Get ready for the summer with our choice of ten of the top remixed tunes you can expect to hear shaking up parties and festivals across the continent. The whole playlist can be streamed on Youtube. Turn it UP!

Kelis – Acapella (Acid Washed Remix)

Kelis’s triumphant return was heralded by the irresistibly marvellous anthem ‘Acapella’, a song which looks set to topple ‘Milkshake’ as the song synoymous with the singer. This remix doesn’t reinvent the wheel, it just tweaks the backing track and builds synths here and there for a brilliantly danceable track. Kelis will be rousing dancefloor rabbles at the following festivals: Glastonbury (UK) , Slottsfjell (Norway), and Pukkelpop (Belgium).

Caribou – Sun (Altrice’s Only What You Gave Me Remix)

Even ignoring the frenzied hype around this band, and solely concentrating on how great their latest album ‘Swim’ was, Caribou look set to provide some of the must-see festival sets of the summer. The perfect soundtrack to a cider fuelled summer sunset in a field. Catch them at: INMusic (Croatia), Field Day (UK), La Route du Rock (France), Summer Sundae (UK) Pukkelpop (Belgium), Into The Great Wide Open (Netherlands) and End Of The Road (UK).

Gorillaz – Stylo (Alex Metric remix)

Gorillaz are perhaps one of the most interesting and innovative pop bands around, though, dare I say it, not the only ones quite chuffed that U2 have pulled out of Glastonbury. ‘Plastic Beach’, released earlier this year was lauded by critics claiming a return to form last seen in their debut album, and this remix of the first single released off it is a great listen. As well as Glastonbury, Damon Albarn’s cartoon troupe will be at Roskilde (Denmark), Benicassìm (Spain), and Secret Garden Party (UK).

Booka Shade vs M.A.N.D.Y – Body Language (Tocadisco’s Remix)

Body Language, which came out in 2005, and was dubbed one of the biggest releases of the year by Resident Advisor, should set the tone for the Berlin-based electro house duo Booka Shade’s festival appearances this summer. They’ll be playing at Selector (Poland), Rockness (UK), Parklife (UK), Sònar (Spain), Optimus Alive (Portugal) MELT! Festival (Germany), Lovebox (UK), Dance Valley (UK), and Electric Picnic (Ireland).

Crystal Castles – Celestica (Thurston Moore Remix)

Crystal Castles are a dance trance Skins-friendly outfit, with vocalist Alice Glass’s ferocious howling prompting trendy kids to fall in love with her left, right and centre. Sonic Youth’s Thurston Moore ‘doesn’t do remixes.’ How on earth could these facts be related, other than Moore has remixed this track from Crystal Castles’s latest album. And he’s created something rather beautiful and surprisingly melodic. To see Glass et al in their feral glory, grab a ticket to Rockness (UK), Exit (Serbia), Reading and Leeds Festivals (UK), Rock en Seine (France) and Electric Picnic (Ireland).

Hot Chip – I Feel Better (Den Haan Remix)

I never thought that everyone’s favourite geeks and unlikely dance pop heroes would ever top ‘Over and Over.’ But ‘I Feel Better’, from this year’s ‘One Life Stand’ is great, a song that you immediately feel you’ve known and loved for years. This remix ups the tempo and makes is perfectly for dancing to on balconies on precious sunny days. Hot Chip are set for a festival-crammed summer, with performances at Sònar (Spain), Glastonbury, Open’er (Poland), Calvi On The Rocks (France), T in the Park (UK), Oxegen (Ireland), Benicassìm (Spain), Super Bock Super Rock (Portugal), Lovebox (UK), Frequency (Austria), Pukkelpop (Belgium), Electric Picnic (Ireland) and Bestival (UK).

Uffie – Difficult

It just doesn’t feel like the summer without Ed Banger, and the first lady of the hip French label, Uffie, is here with a perfect slice of attitude-laced vocals neatly aping P. Diddy over an almost reggae-like piano backing. Not strictly a remix, but produced by labelmate SebastiAn, this track should kick off her festival sets in style. She’ll be at Selector (Poland), Sònar (Spain) and Dour (Belgium).

Deadmau5 – Faxing Berlin (Grifta Dubstep Remix)

Already fairly legendary on the dance scene, Deadmau5 looks set to finally break into the mainstream this year, with festival performances at  Sziget (Hungary), Pukkelpop (Belgium), Frequency (Austria), Lowlands (Netherlands), and Creamfields (UK). NB: This remix won over even a dubstep-sceptic like myself.

LCD Soundsystem – You Wanted A Hit (Ryan Nexus Remix)

I’m fascinated by James Murphy and his endless, tireless crusade to calculate the exact formula for being cool. As far as most LCD Soundsystem fans are concerned, Murphy should have stopped worrying about it fairly early on, though it’s probably a good thing that their latest LP ‘This is Happening’ is reportedly their last, as being a bit old probably isn’t very cool at all. This is a great remix of a great track, enough said. LCD Soundsystem are playing at Sònar (Spain), Southside (Germany), INmusic (Croatia), Open Air St. Gallen (Switzerland), Roskilde (Denmark), Wireless (UK), Les Eurockéennes (France), Optimus Alive (Portugal), Way Out West (Sweden), Leeds and Reading (UK), Rock en Seine (France), Electric Picnic (Ireland) and Bestival (UK).

Kele – Tenderoni

2010 so far has seen the Bloc Party frontman take a sabbatical from his hugely successful band, spending it mostly learning to box and DJing in East London. Oh, and recording a truly brilliant dance pop album. I’m not sure what my 16 year old self, who adored Kele Okereke and for whom Silent Alarm was quite simply era defining, and who also abhorred dance music of most kinds, would have made of this, but I’m older and wiser and have been to Ibiza now, and I’m telling it to her straight: Tenderoni is BRILLIANT. So brilliant, in fact, that in my humble opinion, there has yet to be a remix that does it justice. So here it is in its pure and unadulterated form. Enjoy, and try to resist the temptation to sing Bodyrox over the top. He’s playing at Glastonbury, MELT! Festival (Germany), Pukkelpop (Belgium) Leeds and Reading Festivals and Rock en Seine (France).
