Well folks, this is it. The moment you have all been waiting for since I foolishly started this multipart post during SXSW. Make sure you have read Part 1 (60-41) and Part 2 (40-21) before diving into these jams. But without further ado, I present the top 20 Best Underrated Songs of the past 6 years. Listen to them closely and frequently. They deserve the love. Read more
Welcome back party peeps. We, Joel & Scott are proud to bring you our Top 50 Remixes of 2010.Totally wish we could think of some rad shite to introduce this wicked cool Top 50 list with, but we’re both having some serious writers block here. Typically in this situation we would just drink or get some sort of major caffeine stimulation (often both). Not gonna lie, we enjoyed the hell out of our super strong energy/alcoholic beverages, but thanks to Central Washington University students the shite is outlawed. Please, we’d love to hear your side of the story.  Anyway,… by now if you are a TBE follower you know that we are two dudes (Joel & Scott) originally from Seattle that just love to get Nurdy’ and melt our faces on that dirty d-floor.  And yeah, remixes to us are what platinum haired Bunnies are to Hugh Hefner.
Lastly, you might think its a little late for a “Best of List”, but that was a deliberate move on our part. We at TBE don’t believe in a “Best of List” before the New Year and we really wanted to take our time. 2010 was an incredible year for DJs and remix artists around the world. Our top two remixes this year may very well be two of our top remixes of all time. Its amazing to see the support DJs are now getting around the globe. Don’t forget that they’re the ones that keep us dancing.
Keep dancing all, and if any of the following songs change your life YOU’RE WELCOME. (Don’t forget to check out our Top 10 Dubstep Remixes of 2010)

2. ♫ The Good Natured- Your Body Is A Machine (Baby Monster remix)
It’s a new year and a lot of good stuff piled up over the holidays. Considering it’s the 18th Digest, today is the 18th (close enough…), and I have 18 tracks, I think this is some kind of perfect Digest or something. Dig in. But really, dig. There are some real gems in the mix down there.

TBE favorites like Penguin Prison, Javelin, Brahms, The Knocks, and Treasure Fingers and more will be rocking socks with full voltage. One night, two venues (around the corner from each other!), 29 acts (and counting!), and only $35! I will be stateside for the holidays and am making a special stop in NYC on that weekend so expect to see a super tall dude with a TBE shirt flailing about somewhere. If you would like to get your flail on as well then here is your chance to win 2 tickets to the festival! Read more
Did someone say remixes!?!? Oh, no, that was just the sound of my sweat hitting the laptop, which along with the clackity of the keyboard, sounded like morse code for “roundup.” Shit, I may be losing it in this heat…

♫ Sleigh Bells – A/B Machines (French Horn Rebellion Remix) / I get a little bummed out every time I hear this but that is only cause French Horn Rebellion will be opening for Cut Copy this Saturday IN WARSAW but I will be on vacation. How’s that for shitty luck? Well, my trip is going to be pretty epic in it’s own right, a lot like this remix, so I can’t really complain. Now get dirty with this glitch-heavy take on the Sleigh Bells shredder!
♫ Focus – Hocus Pocus (Buffetlibre Remix) / Buffetlibre are back and Read more
I feel like we know each other well enough that I can be honest with you, right? Well I gotta say that sometimes I put a remix in one of these roundups that I am not totally in love with but is interesting/unique/whatever. I just want you to know that even though this is the longest roundup ever at 17 tracks this is not one of those cases. All these jams are going off and I am soooo stoked to be delivering them to you! Dive in! The water is hott!
