Best Remixes of Michael Jackson:

Baby Be Mine (Big Nick Remix)

Produced By: Big Nick

Why You Should Listen: Now, this is the first time we’ve heard Big Nick’s work, but we’ll be sure to tune in again. The Strasbourg-based producer seamlessly bridges the gap between disco house and soul-pop, injecting a rush of flavorful funk and collected energy in his Baby Be Mine remix. It’s got all of the old school energy you’ve grown to love, but with a new school twist.

Baby Be Mine (Personal Touch Remix)

Produced By: Personal Touch

Why You Should Listen: Another newcomer, Personal Touch, takes a more simplistic approach, creating an elegant funk house rendition of Jackson’s Baby Be Mine, while micro-sampling bits and pieces of the original track. If you enjoy Detroit House or poolside vibes, then Personal Touch’s lighthearted remix is perfect for you.

Human Nature (Louis La Roche Remix)

Produced By: Louis La Roche

Why You Should Listen: Contrary to the two aforementioned artists, Louis La Roche is no stranger to The French Shuffle, having featured more than 10 times since our inception. What makes La Roche so unique is his fluid sound and attention to detail, which is apparent in every nu disco track we’ve heard from the UK native. His remix of Jackson’s Human Nature is no different, taking listeners on a nostalgic joyride. Just hear it for yourself!

P.Y.T. (Benny Jay Remix)

Produced By: Benny Jay

Why You Should Listen: This list wouldn’t have been complete without at least one P.Y.T. remix. Luckily, there are two (see below). Melbourne DJ/producer, Benny Jay, refreshes Jackson’s sweet single with creamy funk artifacts and chic melodies, which complement the King of Pop’s lyrics in the best of ways. Let’s not forget those acoustic accents and shimmering synths – they’re simply perfect.

P.Y.T. (StardonE Remix)

Produced By: StardonE

Why You Should Listen: Another P.Y.T. remix? Yes, and you’ll soon see why. StardonE makes it worth the wait, transforming the funk-pop release into a high-powered, breaks-meets-club mix. Imagine if Michael Jackson teamed up with a few retro-electro artists? This might be what you’d get.

Thriller (Louis La Roche Remix)

Produced By: Louis La Roche

Why You Should Listen: Two Louis La Roche remixes? Yes, and they’re well-deserved. La Roche works his magic, not once, but twice, re-imaging both Human Nature and Thriller. Of course, his Thriller remix is our favorite (because, well, it’s Thriller), but in any case, each hold their own. This one seems less like a remix and more like an edit, closely mimicking the original, while adding in subtle melody shifts and secondary kits. Still a 10/10 in our book!

Thriller (Minimatic Remix)

Produced By: Minimatic

Why You Should Listen: Minimatic slows down tempo and takes the pace down a notch with a neat take on MJ’s lead track, Thriller. With light funk riffs and vocoded stabs, the French musician keeps the groove going with relaxing noises and graceful spirit.

Thriller (Pylot Remix)

Produced By: Scandroid and Pylot

Why You Should Listen: And now, for our favorite Thriller remix to-date – Thriller (Pylot Remix). Now, this isn’t your typical remix, as Pylot remixed Scandroid’s Michael Jackson cover. Regardless, the remix is powerful, sentimental, electrifying, dark and dynamic all in one. Well done Pylot, well done.
