So much stuff that I like here, I had to download all of the rest that I didn’t know. Not been a keen fan of Alex Metric before, but I’ll take your word for it and listen these versions.
Holy Ghost and Monarchy were a match made in heaven!
I’ve enjoyed all the Clock Opera remixes this year too.
Have you had a chance to hear our best local talent from Brighton, Little Loud, as he’s done a few decent remixes recently? We posted about him here >> http://therecommender.net/2010/11/20/little-loud-remix-special-part-9
Thanks for this quality post.

Personally, I think Designer Drugs had the best “Love Get Out of My Way” remix of the year, but to each his own.
Outstanding list of remixes (many of which I hadn’t heard before). Thanks for the good tunes!
I love these remixes, especially the BIG and Miley one. I arranged Party in the USA for orchestra, it’s an awesome song to work with. So are the listed 25 in order from best to worst? They’re all awesome, so its tough to judge!
