Crookers- Winners of tradehooks 2008 Best Remixer Poll

Crookers have won tradehooks 2008 so far best remixer with 13% of the vote.

Other notable achievers were
Justice and Spook with 9% of the vote respectively
SebastiAn, The Twelves and Boys Noize with 6% each
And Breakbot with 2%

I've never played a Crookers Remix live before, though I do have their Remix of Protect and Entertain by Busy P and Murs on my playlist, but thats it. I thought their remix of Salmon Dance absolutely destroyed an almost perfect Hip Hop/Dance Collab.

Here is a small bunch of Crookers Remixes and Originals

Mad Kids- Crookers
To Protect and Entertain (Crookers Remix)- Busy P Feat MC Murs
Salmon Dance (Crookers remix)- Chemical Brothers
The Crow- Crookers Feat Boy 8-Bit
Voglio Solo Action Figures (Young Live Edit)- Cool Kids X Crookers

Cut Copy: I Love Lights & Music

I can't stop listening to the Boys Noize Happy Birthday Remix of Cut Copy's Lights & Music. So i thought i might share the love a little. Here is all the remixes i could find of Lights & Music, i take no credit for producing any of these links i just thought it would be nice if there was one place to find all the remixes of this great song. But if you like a particular blog, head on over to their blog and check it out.
I can't decide though, whether it is the remixes of this song or just that the original song is that good, being the reason why i can't stop listening.
Did anyone else notice that in every photo of Cut Copy one of their heads is always tilted, just a little bit?

Cut Copy - Lights & Music - Rock Sellout
Cut Copy - Lights & Music (Boys Noize Happy Birthday Remix) - The World Forgot
Cut Copy - Supersonic Lights & Music (Johnatron Remix) - Disco Workout

Tell us what you like, what you don't, if you know of any other remixes let us know aswell.

did i mention there is a video as well?
