“In a world filled with hate, we must still dare to hope. In a world filled with anger, we must still dare to comfort. In a world filled with despair, we must still dare to dream. And in a world filled with distrust, we must still dare to believe.” – Michael Jackson.
Michael Joseph Jackson
August 29, 1958 – June 25, 2009
R I P
Michael Jackson – Burn This Disco Out
Michael Jackson – Get on the Floor (Holy Ghost! Edit)
Michael Jackson – Hot Street (Tysaun Alexanderic Heat Mix)
Michael Jackson – Wanna Be Startin’ Something (Streetlife DJs Remix)
Michael sang the hook on this 80s hit by Rockwell. This track was also sampled by Sweet for a french-house savage beast – played by Daft Punk.
Rockwell – Somebody’s Watching Me (Mojo & the Supersystem Remix)
Sweet – Somebody’s Watching
One cannot look past Sebastien Leger’s “Tonight” that samples “Off the Wall”:
Sébastien Léger – Tonight (Azuli Rework Edit)
Tim Goldsworthy and Tim Sweeney (together make up T&T) brought out a killer revamped version of “Don’t Stop Til’ You Get Enough” late last year. Also, I’ve put up a beautiful edit by Tangoterje (Todd Terje) of MJ’s “I Can’t Help It”. Bliss.
T&T – Don’t Stop (T&T Version)
Tangoterje – Can’t Help It
Lastly, some tracks from the Jackson family with Michael’s brother Jermaine and also his sister Janet. Mark E has cleverily re-edited Janet’s “R&B Junkie” that always makes me smile. Savage.
RIP to a legend.

Amen brotha
Michael Jackson RIP
the music world mourns the loss of an incredible talent
thank you for including my remix and the other remixes as fitting tribute
really nice post…
=)
Seriously, you guys always come through when the occasion calls to dig deep. Great post!
This is one of the better blog websites I cruise, I was hoping that every blog would have a MJ tribute or post at the very least, he was and is a larger than life figure, especially in the music world.
Your post made me think that there are people that are still okay, and love music for the right reasons.
Thanks for a heartfelt post, and making my day a little bit more bearable.
Best,
Huge MJ & Wavesatnight fan
I’ve been loving the Jackson’s “Torture” recently.
Also just found out that MJ wrote the soundtrack to sonic 3. He really left his mark!
It is such a great loss that a man with great talent like Michael Jackson dies. RIP King of POP
Thanks for another great post. You always do a superb job with every post but this one was spot on. I shall be winding up my set tonight at Dama de Ferro in Rio de Janeiro with the holyshost! and t&t edits. respect due to you michael….a true legend.
also….for anyone that hasn’t heard this one…canada’s dj u-turn unearthed and edited an amazing demo version of PYT. it’s got a completely different vibe than the album version. much more laid back and oh so lovely.

Michael Jackson is my favorite pop artist ever since i was a child. He is truly the King of Pop and i am saddened by this news.
Thankx for the tracks! I reckon Steed Lord – Feel the Heat (sampling Human Nature) is awesome too! I’m missing MJ!!!
michael jackson is a very very talented person to the point that he rose as a pop icon. he would live forever in our history books and memories.
You are a God for posting all this. Thank you. RIP MJ
