Similar to Duff Disco who I wrote about some months ago. Taking familiar motifs and turning them into something completely new. 'I Don't Like Acid' really is its own track (much as I also love the original) and creates a lot of head nodding in the pub where I play. The Kate Bush remix is more about nicely tarting up a clasic rather than creating something new. As with all my favourites, I'm sure he's done loads more great tracks but these are my faves of the ones I've heard.

Some favourites 6a - Viceroy
Summery, poppy reimaginings of classics, first from B.I.G, then Mark Morrison. Very dancefloor friendly.
Also, look for his remix of Talking Heads' 'This Must Be The Place' which has been removed from Soundcloud / Youtube by heroic law enforcers.

Some favourites 5 - Bicep
Bicep are getting more and more well known. I should've mentioned them before so I got some kudos as a talent spotter. My little monthly DJ gig doesn't really call for this kind of stuff but I try to slip them in sometimes anyway. They're from Northern Ireland and continue the classic tradition of house. My favourite stuff by them is the first eight minutes of this Soundcloud mix below. I wish the riff in the first 4 minutes came back at the 8 minute mark. Boys, if you're reading, what do you reckon???
Here's a couple of their awesome sounds on the Tube, 'Drippin' and 'You'

Some favourites 4b - DJ Ayers
I heard DJ Ayers' awesome mix 'Next Of All' at the clothes shop Urban Outfitters a few weeks ago (I recommend tuning in about 11:30) and I've since been looking all over the place trying to find more mixes and stuff by him.
It's all decent stuff but the 45 King v Wale remix is out of the park genius. I found it on soulseek and uploaded it into youtube myself. Proper hip hop and proper dance groove.

Some favourites 4a - Them Jeans
Fresh vibes from Them Jeans out of LA. Can't get enough of his sound right now. One of Prince Language's remixes mentioned 'Them Jeans' - don't know if it's a coincidence or if they collaborated. Then I found his remix of Rihanna's Stay. Just adds a little clackety clack but makes it a much nicer track imho. I've enjoyed all his mixes and original tracks I've heard since then. Hope he blows up.

Some favourites 3 - Duff Disco
Prolific London DJ / remixer / producer Duff Disco. His standout track for me is Slow but it's all very very very quality stuff. Future classics no doubt.

Some favourites 2b - Rub N Tug / Dr Dunks
2b. Rub N Tug / Dr Dunks
The second is the prolific Eric Duncan, lately Doctor Dunks and half of Rub N Tug who has been quietly producing an array of dubby, funky and generally excellent tracks and mixes for ages.
I'm gonna post a link to his mix for WPS1 but I'm not sure if it works. I downloaded the mix a while ago and there's a track from it I love which I've played out a few times. Big fat bassy thing with a vocal simple from Indeep's 'Record Keeps Spinning'...

A few selections here but pick of the bunch is the 'Too Much Love' remix. I didn't like this one at first but now I 'get' it...

Some favourites 2a - Prince Language
2a. Prince Language
Joint second place goes to two NY DJs / producers, both associated with DFA, LCD Soundsystem etc but haven't reached the same heights of fame. Check out PL's mix for Fabric with an amazing mix of disco classic She Can't Love You by Chemise from, say, about 25:30 to about 32:25. I've played this one out a bunch of times. It's what PL is all about - a mix of early hip hop fresh cool, disco funkiness, some feelgood soul and house and a splash of trippy dubbiness thrown in. And his remix of Azari and III turns a very good tune into a freakin great one.

Some favourites 1 - Hot Chip
I was gonna make a best tracks of 2012 compilation but gave up so instead I'm gonna talk about some of my favourite artists right now...
1. Hot Chip
The most fun, creative and cool band on the planet right now. They both remix and get remixed very well and there's a bunch of cool side projects going on like The 2 Bears.
