We got the beat! Yeah, we got the beat!

Metric - Monster Hospital (MSTRKRFT Mix)
Bee Gees - Stayin’ Alive (Teddybears Remix)
Ratatat - Wildcat (E*vax Remix)
Cut Copy - Lights & Music (Moulinex Remix)
Beck - Ghettochip Malfunction (Hell Yes) [8bit Remix]
Crystal Castles - Crimewave (Lazrtag Remix)
Ladytron - Weekend (James Iha Mix)
VHS Or Beta - Night On Fire (Cut Copy Remix)
MGMT - Kids (tyler fedchuk edit)
Muse - Map Of The Problematique (Does It Offend You, Yeah? Remix)
Air - Cherry Blossom Girl (Simian Mobile Disco Mix)
