Man oh man. Could we be in a better world for fun remixes of great songs? Some of the old guard has been slacking in quality lately (RAC, where you at?) but new talent is cropping up in droves. Cyril Hahn practically made his name from that Destiny’s Child remix. Noah Hyde is on the map with amazing work. Manu el Chino nabs his second spot of 2012. Too many great tracks. Get on it for the weekend and check out all the bands and remixers you may have missed through the years. And especially listen to that Years & Years remix. What a genre flip. Mmmm…..
Be sure to catch all the 2012 “BEST OF†lists!

Cover songs are still my favorite way for emerging bands to put their own sound on a hit song and get easy attention. However 2012 was for some reason a slow year for cover songs. Luckily a handful of bands did them well and left us with flipped and twisted takes on old classics and net hits alike. Here are my 10 favorites (#1 at the bottom). What did I miss? Read more

Why: Click on any of the band links above and you wont get a post by this site. That’s because they are all pre-TBE. That golden age of alternative/post-punk/emo/indie rock that was filled with as many hooks as raw edges. PK are boldly going where many have gone before and reminding us that its a pretty damn fun place to be. Guitars, hooks, and driving rhythm sections. Listening to “Chase The Sky” makes me rather be at one of their concerts than most of the ones I’ve been to recently. Which is lucky because they will be playing alongside Jhameel and Y Luv in a show The Burning Ear is damn proud to present. October 23rd, right here in LA at the Silverlake Lounge. Book your flights now.
BY THE WAY! Did I mention that they cast magical spells on this Crystal Castles/Robert Smith joint and conjured up this cover that I can’t stop listening to. If they play this live I will pop.

Oh snap. This shit be heavy. Two of the heaviest hitters in their respective genres taking swings at your gut with bass bats. We know that the hip hop flavor looks good on this jam but props to Sound Remedy for taking it to the next level. #goinlargeonafriday

It’s been a while since the original appeared on Crystal Castles II but some days you can’t fight the gloom of winter and on those days Crystal Castles are just right. Here HEALTH improve that trip by massaging out the song into a smoother and slicker stretch of moon-lit asphalt. This remix would have gone perfectly in the night scenes in Drive. Although I can’t say I recommend creating those scenes yourself.
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)
