get, and I love the surprise drop a third of the way through. From that point its banging till the fade.

Love Like a Sunset, all housed out and whatnot


Phoenix has now offered another version of Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix track(s) ‘Love Like A Sunset.’ This was a promotional remix offering to fans for the price of a retweet about their Madison Square Garden show which occurred in October (and had a cameo by Daft Punk, no less). The Tong & Rogers Wonderland remix takes the somewhat ambient original track into house dancefloor territory. Get it by clicking here or enjoy it below. good stuff!

My dern Phoenix remix album, suckas!!!



If you want to find a classic text book version of bad remixing, then head over to iTUNES and grab yourself a digital copy of Phoenix's new remix album.  This bad boy is chocked full of four-on-the-floor beats slathered over the occasional chopped-up vocal, awkward synth lines, and a bevy of glitchy stabs.  If you have a palette for mediocrity like aged Gouda, then get on it. However, if i were to compile a remix album for these explosive French rockers, I'd start with these two tracks.  First up from the French duo "Walter Sobcek" who just finished up their first LP in the land of L.A.  I can't tell you how many different remixes i've heard of the now exhausted track "1901," but this one breathes new life.  It takes a complete 180 and approaches this joyful dance hall filler into a deep, lush melancholy gem.  Love it!!!!  Next is Def Starr's take of Fences.  Gorgeous, simple, straight forward, without pretention.  Both a softer take to the pseuo-bangers we've heard in the past.
