In 2009, Phoenix is to the remix what Kanye West is to public humiliation – frequent bedfellows and unbeatable source material for others to rejig. Hype Machine luminaries such as Yuksek, The Teenagers and Classixx all had a dig. So did Passion Pit, Devendra Banhart, YACHT, Chairlift, Animal Collective and Friendly Fires. I guess you could say that in 2009 “Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix” was the Paris Hilton of albums – no man was refused entry. The submissive center of an indie-bukkake if you will…
Now considering the caliber of the remixes on offer and the fact that Thomas Mars’ knee-weakening voice needs little excuse to see a release, Phoenix have put out a remix collection with the best cuts of the bunch. Check out the tracklist below:
