Dua Lipa

NENAH CHERRY!

no BBC hallucinate remix no credibility

excuse me, tracks 11, 14, 17 and 18!

11 HALLUCINATE [MR FINGERS AMBIENT DEEP STRIPPED MIX]
14 DON'T START NOW [YAEJI REMIX]
ROBERT OWENS
17 THAT KIND OF WOMAN [JAQUES LU CONT REMIX]
STEVIE NICKS
18 BREAK MY HEART [MOODYMANN REMIX]

moodymann damn

wow

a lot of those “guests” are just samples. E.g. Neneh doesn’t appear but the remix includes a sample of Buffalo Stance.

Still, this looks fun

this sounds wild! Gobsmacked at Moodyman and Mr. Fingers.

My elementary aged daughter loves a couple Dua Lipa songs, especially Break My Heart, and her crusty old dad loves Moodymann. I'm looking forward to this bizarrely.

boo at that just being a cherry sample. ah well.

I'd have to worry about anyone who didn't love at least a coupla Dua Lipa tracks, bld. I hope it works out!

that's a cool way to highlight samples though xp

really all that's missing here is a remix ft koffee or sun-el to complete ilm bingo

Will definitely check this out because I’m a big fan of Future Nostalgia (album of the year so far), but that heavily-hyped “Levitating” remix with Madonna and Missy was absolute trash.

11. “Hallucinate” – Paul Woolford Extended Remix
Sample: Larry Heard Presents Mr. White – “The Sun Can’t Compare”

It might not be the BBC remix but holy shit

Oh good lord we don't deserve this.

gen hoshino sure is a weird pick for this

My hot take here is that I would much rather hear peak Neneh Cherry or Missy or Stevie Nicks repurposed here than what they're doing now, especially in the hands of Larry Heard or Moodymann or even JLC (whose track will almost certainly be the laziest here).

it's not on here but the tensnake remix of hallucinate was good too btw:

yes, that Tensnake is fun

as Tombot said earlier, No Ben Howell BBC News remix, no credibility.

The Mr. Fingers remix needs to be 20 times longer and also starting it off with "Hollaback Girl" should be illegal

wait, this is DJ mix not tracks?

yeah I hope there's a version that is unmixed and has extended version of the tracks

what a fucking monumental let down!

I usually don't mind Mark Ronson but his remix is just... awful

Nobody's remixed anything. It's Just a B. Madonna mix of Dua tracks with Dua Lipa laid vox over other tracks by the people listed.

I want my money back.

It's just a BM DJ mix with Dua Lipa vox laid over.

:-(

i mean...it was never advertised as anything other than basically a blessed madonna x dua lipa DJ-kicks?

personally i think it's really fun! i was very underwhelmed by the madonna & missy remix, but it sounds a little less drab in context and there are many other entertaining moments. "boys will be boys" finally making sense as a samba workout! jayda-g doing "cool"! mr fingers elevating "hallucinate"!

not sure why it's being retconned into this era but i liked the new take on "kiss and make up" as well.

i haven't heard it yet but I was under the impression that BM was playing curator for these remixes by other people. def changes things if it's a mix.

it's both as far as I understand it?

The tracks have been remixed by the artists listed but it's been assembled as a mix?

yes, that's correct (sorry if I implied otherwise). The Blessed Madonna has taken the various remixes and turned them into what's more or less a continuous ~50 min mix

this thread has me doubting reality

anyway this is a much cooler idea than a normal remix album

xpost yep I'm listening now and that's what it is - sorry, was thrown off by jed's "nobody's remixed anything" post upthread.

I don't know about this... there are some good moments but the mix feels rushed, there's barely any time for the tracks to breathe. both the Mr. Fingers and Paul Woolford remixes need to be wayyyy longer than two minutes wtf.

Faves so far: BM's own remix of Love is Religion (is that a new track?) might be the best thing here, so joyful. also liked the Jayda G and "Boys will be Boys" remixes, and the Dimitri from Paris edit - is it time for the jamiroquai re-appraisal yet? 

Worst: the Mark Ronson remix as mentioned above (Gwen Stefani doesn't have the chops to carry that huge "Physical" chorus at all, yikes) and the JLC remix which is just hilariously lazy.  

need the unmixed versions of these ... could barely make out the mr fingers track

xp to Roz - the Paul Woolford remix is available as a full version (this came out around the time "Hallucinate" was released as a single): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3VqeJGcW680

ooh thanks!

Kids all over twitter saying how awful this is. One 20-second snippet of the MAW one has them generally freaking out underneath 'it sounds like a load of random computer game noises!'.

There are some pretty ancient names involved, you'd think remix culture would've moved on a bit in the last three or four decades.

.. although by contrast someone on PJ claims 'the vibe makes me wanna pour a babycham and do a line off someone’s D' so, horses for courses.

I don’t blame the kids - given how rushed this feels, there’s hardly anything for them to latch on to and the lack of name recognition doesn’t help. Like aside from Missy and Madonna, they prob don’t know anyone else than maybe Yaeji and Mark Ronson (the latter’s is the one they all seem to like so go figure).

I've got as far as the Boys Will Be Boys remix and everyone concerned is half-arsing this so transparently.

lol even the Moodymann mix is astonishingly half-baked

That's one of the better ones IMO, the Horse Meat Disco one is OK and the Paul Woolford is good, but that's about it. Larry Heard barely even bothered to get out of bed.

I suppose we should have looked at the track listing and seen 'annoying Girl Talk album' in our collective future but we live and learn.

Larry Heard barely even bothered to get out of bed.

this is probably because he wasn't one of the remixers

Track 10 is him, right?

oh lol whoops i got my signals crossed you're right

tbf no one is at 100% working from home

The only part of the part listed as Larry Heard is a snippet of The Sun Can’t Compare with Dua vox laid over it.
