The 80's remix to END ALL 80's remixes...

[fmanning]

Tonight I was absolutely privileged to be witness to the global unveiling of what is, in my opinion, the absolute BEST 80's remix I have EVER heard:

Styx - Mr. Roboto (Martin Villeneuve Bootleg Remix)

Marty dropped this evening at his Tao monthly event here in Ottawa, and it absolutely melted everyone's mind. Great re-arrangement of the original...beautiful synth work....and one killer bassline.

I still have the memories of the track in my head....I haven't had a track hit me as hard as this one did tonight....and he played it right after Max Graham's "Owner of a Lonely Heart" remix...which made it even better!

[vibe]

MV did a remix of a 80's classic? Can't wait to listen to it.. I'm a fan of STYX's music as well as MV's productions so I really can imagine that you're def right with your description.
Anyway I'm a big fan of Tears For Fears and when Skylark putted their Shout's remix out I was completely out.. as the same happened with Greed's remix of Mothers Talk.
Any fan of Tears For Fears out there or any 80's+ band?

CHEERS

man, i can't get enough of those 80's remixes.

oh shit, i didn't know max graham did the remix of that track. nice....

MV is a great producer and hopefully I'l get to hear that track soon.

But I still say the best 80's song remix was a remix of Dire Straits "Money for Nothing". I have no idea who did it but I give them a hand for producing a really strong remix.

Are you talking about Money for nothing / Flashdance mashup? That I believe is done by Sultan.

[jeffrey collins]

no it definitely didn't have flashdance mixed into it. It was all the money for nothing track but with some big bass drums and a kicking sound to it.

Time Bandits - I'm only shooting love
Raf - Self control
Kool & The Gang - fresh (US rmx)

[BEATFREAK26]

some should do a re-mix to Diar Straits-money for nothing

[jeffrey collins]

I had already mentioned that in the post beofre you.

The Dire Straits remix I am looking for is by Beat Sleyer. I saw it on HTFR but alas it was all sold out. I'll probably have a very hard time finding it. Though a bro of mine has it and traded me a digital copy for other song I got for him so I think i'll have it within the next week.

YEAH!!!!!!!

From Max's site:
Max recently flew to the UK to finalize a deal regarding his remix of Yes? ? Owner of a Lonely Heart. Owner spent 3 weeks on the UK?s Buzz Chart, including one week at NUMBER ONE!!! This mix, properly billed as Max Graham vs. Yes, has the blessing of the original band members and should see a worldwide release early 2005.

[jeffrey collins]

Wow good for Max Graham, that'll probably be one of the first 80's remixes that gets a proper release.

I still say the Rod Stewart Do you think i'm sexy JunkieXL mix is my fav. But after that is that Dire Straits track.
Then it'd have to be a remix i heard a good while back of The Cult's She Sells Sanctuary. Absolutely brilliant remix. I LOVE the original and now i love the remix.
