M.I.A., “Hit That” [Unreleased Track]
The genesis of “Paper Planes”? M.I.A. tells us more about all she wants to do over a big, bounding percussion track.

The Beatles, “Money” [Mike the 2600 King's F--k You Pay Me Remix]
Is it us, or is there a surplus of Beatles remixes floating around these days? This eager, booming re-working of “Money” proves some messages are timeless.

Justice ft. Daft Punk, Kanye West, A-Trak & Diplo, “Fortisphere” [Immukization Blend]
More ambitious mash-ups from Immuzikation, this one giving the day-glo 8-bit treatment to Kanye & Co. Apparently, the remix game these days is all about edgy replications of the soundtracks to old Nintendo games. Word to Simon Belmont!

The White Stripes, “Seven Nation Army” [Tim DeLuxe Remix]
Extended intro? Check. Rubberized bassline? Check. Synthetic drum track? Check. An oldie but a goodie, Tim DeLuxe drags Jack White kicking and screaming into the rave.

The Raveonettes, “Aly Walk With Me” [Nic Endo Remix]
Nic Endo turns the Raveonettes inside out with a clutch of icicle synths and a grim, spidery rhythm, making the remix somehow creepier than the original.
