OK. I have rattled on and on about remixes of songs that I loved or still love. So bear with me for a bit whilst I list my favourite lot of the moment.
1. Seamus Haji
If you love throwing your handbag around in a club, this is the DJ for you. A resident DJ at Pacha, Ibiza for 4 years, this South Londoner of an Irish/Indian descent can build up any song to make it an Ibiza summer killer track (whatever that means!). My current favourites are his treatment for Booty Luv's Boogie 2nite and Rihanna's Umbrella.
2. Dave Audé
I can't get enough of his remix (in collaboration with Richard Vission) for Hilary Duff's With Love. Án electro-friendly pop turned into a massive disco-thumping anthem. Dave has remixed for many mainstream pop acts such as Sting, Coldplay, Alanis Morrisette, Britney Spears, Paris Hilton and Kelly Clarkson. His remix for Madonna's Music in 2000 still remains unreleased.
3. Offer Nissim
I was introduced to the sound of this Israeli DJ by my good friend although I've kind of heard about him when I was in New York. Offer offers (sorry.. couldn't resist!) disco beats with a middle-eastern twist! His rare remixes for Madonna's Jump & Isaac are very well structured and his surprising use of acoustic tremolo (persian guitar) is a welcome change on the dancefloors. Check out his remix for Christina Aguilera's Hurt & Candy Man. Your feet will not stay still for long!
4. Jody den Broeder
Not much is known about this guy but he sounds Dutch to me! Take a listen to his incredible mix (Jody Destruction Remix) of Rihanna's Umbrella and you'll know he will be huge in no time! If you look at this DJ's discography, you'll be impressed too! He collaborates with Tony Moran and Chris Cox on many club hits including Madonna's Get Together, Nelly Furtado's 'Promiscous Girl' and Beyoncé's Irreplaceable! Go check him out!
5. Moto Blanco
The duo of Bobby Blanco & Miki Moto was nominated for a grammy last year for remixing Mary J. Blige's Be Without You. Deservedly so! Mary's lovelorn tale was reinvented as a massive club anthem. Since then, they've been commissioned to remix Bananarama, George Michael, Mutya (ex-Sugababes), Darren Hayes, Pet Shop Boys, Mika and Ciara.
