Betty Who in Remix-Better-Than-Original Shocker! - Somebody Loves You (FM Attack Remix)

Betty Who is amazing, ok. I want to make it transparently clear that "Somebody Loves You" is the Aussie-cat's pajamas  It doesn't need a remix for it to max out on its potential. In fact it's one of those rare pop songs that radiates an effortless pop perfection that renders 99% of remixes null and void.

Which is why it comes as such a wonderful surprise to find a producer that manages to tap into that 1%. The main reason FM Attack's remix works is because it doesn't stray too far from the nest. "Somebody Loves You" is a 1980s throwback pop nugget, so when FM Attack ushers it into a nu disco extended club mix, the song shrugs its shoulders and takes two steps to the left, and voila! No muss, no fuss.

But whilst "Somebody Loves You" itself represents total, unadulterated love and almost a sickening level of joy, FM Attack's sparkling keys and burbling synth-peggios twist the track subtley into a minor key and, over the course of 6 minutes, allow it to thoughtfully breathe. If the original track is aimed at those already blissfully in love, the FM Attack remix recognises the desperation in the hearts of those still looking.

PARTY TRACKS OF THE WEEK! (FREE DOWNLOADS)- Neon Jungle, Icona Pop & Ellie Goulding.

NEON JUNGLE - TROUBLE (SHAROQUE REMIX)

This remix isn't so much looking for trouble as looking for the dancefloor. Rebellious girlband upstarts Neon Jungle's latest single "Trouble" gets a retro funky house remix that transports it from bedroom to Miami Beach, driven by an irresistible piano hook. 

Sharoque has made high octane dance remixes of a number of pop hits over the last year, including particularly euphoric mixes of Misha B and Little Mix - Check out his SoundCloud.

ICONA POP - GIRLFRIEND (CHAINSMOKERS REMIX)

"Girlfriend" is already a speeding down a highway song, but NY duo Chainsmokers take it one step further so don't be surprised if your car takes off during playback. It's got a gorgeous progressive house build-up and a heart-stopping drop that will rattle your bones. And your girlfriend's.

Chainsmokers have torn apart tunes by Fenech Soler and Phoenix too  - Check out their SoundCloud.

ELLIE GOULDING - BURN (DRIFTA REMIX)

As catchy as "Burn" is, it's plodding dancehall rhythm encourages more of a sway than a full on gleeful body contortion. So it's just as well that London producer Drifta acted on the potential that we all saw, to turn it into a full on rave anthem. The Drum & Bass throb suits the track so well, and given Goulding's recent fondness for the genre, Drifta's remix could almost be an original - download it for FREE from the SoundCloud widget above.

Drifta always kills it with his bootleg remixes, and his solo material is must-hear material for any commercial Drum & Bass fan  - Check out his SoundCloud.
