Remix Tudesay: Alphabeat do Gaga, Faust does Fare Soldi, and Monsieur Adi does Javi...

We've been sent a few remixes over the last few days and have been meaning to write about all of them. So here they are in one digestible, waffle lite, cut and paste post.

1. Javi 'Situation' Monsieur Adi remix

Hands up who had not heard of Javi prior to this? *puts hand up with a hint of embarrassment*. Ok hands down. Listen to this and then come back to us:

Download: Javi 'Situation' Monsieur Adi Remix

Here is Javi. He is from Puerto Rico. He wears a pair of braces well. He makes jaunty electro pop. Monsieur Adi works his magic by upping the funky riffs and truncating the vocals. He also adds *caps lock on* SAXOPHONE AND STRINGS. What does that tell you? It tells you that this is fantastic, that's what. When is Monsieur Adi going to produce an album? We demand answers.

2. Fare Soldi 'Tutto Tutti Sempre Subito' Justin Faust Remix

We can partly translate the title of this song because we know that Tutti Frutti ice cream is 'all the fruits'. And 'Per Sempre Amore' was a song by internationally renowned singer Lolly which was handily bracketed with the English translation 'Forever In Love'.

Download: Fare Soldi 'Tutto Tutti Sempre Subito (Translation: Something All The Fruits Forever In Love Something)' Justin Faust Remix

This is nicely restrained, and has a real jaunty, uplifting rhythm to it. Two international thumbs up.

3. Lady Gaga 'Telephone' Alphabeat Remix

This one's a bit of a surprise. Alphabeat have turned Gaga and Beyonce's call barring ballad not into a pop epic, but into a hundered beats per minute dance epic. It was a mistake to lose Beyonce's "Grand Central Station" line which, for us, is the core of the track, but 2:12 is where this really kicks off. Love the whistles.



And that's quite enough remixes for one day thank you very much.
