It’s strangely ironic that I decided to mention the Buffet Libre 80’s Rewind project yesterday, because upon opening my email this morning, I was surprised with a little note explaining that our Spanish friends have decided to release Part I of the bit today. Now, if only I’d waited a day, my thoughts could have been neatly organized into one concise little post, however, it’s looking like you’re just going to have to bare with me and my less-than-psychic intellect. But hey, you’ve got something new to listen to. A grand total of 57 artists were chosen to participate in the project, and thus, there are 57 collar-poppin’, mullet-wearin’, synth-sweepin’, crotch-grabbin’ brand spankin’ new tracks up and ready for you to download, absolutely free. You can check check them out at BuffetLibre.net. And since 57 tracks apparently just wasn’t enough to satisfy to hungriest of dancers, both Parts I and II of rewind are to be accompanied by their own respective Buffet Libre mixtapes. You can expect to see the first on July 15th, and the second (apparently as a bit of a kicker to keep the party going) on September 1st.

Now considering you’ve probably, within the last fifteen seconds, decided that you know exactly what it is you’ll be doing tonight, I’ll post a few of Rewind’s highlights and get out of your way.

NWA - Fuck tha Police (Trash Yourself remix)
I’ve been looking for a way to throw NWA into disco sets for quite some time, and oh God did I find what I was looking for. Not only has Trash Yourself shown us some incredible mixing skills, but they’ve also picked quite possibly the best song to demo them on.

A Ha - Hunting High and Low (Louis la Roche remix)
Glitch meets 80’s. Give it a minute, and boy does it get heavy, thanks to Loui la Roche. If only A Ha had known…
(And don’t worry. I know how disappointed you were when you saw that the A Ha cover wasn’t the infamous “Take On Me”, and I’m glad to assure you that that particular song, has also been given special attention. All the more reason to check out the Rewind site.)

Adam & the Ants - Stand and Deliver (Royal Rumble remix)
And finally, a bit of that frumpy ‘ol Royal Rumble goodness. (Yes, I think that’s what I’m going to call it from now on .. frumpy… there just isn’t a better way to describe their itchy skippy style)
Children, this is only the beginning. ‘twould be foolish not to scramble for every last track.
