I had to bring Wrecks the Dog* in for surgery on Weds, and to honor him I wanted to post up some real Rex the Dog remixes. I realize we here at Resonator have already posted a lot of them at one point or another, but with our server switch in February (amongst other reasons) we lost all our old archive of mp3s. So here are a few of classic ones for your re-listening pleasure:
Classic mix of heartbeats; only topped by the live BBC mix that The Knife themselves did.
The Knife - Heartbeats (Rex The Dog Remix).mp3
Poptronica? Nice little remix taking the pop sound of The Sounds and then adding the classic Rex the Dog twist to it. I love this remix, though I think you have to not hate The Sounds to enjoy this.
The Sounds - Tony the Beat (Rex The Dog Mix)
Used in my ZOMG Deejay Mix (I’ve got another in the works, I promise I’ll stop plugging this one) –its pretty stellar.
The Prodigy - Girls (Rex The Dog Remix).
And now, for something newer:
Walter Meego - Through a Keyhole (Solid Groove & Sinden mix)
Solid Groove being another moniker of our man Switch , and Walter Meego being a cool trio from Chicago. I first heard the original of this a long while ago, and was totally in love with the silky smooth synths and the uniqueness of their vocal timbre. This remix takes the lushness of the original and mashes it together with a raw and gritty sound that I’m a fan of.

*His real name is Exit, but he was dubbed that since he enjoys trying to jump on my mixer while mixing, causing more than a few train wrecks.
