Bloc Party were one of those influential bands that swayed me back to dance beats. Even though I grew up with some form of dance music playing in the background hip hop and rock music dueled to compete for the most played genre in my library. Bloc Party were that in between… the little indie, little rock, little electro, little interesting, and a lot unique band. At least when it came to four years ago, there was a lot to capture for someone listening to a BP track.
Typically, it was their hit banquet that took me by storm. But not with the original- the Phones dance remix. That remix was a beauty! So to pay a small tribute to the remix that made me seek out other remixes… we salute you and all the other BP remixes that knock our socks off!
Bloc Party – Zephyrus (Holy Fuck Remix)
BONUS!
♫ Bloc Party – Signs (Armand Van Helden Remix)
♫ Bloc Party – One More Chance (Alex Metric Remix)
♫ Bloc Party – Hunting For Witches (Crystal Castles Remix)
Yeah Yeah Yeahs are another band that seem to drift seemlessly between genres and their music lends itself to some amazing remixes.
