More Eclectic Listening

Since I haven't posted any tracks in a couple of weeks I will make it up to you with a series of abnormally large posts over the next few days, sound good? OK, now that we've kissed and made up, I guess we can proceed to the music...Rather than sorting out my recent listening habits, I will just post up the tracks in the order they sit in my iChoons playlist, lazy I know, but since by the end of this week I should have posted over 30 tracks, this is real time-saver! Today's goodness brings some classics, some newer tunes and some that are just cool. First up is an acoustic version of the Black Ghosts track "Anyway You Choose To Give It" that I thought would be a good addition for the remixers out there since the track is predominantly just the vocals. Next is a solid remix of the T&S pop tune "Back In Your Head" which has gotten revisioned by numerous producers out there, I know, but this one from Morgan Page is dope. After that is the standard from Sam Sparro, check out "Black & Gold" if you haven't already.
Following the older with the newer is a block of four (count 'em F-O-U-R, don't say I don't love you all!) tracks from up and coming dubstep producer Rusko who I just heard is getting tapped on remix duties for Kanye West. This kid has talent, outside of some Burial stuff, you normally couldn't pay me to sit through a dubstep album, but he can take it from electro to wobbly and wonky to heavy Jamaican dub sounds like a pro.
After the hotness that is Rusko comes one from Heavyfeet, Santiago and Bushido punch in for remix honors on "Sick Like That" for a more traditional electro jam worth checking out. On to a track with a more singular vision is the juke remix of "Short Dick Man" originally done by 20 Fingers getting a fresh coat of paint from DJ Godfather. And finally, is a track I blindly stumbled into, sadly it has no info associated with it other than the title, "crunky" which is a little misleading as you won't hear this banging out the windows with anything with dubs on that bitch, but more likely to hear from your Prius driving, Aphex loving friends.

Here they are:

The Black Ghosts - Anyway You Choose To Give It (acoustic version)
Tegan and Sara - Back In Your Head (Morgan Page Remix)
Sam Sparro - Black & Gold

Adele - Cold Shoulder (Rusko Remix)
Claude VonStroke - Groundhog Day (Rusko Remix)
Rusko - 2NAQ
Rusko - Jahova

Heavyfeet - Sick Like That f. Switch MC (Santiago & Bushido Remix)
20 Fingers - Short Dick Man (DJ Godfather Ghetto Tech Rmx)
crunky

enjoy!

Next time we'll have a new remix of the classic "I Got Five On It," some unavoidable but still dope Crookers, some new tracks from up-and-comers like Bombaman and the sure-to-set-things-on-fire Oliver $. Same bat-time, same bat-channel so don't sleep.
