Frankie Knuckles - "Your Love" (Stanton Warriors Tribute Mix)
Since Frankie Knuckles' tragic passing the internet has been set ablaze with tribute tracks to the house music hero. This week, UK-based duo, Stanton Warriors, whose body-rocking DJ mix we premiered yesterday, released an impressive reworking of Frankie's seminal anthem, "Your Love." Rearranging the track's iconic synth line and adding a dash of fluttering basslines, the duo provides a nostalgic remix that will send you into the weekend with a smile on your face and a some shake in your step.

Wrestlers - "Say Anything" (RAC Mix)
RAC continues to be one of dance music's most impressive remixers. Usually lending his magic touch to tracks that lean towards the pop-infused side of EDM, André Allen Anjos continues to score big points throughout the interweb with remixes of productions that we already can't get enough of. RAC doesn't necessarily strip the entire skeleton of an original, but usually just slides in to add a few sunshine-laced twists and turns. In the end, you'll always come back for more.

20syl - "Bet Dap Goom Bown" (BoomBap Festival Beat)
20syl is the king of the hip-hop/EDM crossover. Fans of both genres will find total satisfaction in the French producer's remixes that are riddled with rap-leaning rhythms, versus the usual sounds that one would find in most dance music. 20syl loves flipping the switch on buzzy hip-hop tracks yet just this week took a little trip back in time with the release of his funky reworking of a mysterious original from 1999 presented in conjunction with the BoomBap Hip-Hop festival, currently taking place in Remis, France.

Chris Malinchak - "Freak"

Elusive NYC producer Chris Malinchak is revered for summer-loving singles like "So Good to Me" and "If You Got It." With his latest release, "Freak," the producer takes a few steps away from the bubbly anthems we know him for and presents a more tech-house leaning joyride that successfully samples Bell Biv DeVoe's 1990 single "Poison." Stripping away most of the original while adding a bouncing drum line—Malinchak once again comes through with a seductive and danceable offering.


Indeep - "Last Night A DJ Saved My Life" (LeMarquis Remix)
Indeep's "Last Night a DJ Saved My Life" is a bedrock of dance music history. This timeless 1982 track says what we all know about just how powerful a DJ can be and how when you think all might be lost, all you need to do is turn up that volume knob. While some might think a tune of this stature falls into the "off-limits" area for remixers, French producer LeMarquis won a free pass. Released a mere eight days ago, this remix has been swirling around the internet in incredible form and puts a charming spin on a track that we all thought couldn't possibly get any better.
