° Chief’s Top Remixes Of 2k10 °
by Chief

Remixes have become vehicles of influence. They allow an artist to define themselves in relation to their contemporaries, as well as introduce their sound to a wider audience. My favorite artists seem to understand this concept, and this list of remixes embraces an evolution in the industry.

Honorable Mentions:

The XX – Basic Space (Mount Kimbie Remix)
This would have been my top remix of 2k9 if I had been aware of its existence.

The Beatles – And I Love Her (Allure Remix)

Solar Bears – Twin Stars (Lone Remix)

–

10. Kuhn – Quiet Nights (Young Montana Remix)

9. Deerhunter – Helicopter (Star Slinger Remix)

8. Baths – ♥ (Daedelus’ Snorelaxed Remix)

7. CFCF – It Was Never Meant To Be This Way (Games Remix)

6. Toro Y Moi – Fax Shadow (Shlohmo Remix)

5. Neon Indian – Sleep Paralysist (Com Truise ‘Eyelid’ Remix)

4. Treasure Fingers – Lift Me (Gabriell Remix)

3. Air – So Light Is Her Footfall (Breakbot Remix)

2. Osborne – Afrika (Bullion Remix)

° Breakbot + Air °
by Chief

I was just sent a remix Breakbot did for Air in support of Oxfam America‘s Haiti recovery effort. I love how Breakbot is able to swallow each artist he remixes and mold them into his own aesthetic. I just throw all of his music into one playlist and cruise.

Air – So Light Is Her Footfall (Breakbot Remix)
