The xx Remixes
Yeah, yeah, blogging about The xx is so 2009.

The Flinch remix is new. It's understated dubstep with a groovy bassline -- which is refreshing.
The Florence + Machine remix is a classic. I would classify this as downtempo -- what do you think?
The Hood Internet - How Purple Can You Go (Ludacris vs. Joker & Ginz)
I've been a big fan of The Hood Internet for years. They were really the first great A+B mashup artists.
Actually, The Hood Internet is composed of two Chicago hipsters, DJ STV SLV and ABX.
I've always thought ABX had a much better ear -- his mashups just fit together.
DJ STV SLV is more concerned with eating Beef 'n' Cheddars at Arby's and Twittering on his Macbook.
Now ABX just took Ludacris' newest single (which is pretty much a straight up stripper anthem) and buttf****d it senseless by putting a Sega Genesis-influenced dubstep track by Joker & Ginz under it.
It's really when the bass drops at 0:40. OMG. The chipmunk sound with the stripped down percussion isn't really my thing....
The Hood Internet - How Purple Can You Go (Ludacris x Joker & Ginz)
Ellie Goulding
♥♥♥♥♥♥
Ellie Goulding is my age (23). She's Welsh. She's an indie singer songwriter, better known for her charming voice than her lyrics. Starsmith is her producer, who I'm not crazy about.
She's coming out with a debut album this year. When it comes out, expect the usual suspects in the blogopsphere to cover the hell out of it.
Above, I've posted one monster of a dubstep remix by Jeuce, and my favorite of her original work, Fighter Plane, where her vocals (and vocal effects) are prominent.

Dubstep + 8 Bit
Crookers - Businessman (DZ Remix)
If you like electronic dance music, you either consider dubstep to be the breath of fresh air in yet another year of electro house or an annoying trend you hope will go away.
Whatever it was, dubstep was huge in 2009.
Yes, most dubstep is formulaic and predictable. The best dubstep, however, surprises more than any other genre in edm.
Cue today's track...
This remix of Crookers falls somewhere between dubstep and whatever the hell kind of music Jack Beats makes (fidget house?). The first few minutes of this track are ABSOLUTELY NUTS. Just listen:
Zed’s Dead Baby, Zed’s Dead
Zeds Dead, two blokes from Ontario, are making some of the best dubstep out there.
Let's talk about the tracks, shall we?
Blue Foundation – Eyes on Fire (Zeds Dead Remix)
This is all over the place, in a good way. Female vocals over guitars, wobble base, phaser, and even 8-bit sounds make an appearance.
Radiohead – Pyramid Song (Zeds Dead Illuminati Remix)
Wow. What a brutal remix. Very inventive. This would either clear out the dance floor or be absolutely perfect, depending on the crowd.
Sublime – Doin’ Time (Zeds Dead Summer Grime Remix)
Their remix of Sublime is pretty standard, albeit pretty great. The drop sounds tight. The vocals could have been taken out with little damage to the track, but whatever.
Fenech-Soler - LA Love (Zeds Dead Remix)
More dubstep goodness. Like the Sublime remix, this feels like two different songs in one.
BONUS:
Barletta - Panther (Zeds Dead Remix)
Not their best, but if you like the rest, grab it.
