Here are two outstanding Alex Metric remixes.
“Alex Metric? Where have you been, Pelski? Alex Metric is old news.”
Well I’m sorry, as I’ve pointed out: I’ve been away for a while, traveling. Im out of the loop, late on the scene and missing a trick or two. Still, at least you can thank your lucky stars I didn’t come back from traveling ‘enlightened’: listening to psytrance and hippy rave, wearing hemp (possibly the greatest fashion tragedy ever) and tie-die. The blog could have been filled with hippy rubbish I pretend to understand, and would probably be renamed You Can Call Me A Gap Year Tragedy. So count yourself lucky, and deal with this rather late post.
I first heard Alex Metric some time ago and immediately wrote him off as another of those artists rinsing the hell out of the now overdone rocky/distortion sound. Gnarly, dirty, but hardly distinctive. Nothing standout. But this led me to dismiss his remixes. But his remixes are something else entirely. His re-edits of Hard-Fi, Jack Daniel, Jape and The Rapture were much of the same, but the electro touches he’s given to both Infadels and Splittr are prodigious.
By now you’ll have heard his remix of ‘All Alone’, and it’s the second half that’s so brilliant. It starts off like any other humdrum remix, with looped vocals and a solid backing beat,
until it drops into a glitched, distinctively mashed-up chorus.

Metric’s remix of Infadels is no banger. It’s a lyrical song, given a beefed up, electro lick by Metric. But it still maintains the winsome lyrics and poppy vibe, 
now with added momentum and a pulsating beat:
