It’s been a long time coming, but after numerous delays it’s finally here! The first of the newly revieved remix monday’s tasked you all with remixing Gtronic’s Sucker Punch and remix you did! In total I listened to 47 remixes from many different genres. It was honestly hard to pick the top 3. So many of them were neck and neck that I had to listen to them over and over again. Here are my decisions.

My overall top pick for the Sucker Punch Remix Monday is.. Thrusher! I was actually not impressed with this remix the first time I listened to it. Then I listened to it over and really picked up on each little change. Yes, it is very Skrillex like, so If you’re a fan of you’ll love this remix. But even if you aren’t a fan (like myself) you’ll still end up loving it after a few listens.

Second place goes to Arcade Velocity! I loved this remix for a number of reasons, the 8-bit style, the relative simplicity, but the main reason is definitely the “Falcon Punch” sample from F-Zero that’s right before the drops. I will play this out just to hear that sample.

It’s hard to make a track like Sucker Punch even harder than it already is without seriously endangering the lives of those around you when playing it, but somehow Sgt. Filthenstien grabbed the 3rd place spot and managed to take it to 11 all at the same time. No word yet on wether or not this will kill people, so be careful.

Welcome back to Remix Monday! As I mentioned yesterday it’ll be back in a very limited fashion from now on, basically when everyone starts getting restless and feels like it’s time for another one. This time you’ll be remixing one of my favorite rawer tracks, Sucker Punch by Gtronic. He broke on the scene in late 2009 with his track Iron Man (still a big track) and once he was signed to Dim Mak all bets were off.

Remix Monday Group
Doing this will enable everyone to go through at the end and judge all the remixes for themselves.

3. I’ll pick the three best remixes and post them. I’m trying to work out prizes for next time, but for this one you’ll just have to do it for honor and pride.

Welcome back again to Remix Monday! This week everyone was tasked with remixing Swedish House Mafia’s Leave The World Behind and I’ve picked the best of the best remixes below.

Being that this is a massive House track I was more than a little surprised to hear this amazing dubstep remix come in. I may be a little biased towards dubstep after listening to Udachi’s Guest Mix last week, but you just can’t ignore how good this is.

This next remix is another one that stood out for me because of the change to the melody. It’s a bit different, but it just sounds right.

And here’s one more remixy By Captured By Kings that I was really digging.

If you want to listen to more of the remixes just head over to Remixmonday.com

Now as you know I’ve created Remixmonday.com for submitting tracks, but some people have experenced problems uploading on there, so you won’t be required to upload your track on remixmonday.com for it to be entered. Sending them to my SoundCloud or email will still work. Remixmonday.com will be more of a place for everyone to see your finished work and for people to vote on your track (my top picks aren’t based on how many votes you get).

With that said, this week you’ll be remixing… Beastie Boys – Sabotage! I thought I’d see how you all could handle a remixing a song that wasn’t straight electro or house. Grab the stems below and get to work!

It was super hard choosing a winner for the first Remix Monday. In all I received 31 remixes which all had very unique character. I’d like to thank everyone who entered over the past two weeks. I really didn’t think this would be a big a hit as it’s been, but I’m glad it’s had a strong start.

So without further ado, taking the crown in the first Remix Monday is PatrickAwesome! Out of all the remixes, this one is my favorite in terms of what he did with the vocals.

Ocelot – Our Time (PatrickAwesome Remix) by PatrickAwesome

A few honorable mentions:

Barletta decided to do a nice great remix for the comp!

Despite the use of Justice drums, I also enjoyed Kugli’s remix.

and last but not least, is this remix by Chemikal Recipe. They were one of the only ones to take the track away slightly from the electro house vibe with some UK Garage.
