THE REMIXES – PART 6 - THE SHOES
So busy are this French double act that we weren’t sure if it was actually possible to complete a comprehensive catalogue of their remixes! There’s millions out there! OK, so perhaps not quite that many, but this is the biggest Remix Special that we’ve ever done, following our previous editions covering The Golden Filter, The Twelves, Bloc Party, DiscoTech and Soulwax.
We think The Shoes are head and shoulders above most when it comes to blending up other people’s tunes. They add a distinctive, but always brilliant, pounding four beat. The kind of beat that dance music was born for. The kind of beat that moves your legs for you. They add their perfect pace, together with a few chopped up synths, but like all the best remixers they respectfully maintain a lot of the orignal track and vocals.

I saw The Shoes last year at Loop and I really liked them. They smoked on stage despite being asked to put them out countless times, providing a very french V’s up in retort.
I thought their sound was very 80s Brooklyn beat done really well, it’s not jump-up but it’s clearly all about the party vibe and those boys definitely kick it with style.
rad post! hadn’t heard the remix they did for Marina & The Diamonds, thanks.
oh and I just threw up the Tom Deluxx remix of “People Movin” up on my site http://www.thornsandarrows.com its so heavy. cheers
thanks for the awesome set of remixes again! Good choice on The Shoes.
I always loved primary 1 remix, I can’t ever get enough of that one. Esser, and Marina & the Diamonds one, also top notch.
Keep up with the good work, one of the few blogs that actually puts up good quality, not quantity.
Thanks to all of you for these kind words. Agree with you all.
Emm – True dat…
All the best,
Mike
