I'm looking for remixes of older music, mostly 80's & earlier. It can be newer but I'm going for an old-school sound.
What I really DON'T want is house, techno or anything with that repetitive thom-thom-thom beat - it's gotta be more creative than just tacking a beat onto someone else's song.
Some examples of favorites -
Dinah Washington - Is You Is Or Is You Ain't My Baby (Verve Remixed 3)
Gabin - Just Be Yourself (Mr. Freedom)
Gabin - Other Way Around (Mr Freedom)
Deep Dish - Dreams (George Is on)
Johnny Cash - (Johnny Cash Remixed) - Get Rhythm
Sarah Vaughan - Fever (Verve Remixed)
The Doors - Strange Days (Thievery Corp)
The Doobie Brothers - Long Train Runnin' [Remix]
What Is Hip - (What Is Hip: Remix Project 1) - Tower Of Power
Ventura Highway - America - (What Is Hip: Remix Project 1)
Boogie Pimps - Somebody To Love (Saltshaker Remix Radio Edit)
Elvis Presley - Polk Salad Annie - Remix By Jack
Mo' Horizons - Hit The Road Jack (Pe Na Estrada)
(tried to post links but I struck out...)
Upbeat is definitely good. The challenge is to find music that's old school but exciting in a new, creative way. And if there's a name for this genre I don't know it.
