Robyn “Dancing On My Own” (DJ Zax Re-Work)

Jackpot! Swedish indie-pop princess, Robyn has three albums of new material out this year. Body Talk Pt. 1 is due out June 15th and the lead single is Dancing On My Own. There are already some fantastic remixes by Chew Fu and Rex The Dog, but I love the production of the original version so I re-worked it to be more club friendly, boosting the tempo and adding some heavier beats.

Scissor Sisters “Invisible Light” (DJ Zax Re-Work)

The Scissor Sisters whet our appetite for their upcoming album, Night Work with this fantastic Stuart Price-produced teaser track. There’s even a Vincent Price Thriller-Esque moment with an epic voice over by Sir Ian McKellen. I made this re-work for the clubs, picking up the tempo and beefing up the track with some new drums and synths. Don’t sleep on this one!

Alanis Morissette – You Oughta Know 2009 (DJ ZAX vs. Wideboys Club Mix)

Jagged Little Pill got me through my angstful teenage years, and I remain a devoted Alanis Morissette fan to this day. It is rare for an Alanis acapella to see the light of day, so imagine my surprise when the vocals from “You Oughta Know” surfaced nearly 15 years after the song was released. This is my tribute to a song and an artist whose music is so important to me.

Keri Hilson – Turnin’ Me On (DJ ZAX vs. Mark Pichiotti Club Mix)

I have long wanted a dance mix of Keri Hilson’s “Turnin’ Me On,” so when I received the acapella I decided to make this mashup using a Mark Pichiotti instrumental. The resulting mix reminds me of Maurice Joshua’s signature style.

Rihanna – Breakin’ Dishes (DJ ZAX vs. Spencer & Hill Electro Club Mix)

I am glad Rihanna’s label has finally decided to promote this single. It is only too bad that it was because Chris Brown beat her up. I am also happy she sings, “I’m kickin’ asses” in the acapella that was released (unlike on the censored album version). Is “ass” really that bad of a word?
I restructured Spencer & Hill’s dub of “Flat” and added Rihanna’s vocal with a healthy dose of reverb and other effects. The result is a peak hour electro club banger. I’m also including a clean radio edit, in which she doesn’t say she’s “kickin’ asses.”
