Remixes that are better than the OG.

What are some of the hands down clear cut examples of where the remix kills the original? Hip Hop, Dance, R&B or whatever...


I have crazy jetlag right now, so here is a photo of a little bastard who stole my coke on the beach while I was away and proceeded to thoroughly enjoy it right in front of me.

    I see your Jamie XX and raise you a Cousin Cole. I'm biased because he's my homie, but to me this is the best Adele remix out there



    Also, not sure why this popped into my head this morning, but Quentin Harris killed it on this remix:

    Day generally falls under the same "anything touched by" rule that Cut Chemist does.

    I'll probably get shit on for this one, but fuggit. I personally like it a little better, particularly the arrangement, and I also appreciate that dude didn't fuck with the mix too much. It's still got a classic disco/chic feel, just updated a little.

    The OG, of course, is classique too, but this remix has been in mind garden rotation for a couple months.

    Thank you much.

    I should have been more specific, the remix of electric relaxation is only better for a dance floor
    and i prefer the verses on the remix of madizm, but thats just my opinion
