David Bowie / Rebel Rebel (Soulwax Re Edit)
Rebel Rebel is already such a classic but in the hands of Soulwax it becomes an all out high octane club thriller. I first heard this version at a friend's (URSA//MINOR's) DJ set and it pretty much blew my mind. The re edit starts with the sounds of Soulwax totally fucking about with the track while they throw in some nice little samples of Bowie's other great track DJ. Then, in comes the classic guitar riff and the nostalgia begins until...what's this!? Some fantastic new beats arrive as the classic guitar riff is suddenly thrown through a filter, basically turning the EPIC level up to a 1000. Amazingly, Soulwax make Rebel Rebel sound even more life-affirming than before and equal to that it now sounds officially danceable. This is the sound of Rebel Rebel flying through space at a million miles per hour...WOW.

This gets on my nerves... murders the original for me :P a bit too noisy and not quite inventive enough for me.
