Remixes and remixers: Crookers
Boy, do I love Crookers. I’ll admit they’re everything you’re criticizing them for being; generic, too much wonk and too much bloghouse, but I love what they’re doing. Whether it’s their remixes (more about them later) or their own bombs like Knobs, Embrace the Martian and the latest Hype Machine favorite What Up Y’all, Crookers always deliver some great tunes.
This is about the remixes though. I’ve already raved about the Kid Cudi remix and everyone have already expressed their love and backlash for the track, so instead I’ll focus on some of the less prominent remixes. The remix of Steed Lord’s Dirty Mutha is less rave-inviting than the usual Crookers track, while remaining as funky as ever. The Chromeo remix seems to fit pretty well into the usual Crookers remix-model (not that that’s a bad thing) and the Don Rimini remix just screams “party”! Steed Lord – Dirty Mutha (Crookers Remix) Chromeo – Fancy Footwork (Crookers Remix) Don Rimini – Let Me Backup (Crookers Tetsujin Remix)
