Your favourite remix of a Prince track by another artist/producer?

The one that stands out for me is William Orbit's masterful deep tech house mix of The Future from 1989 - the one that was released on that 5inch CD thing.

The remixes of "Hot Thing" are great.

I have a 12" version of "Solo" remixed by Hani. The label is purple and in black letters "Color Purple"
If it breaks when it bends, U better not put it in!

I thought Electric Chair 12" was much better than 'The Future' but I've never really cared for the song (The Future.).

I don't want you to think like me. I just want you to think.

Now THAT would be interesting. I always thought that song was screaming for some sort of remix, because it was just naked and spartan to begin with.

Gett Off (Houstyle) by Steve 'Silk' Hurley. Best P remix ever!

Actually Mark Moore from S'Express did that remix. They are both credited but Mark did most of it from what I've heard.

For the record, Shock G's remix of "LoveSign" and QD3's remix of "Letitgo" are both superb.

I'm a big fan of the Shep Pettibone Remix of "Glam Slam" on the 12."
The Sherm Stick Mix of "Letitgo" is pretty much a masterpiece.
I really like the Steve 'Silk' Hurley mix of "Gangster Glam."
The rave-y mixes of "My Name is Prince" on that CD Maxi is pretty good.
There's a really good white label of "U Got The Look" by Soularis that's quite nice.

I've never heard the Hani mix of "Solo" but I will damn well try to do so. Hani is a great mixer.

Can't say that I like many remixes of Princes songs, they always come out a bit cheesy. As though they're pretending to be dance tunes when they're nothing like what would ever be played in a real club.

For me the best 2 are a couple of funky house versions of Controversy & Uptown.

That's about it though.
blah blah blah
