DJ Jay - Cover Me!
Cybertrance, DJ Jay, DJ Sets, Electrohouse, Indie Dance
For my first Beatery podcast I decided to play a bunch of songs that you might actually know! I’ve recently built up a library of some pretty amazing remixes/covers of songs so I’m super stoked be be able to get a lot of ‘em into one set. I love the flow of this mix, it builds nicely from some indie-dance type stuff into the big trancy finish with “Enjoy the Silence”. I still remember Gianni (Bay Area DJ of yore) dropping that track at some random rave and my friends and I flipping out. Ahhh the memories… Plus I’ve got a good cross sample of a bunch of the artist doing great remixes of current jams. So which remix is your favorite?? Leave a comment and let me know!
Aaaand to grab your own copy, cick here and “saaaaaave as”! (that was my Bob Barker voice)
Tracklist:
1. Kids - MGMT - Soulwax Remix
2. Little Bit - Lykke Li - Villains Remix
3. Need You Tonight - INXS - Jon Gill Remix
4. Check it Out - Beastie Boys - Timoshi Remix
5. Me & Myself - Bendj feat. Sushy - Wolfgang Gartner Remix*
6. Umbrella - Rihanna - VNDLSM Remix
7. Wrong - Depeche Mode - DIM vs Boys Noize Remix
8. The Silence - Depeche Mode - Mike Koglin Remix
* OK so this isn’t technically a “cover song” or “pop music remix” but is sounds like one and I love it so, whatever. Hey, my podcast, my rules 
[...] world ;) If you’re looking for the second half of the set just go ahead and listen to my first Beatery Podcast, it’s got a lot of those songs with superior mixing. [...]
my favorite tracks are definitely the bookends!
Yeah, really tough to argue with either of those. I do really like the Lykke Li (any idea how to pronounce that??) and the Umbrella remix too tho.
zomg, I love the original mike koglin Enjoy the Silence.
that has been one of my favorite trance tracks for like 10 years.
I have it on some funky whitelabel vinyl, but also just got it again on beatport - it has been finally digitized…
Yeah, it’s amazing how well that track holds up. Most other big trance tunes from that era sound so dated and/or cheesy now. But I guess that’s what happens when you bite Depeche Mode
viva trance remixes!!!!!
YAY trance! \(^o^)/
Bridget, I think I’m gonna risk my DJ credibility and reputation by dropping a full trance pod-cast one of these days. What? I have no credibility OR reputation as it is? Good point, nothing to loose!
well you know you will make one person happy (me!)-who cares about those others?
Hey Peeps! I returned to this set for a holiday getaway, and I gotta say, track #2 by far is my favorite. Great mix all-around though, Jay! Thanks!
Thanks damien! I think that Lykke Li track is my fav too. But on the flip side I just can’t stand that Beastie Boys remix anymore. I gotta give myself a “What You Thinking??” card for that one /(>.<)\
Hi I have been following your blog for the past month and it is interesting, do you have a RSS feed?
Hey Jessica B, thanks! We do have a RSS feed you can follow, the link is cleverly hidden at the VERY bottom right of the blog. Maybe I should make that a little more visible….
