Remix suggestions

For my 1,001 post on DJTT :eek:, I’d like to ask all of you to suggest a song for me (and other DJTT producers) to remix.

You guys are DJs. I know there are songs that you’ve heard at some point and thought in your head “damn that would make a sick remix.”

I’d like to do a remix of a popular song from the 1980’s with some kind of synth lead that would lend itself to an electronic update. Basically what that means is I don’t want to remix any Poison or Bon Jovi or anything (for personal reasons and for the sake of my “reputation” :slight_smile:).

Also preferably something that hasn’t already been remixed a bunch of times (see: Sweet Dreams and any Michael Jackson).

I’m not completely stuck on the 80’s theme, I just thought it would cool to do something that was a nice change of pace. Anything that you think would make a solid remix I’m open to. Also, I’m not worried about acapellas or anything, I can work around that in some cases.

this isnt 80’s but i think it would be great

ive been dying for a sick remix of “know your enemy” or “testify” by rage against the machine. its just the right bpm (above 115 or so) to make it into a 127-128 remix

sings
i’ve…had…
…the time of my life…
and i owe it all to you!

(bring on the 80s cheese)

Safety Dance!!!

I’d really love Gallery by Mario Vazquez. If you could put that to a sick beat I would be very happy.

6

something from Yaz, Duran Duran, Soft Cell, Depeche Mode. Synth POP!

7

Bela lugosi’s Dead

8

we have someone that killed that song already…

we look sooo cool with paintball mask…that is sooo last decade.

9

Yeah, that sucks, but Lambox’s normal kinda chill style could do the song justice.

Zhane-Hey Mr. DJ

11

lucky star by madonna

12

Joy Division - Love will tear us apart … catchy synth line and Ian Curtis Vocals that cause goosebumps

13

not in the requested period but…

The chorus of this song (1.20 for the lazy’s) is sick i reckon, would love to be able to use it!
Also i want that feather get up

14

LOL. Are those guys for real with those outfits? Paintball masks? I have never heard of these guys, but i can’t stop laughing. Where did u find this?

15

Nominating this because it’s Radiohead and I think it could probably be remixed quite well… it’s not 80’s but it’s awesome.

16

Fade to grey- Visage. Good rolling synth. Love it.

17

they must be sweaty beyond all logical reason

18

Wow guys thanks a ton for all these suggestions! Most of these songs I’ve never heard of, so I’m gonna take a few minutes to check all of them out.

We’ll see what happens!

19

yeah that’s a cool tune from FOC, pretty blatant hat-tip/spoof of Prince.

i wish they’d do a new season or a movie or something, two seasons is not enough.

20

that would be dope.

Please dont kill a classic.

I found them on youtube. Reminds me of a lot of djs here from l.a.
