Tor x Sufjan Stevens x Grand Puba

^ That album is 17 years old and STILL a classic.

-

From the Sufjan Stevens mash-up (yep, still hate that term) album by Tor. This is great, and well worthy of its own post.

Lykke Li - Little Bit (Loving Hand Remix) mp3

A strange little remix of Lykke's strange little pop song from The Loving Hand (Hercules & Love Affiar producer and Mo Wax records co-founder Tim Goldsworthy).

This has been around for months now, but I thought it was worthy of a post of it's own.

Warwick Avenue - Duffy feat. Wale mp3

Washington DC rapper (and recent signee to Mark Ronson's fledgling label, Allido Records) tags a verse onto Duffy's single from earlier this year, which I assume is now getting airplay in the US.

Coldplay x Jay-Z

According to the fair hand of Mr. Paltrow himself, Jay-Z has hopped on a remix to Lost!, the new Coldplay single, and we'll get to hear that very soon indeed. The album version of the song certainly lends itself to rap, due to it's big boom-bap beats. Personally, I will still only listen to the more acoustic piano-led demo version, which is far superior in my opinion.

That said, Jay-Z on form might be drag me towards this version though.

Erykah Badu - Real Thang (Remix featuring Clipse & Re-Up Gang) mp3

Another 'rap remix' appears for a Badu album track. I'm not sure that this needed a new beat (the Madlib-produced original cannot be bettered), but an appearance from the Clipse and their 'weed carriers' can't hurt. Produced by Tumblin' Dice, mp3 courtesy of noz.
