A night out in 2010 is incomplete without a slice of Lady Gaga and this is a monster of a remix album, the soundtrack to a thousand and one nights of wickedness.
Lady Gaga's The Remix is a music industry party thrown in honour of our new pop monarch, magnificently packed into one disc of fabulousness. Right here the world's most prominent popstar gets flipped, scratched and pumped-up in her own savvy collection of remixes.
The industry's biggest dance acts and producers line up for duty and they dazzle: Pop contemporaries Passion Pit, FrankMusik and Alphabeat offer more than just pastiches of their favourite hits, whilst the dancefloor rat pack Starsmith, Manhattan Clique and Richard Vission set to reworking Lady Gaga into an even darker dance child than she already is.
The Grum mix of 'Bad Romance' sees Lady Gaga's biggest song undergo a romantic '80s-inspired makeover with tubular synths and chimes galore, whilst Stuart Price's reinterpretation of the sparkly lullaballad 'Paparazzi' serves up delightful movie score pianos atop a beat of real curb crawling grit.
Robots To Mars are the remix younguns here, finding a fascinating new twist on 'Love Game', showering the hit in pretty guitar chords and sunny coconut percussion.
Pet Shop Boys make a rare remix appearance with their cool keyboard-charged transformation of 'Eh, Eh (Nothing Else I Can Say)' followed by a Cherrytree House 'Poker Face' special.
All of the remixes in this definitive collection find a new angle on Miss Gaga, each giving her a dance stamp of approval. Like Madge before her, Lady Gaga understands the importance of a great remix and dropping any one of these 17 tracks is the party equivalent of a tequila chaser right when you need it most.
