La Roux Remix Marathon!!!

LA ROUX. If you've never heard of her, saying that you've missed out is a grave understatement. I would rather say you haven't lived. There is no better remix able voice than that of vocal genie La Roux. There are hundreds of great remixes of all of her songs and tonight I bring to you, the best of the best.

1. I'm Not Your Toy (DatA Remix) 
This song is one of La Roux's oldest and is definitively a diamond in the rough. DatA simply added a couple of funky beats and synths and turned it into an instant Funk classic.

2. I'm Not Your Toy (Jack Beats Remix)
Here's another remix of La Roux's classic but this time by old-timer Jack Beats (A newer song of who's is posted below). I couldn't define for you what type of music it is even if I tried to; however, Somethin I can tell you is that with his remix of I'm not your Toy, Jack Beats created a great song to be enjoyed by
all. P.S: Don't be put off by the constant wobble and try to take in the beauty of his synths added to the vocals.

3. Bulletproof (Just Like A Band Remix)
"Electronic Pop" is the Genre this song would fall under as defined by soundcloud. This is and always will be one of my La Roux favorites, as Just Like A Band incorporates synths like no other. Its definitively an interesting drop and probably something that would call antiquated in music style, yet its without a doubt something I could party to.

4. Bulletproof (Freddy Fernandez & Jay Mocio Bootleg)
It's extremely 'interesting', as one would like to call it. I have to say that its not something I would usually come upon as being my kind of music, but I had to honor my friend's request. However, I really like what they did with the pace of the song by simply adding a bassline to the original. The drop is not something that should be listened to without big speakers. Plug 'em in and Enjoy!



5. Quicksand (Mad Decent & Amanda Blank)
This is some crazy shit! In a collab with Amanda Blank (Yes, the sexy vocals) and Major Lazer (One of our favorites at Masterbeatz) Mad Decent did to the song what no one else has: Not really change it. Yet it is sooooo different. First, a thing you might notice a couple of seconds into the song, Mad Decent added Amanda Blank. You'll see, crazy shit. By introducing a constant beat to the La Roux vocals that then follow he's created yet bother funky version of one of her tracks. Turn up for the first minute or so, You'll definitively enjoy that.

6. Quicksand (AN21 &Philip Jensen Remix)
ABSOLUTE FAVORITE!!! As they say, here's the best for last. This song came out about 2 years ago and has fascinated me ever since. As you guys may know, I am a House Music fanatic. This remix is one of the only La Roux House Remixes and what a remix it is. AN21, if you don't know, is Steve Angello's little brother and has, ever since seeing him live back in 2009, been one of my favorites. Along with Philip Jensen, he gives the song a real progressive vibe by adding some big synths and a legitimate drop to the song. This is complete Big Room material and should, as always, be listened to on some big ass speakers. Enjoy!!!
