Sorting thru the many Crookers releases this year left me at a crossroads with two Frenchmen. I could either go with their Don Rimini mix (which was a bit too similar to the original), or their Busy P remix, as featured below, to be the #15 remix of the year. I'm more than content with the results (and dont worry Don Rimini fans, this wont be the last you'll hear of him) XD
Busy P - To Protect and Entertain (Crookers Remix) | download
I'm giving more of a nod to Crookers and Murs on the success of this particular remix for two reasons:
1. Murs' vocals are ace to work withThe Italian duo converted a song that originally tried to be gangsta rap (which came off as nothing but slow French electro, but still good in it's own right), into an up-tempo rap-electro masterpiece. We saw earlier in this list what can happen when a great remixer gets his hands on some decently laid lyrics [yuksek], and Crookers confirmed that trend with this addictive and bouncy rendition.
2. the Crookers' overhaul of the character and beat of the track are also... ace
Bonus shout out for being on the roster for Chicago's own Potty Mouth Records!!!

the don rimini remix was actually already typed up and ready to post when i thought better to use the busy p remix instead. both were 1a and 1b in terms of bangerability.
