Kanye West & Jay Z - "N****s in Paris" (Enferno Remix)
Enferno takes the already-club-friendly banger and tweaks the beats, which cross from rage to bounce, and back up to hardcore head-nod music.

Kanye West - "Mercy" (Figure Remix)
This trippy, dirty, dubstep remix plays like a warped video game. If you’re down to get lost in it, and you should be, don’t be afraid to clock this one in.

Kanye West - “Lost in this World” feat Bon Iver (Tiësto Remix)
An ethereal intro that leads into a sick trance beat layered with Kanye’s signature sneer and vocals. Fun Fact:It was played just once the radio once during one of Tiësto’s Club Life podcasts.

Kanye West, Jay-Z, Big Sean - "Clique" (TNGHT remix)
The slightly slowed and stripped tempo, matched with the track’s signature dings and strings make for an eerily monstrous remix.

Kanye West - "Who’s Gonna Stop Us" (Luminox Trap VIP)
This massive remix barely bears resemblance to its Watch the Throne original. Despite the classic dubstep wubs and sirens, this track is far from predictable. Check it out for a dope and delightful surprise.

Kanye West vs Kavinsky - “Protolife” (Carlos Serrano Mix)
Carlos Serrano’s has multiple Kanye remixes on his Soundcloud page, yet this one caught our ear with skillfully layers vocals from “Good Life” over an epic 80’s-esque electro-house track from French producer Kavinsky.

Hucci & Stooki Sound- "Ball So Hard"
The track samples from the now legendary “N****s in Paris”, get reiginted into a deep and abstract trap instrumental.

NASA - “Gifted” feat. Kanye West, Santogold (Steve Aoki Remix)
An overlooked and hyphy remix from Aoki that makes catchy use of Ye’s biting flow over crunchy snares. Santi’s gorgeous harmonies don’t hurt this track either.

Drake - “Forever” feat. Kanye West, Lil Wayne, Eminem (Steve Aoki Remix)
The spastic remix has Aoki’s fingerprints all over it. Who knew that Drake’s melancholy croon and Weezy’s goblin flows could be sped up to such aural success? Keep an ear out for Em’s deep n dirty verse. Keep this one in your music rotation, fo sho.

Kanye West & Jay-Z vs Benny Benassi - "Paris Satisfaction" (Chuckie Pass That Dutch Bootleg)
This unexpected mashup could have every kid in the club ballin' so hard that they’d be impossible to find in the sea of bodies breakin' it down. Satisfaction guaranteed with this hype, percussive mix.

Big Sean - “Marvin & Chardonnay” ft Kanye West (Xaphoon Jones Remix)
Spaced out and gangstafied mix from the Chiddy Bang producer, Xaphoon that will have you walking around like a giant, and feeling like you’ve been sippin’ on that Chardonnay with the big boys.

Kanye West - “All of the Lights” (Pretty Lights Remix)
An apt take on the anthem that “All of the Lights” by the eclectic Pretty Lights. With tastes of dubsteppy wubs and womps, this transient trip-hop tune was done just right by us.

Kanye West - “Heartless” (Hatiras Remix)
An electro-house remix with a jumpy beat into the complex depths of heartbreak that Yeezy introduced with the album, but depressing it is not.

Consequence - “Whatever U Want” feat. Kanye West, P. Diddy, John Legend (Deranged Fan Remix)
This remix of the G.O.O.D. Music release has some dirty funk buried in its heavy synth layers, which nicely compliments John Legend’s smooth chops and makes for a doped out Justin Timberlake vibe, circa his FutureSex/LoveSounds vibe.

Kanye West - I Don’t Like (Aylen & Dotcom Remix)
Yeezy doesn’t like that ish, maybe because it sounds like it was produced in one of those ghost houses from Super Mario World? The drop grinds hard and some crafty tweaks make this some ish we can’t help but love.
