Dragonette remixed

I like Canadian quartet Dragonette. I like that they have supported both Basement Jaxx and Sugababes, and there's a bunch of remixes of them that I really like. Two such remixes have been floating around recently; Richard X's of "Pick Up The Phone" and Buffetlibre's of "Easy". I have been meaning to post them for a while, but the autumn coma made me miss the train so to speak. Thing is they're too good not to post, so I was really glad when Beaumont bailed me out by sending over his take on "PUTP" today!

We've written about Beaumont before and he cements his position as one of our favourites with this beautifully well-crafted version of "Pick Up The Phone"...

...quite different from Richard X's energetic electropop take of the same track:

Barcelona's Buffetlibre's remix of "Easy" has made a big impact on the blogosphere even without our help, so let's kick-start the second wave!

Good shout on the buffetlibre/Dragonette track "Easy". I love it - electropop but smooth, and the original should be a big hit but I don't know, they don't seem to be getting promoted. Any way good enough to be my record of the week -
