The Best 9 David Bowie Electronic Remixes

By Andrea Caccese

David Bowie, we all know, is an artist who had a massive impact on all music genres, including electronic music. The British rock star reinvented himself a lot through the years, exploring different blends of theatricality, stage personas and more importantly music genre. The electronic music community had fun re-inventing some of his classics. Here's a handpicked selection of his best remixes.

1. Let's dance  (InFiction remix): This version abandons the upbeat vibes of the original song for a deep, haunting and moody atmosphere. 

2. Space Oddity (Munk Machine Remix)‬: A vintage-inspired remix of the classic Space Oddity track, here re-invented with a techno attitude.

3. Love Is Lost (Hello Steve Reich Mix by James Murphy for the DFA)‬: A great, highly percussive remix with minimal melodies and unique beats sourced from clap samples.

4. Rebel Rebel (Soulwax Club Mix)‬: A remix that stays true to the rock energy of the original song, while adding some new textures.

5. DJ (Benny Benassi remix): a fun and colorful remix with lots of synth harmonies and melodies

6. Fame (Damage Remix): an all-out EDM version of this track

7. Space Oddity (Sundance Remix) - Another take on one of Bowie's most famous songs, this time approaching its atmosphere and aesthetics with a different approach.

8. Dance Magic Dance: A new take on a song that represent one of Bowie's most colourful and outlandish periods, as he approached the dance culture of the 80s.

9. Heroes (Aphex Twin remix): A classic track recreated by one of the most successful electronic music duos in recent history.
