Max Justus Remixes Kanye – Again
Feb 3rd
Max Justus continues being awesome by remixing another seven tracks of 808s & Heartbreak, the not so well received 2008 album by Kanye West. Previously Justus remixed the song “Street Lights” of said album, turning it into a slick dance tune.
Now he given the same treatment to a additional seven tracks by intensifying the already present electronic patterns and adding his own grinding sound, yet preserving the hip hop beats. He even makes Kanye’s auto tune voice sound like it fits in.
And you know what’s really awesome? The whole damn thing is available for free.

Max Justus has accomplished something I’ve long considered impossible – making Kanye West not only sound bearable but actually really good to my ears. His remix of “Street Lights” transforms the song from a rather badly sung half-ballad to a cool slow-jam club track.
I shouldn’t have expected any less though as Max Justus is also one of the few electronica artists who manage to hold my attention by mainly doing instrumentals. Usually I need vocals to fully enjoy a song, but Justus has a way to fill up the audio sensory experience to the max with his sharp synthesizers and funky hip hop beats. Just listen to “Altered Beast” from his latest effort Five Leaping Leopards and you’ll know exactly what I mean.
Also make sure to pop over to his MySpace for a free download of the album Talking To Strangers.
