Remixing old music is nothing new, but a fresh crop of remix and mash-up artists (think: Girl Talk) have been steadily reinvigorating the medium. Sammy Bananas has made a niche out of transforming ‘80s and ‘90s slow-jam R&B hits into dancefloor-friendly club tracks. Take for example, “My Body.” Vocal samples from R. Kelly’s “Bump and Grind” are pitched up and reshuffled with an infectious house beat. Stick with the track through the end to hear a snippet of the original.
