Help me find remixes of Alternative/indie bands for my radio show plzthx

[superfiction]

So I'm pitching a dance/electonic specialty show to my boss. I work at a commercial radio station in Seattle and he's totally down with the idea as long as I play remixes of our core artists (think mainstream alternative)

So far I've got...

mgmt (justice, soulwax)
phoenix (they have a whole remix album)
yeah yeah yeahs (atrak)
wolfmother(soulwax)
muse (soulwax)
Florence and the machine (jack beats)

...I know I look out of the loop, but i could really use some pointers. just trying to get good music on the radio...

Anything helps! thanks!

EDIT: this is the artist playlist I sent to my boss for him to approve. if you have other ideas for additions you think would fit the format those are welcome was well!

I really like this one.

Local Natives - Eyes Wide (Fool's Gold Remix)


Edit: not sure if Local Natives is mainstream enough for what you're looking for though...

[koryp]

Klaxons - remixes by Soulwax, Justice, and Van She
Friendly Fires - remix by Aeroplane
A Place to Bury Strangers have a remix EP

I'll think of some more in a minute.

Thanks guys but yeah what shotglass posted is more the direction im leaning. I'll totally use some of those though. also (and i know im being picky) im looking for officially sanctioned remixes more so than dj "ididthisinmybedroom" remixes...just to clarify

[gaypalmsprings]

[MissingPerson]

Do they have to be officially sanctioned, or do they just have to be uh, good?

[superfiction]

thank you! that arcade fire one totally works. especially cuz its a band more on his radar. i feel like people have definitely remixed vampire weekend and shit but i just dont know it?

[FoxeyLady]

I'm almost positive this one's "official".

[MissingPerson]

There's a great mashup of Smokey Robinson and Ocean of Noise that was done for.. Stereogum, I think? I don't have it to hand just this minute, but it's my favourite Arcade Fire remix by leagues.

[Mr. Porter]

off the top of my head

xx - crystalised sasha remix
phoenix - lisztomania alex metric remix
gorillaz - on melancholy hill an21 and max vangeli remix
hot chip - one life stand joris voorn remix
passion pit - the reeling sci fi bubblegum remix
Miike Snow - Silvia Dirty South & Sebastian Ingrosso Remix

[guedita]

Pantha Du Prince has remixed Animal Collective's Peacebone.
Girl Talk remixed Peter Bjorn and John's Let's Call The Whole Thing Off
Junior Boys remixed Caribou's Odessa
Toy Selectah remixed Vampire Weekend's Cousins

That's all I have off the top of my head of indie friendly stuff. This sounds like a cool radio project.

[clumsy342]

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

Here's a couple off the top of my head that I like a lot that are most definitely not just some dude in his basement

[gaypalmsprings]

[discobotica]

[superfiction]

damn.. you're gonna have a solid show yo.

[Mr. Porter]

That's a pretty cool radio station you work for

I couldnt agree more, super lucky that my boss has been willing to take chances and we've had success with being progressive with our programming. I dont think most markets have that luxury.

[shakermaker113]

some older ones... chemical bros remixed two charlatans songs. nine acre dust, and toothache. here's one, can't find the other. I have mp3s if you like.

[shakermaker113]

also their remix of oasis' falling down:



and swastika eyes:



pretty much anything the chemical brothers touch, actually.

[shakermaker113]

now I'm on a primal scream remix kick.

[superfiction]

yeah that oasis one is perfect! ill definitely be looking into their entire remix discography as well as obviously playing their tracks on the show. thanks!

[Mr. Dylanja]

Didn't NIN release a With Teeth Remix album?

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

Didn't NIN release a With Teeth Remix album?

It was Year Zero and it's really awesome.

good call! they have three I think. I knew this thread was a good idea

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

Off the top of my head they remixed Broken, Downward Spiral, the fragile, and Year zero, but there's very little dancey stuff on any of it. Definitely avoid Fixed and probably Things Falling Apart, but there is definitely a good remix of "heresy" on on of the versions of Further Down The Spiral and the YZ remix might have some fun stuff on it.

I'll think of more appropriate stuff i'm sure
