Bionic Commando Theme (Surkin Remix)

The new Bionic Commando game, sequel to the 1987 arcade classic of the same name, was released last week. In the last few weeks leading up to the release, remixes of the theme song have been appearing everywhere. Here's the best of them all, by French electro DJ and producer Surkin.

Surkin's remix treatment, turning a lo-fi video game theme into a killer club tune, works surprisingly well. Whether you know the game and it's theme song or not, this track conjures an old school gaming nostalgia and the tune is insanely addictive.

Crystal Castles - Alice Practice

The term new rave sounds like a corruption of rave and new wave, but really all it takes from the former is flourescent clothing, neon lights and glow sticks—and from the latter, the genre fusions and the trashy, anarchic aesthetic. Crystal Castles, one of Toronto's top exports, interprets new rave as scratchy, distorted Gameboy sounds, writhing female screams and bodies dancing to a path beaten by drums. Close your eyes, experience the flashing lights and feel the urge to reach for a tablet.

SOUNDS LIKE Peaches, Digitalism, Hot Chip, The Prodigy
