SummersRadio™ Rare Remixes! Beastie Boys - 'No Sleep Till Brooklyn' (LFOMG Remix Featuring Bass Nation & Jason Dennis)/ Franz Ferdinand vs The Beastie Boys - 'Triple Take'

Many music fans have been saddened by the passing of Adam Yauch aka MCA of the Beastie Boys earlier today - myself included. I've been a long time Beasties fan - especially for how they pioneered mixing hip hop with punk and rock. I have a copy of their 1983 single 'Cooky Puss' on cd single and the original 12" pressing of their 1985 single 'She's On It'!  I was also lucky enough to meet them back in the 90's, so today I shall feature two rather rare remixes as a small tribute.

'No Sleep Till Brooklyn' was the sixth (!) single released from the Beastie Boys massive debut album 'Licensed To Ill'. The song was produced by Rick Rubin and features guitar riffs courtesy of Slayer's Kerry King. This remix is by Los Angeles producer Johnathan Rivers aka LFOMG - short for 'low frequency oscillator' plus 'oh my goodness' apparently.

Don't be fooled by the dubious name - or the fact that it says dubstep in the title below - this remix released online last November rocks! One of the things I like about it is how he (along with Bass Nation & Jason Dennis) takes the song further into punk and metal territory - the next level kicks in around 1:40... Enjoy!



The 'Franzie Boys' EP was a collection of mashups between Franz Ferdinand and Beastie Boys tracks made by a producer named McSleazy. The four track 12" single was 'unofficially released' on the Half Inch Recordings label in 2004. This is the first track on the EP called 'Triple Take' - a fusion of Franz Ferdinand's 'Take Me Out' and the Beastie Boys 'Triple Trouble' from their 2004 album 'To The 5 Boroughs'... Enjoy!
