I'm constantly surprised by this blog game, and how tracks will just take off over the internet and grow a quick following. Nowhere does this surprise me more than in the remix world, where it often seems that timing is as important as anything in getting plays for your track.
I got passed a fantastic refix of Crookers' new banger "What Up Y'all" by FNGRLCKN, and I just can't get enough. Like a lot of my favorite remixes, it's a subtle one (is that what a refix is? I don't know words that aren't in Urban Dictionary) and it really brings out the hot parts of the original. Doesn't overly hack up Crookers version, choosing instead to reorder it a little, insert some underlying rhythm patterns, and make it a little more vocal. I dig it, in a major way.
So I was surprised to catch the Dirty Disco Youth Remix all over the web, with the FNGRLCKN refix nowhere to be found. The Dirty Disco Youth Remix is good, don't get me wrong, and it's definitely more of a departure from the original, but I think this version deserves a little more love than it has gotten.
So check it out.

The Dirty Disco Youth Remix is genious and this one is just a nice edit... Maybe this is the reason why you can d´find the ddy remix everywhere!
i still prefer the fngrlckn version out of the lot.
simple funk.
FNGRLCKN gives this track a musical swagger and bravado...and a touch of melodrama...needed to make it work. Opening the sonic space gives room for a story to unfold. Great job!
FNGRLCKN track is fucking awful
the fngrlckn track fucking sucks... anyone that does a "refix" (whats up with all these stupid fucking names????!!!) of a track using just the downloaded mp3 is an idiot. the quality is so bad... edit .wav's or .aiff's then convert to mp3 and at least you'll have something of decent quality.
so annoying all these looser producers doing "refix"s mashups and edits of popular tracks.
