Black Eyed Peas “Meet Me Halfway” (Rokuro’s Tidy Club Mix)/ (Anna & Ruby’s Intergalactic Booty-Shaker Cover/ Remix)
Call us losers, but since “Meet Me Halfway” started getting endless spins through our earbuds, we’ve been scouring the World Wide Web daily hoping to come across some amazing remix that’ll only deepen our undying adoration towards the Black Eyed Peas single.
There haven’t been many to emerge (which is strange, seeing as though “Boom Boom Pow” and “I Gotta Feeling” inspired what felt like a million revamps between them both), but we did come across a couple that earned at least a couple repeat listens:
Rokuro’s Tidy Club Mix:
Helmed by Japan’s DJ Rokuro, this one follows a relatively simple remixing formula, accenting the original track with some catchy synths while giving that vocoder-assisted bridge (the track’s best non-Fergie moment) a well-appreciated repeat spin.

Anna & Ruby’s Intergalactic Booty-Shaker Remix:
This second (and sadly, MP3 link-less) one was created by the same girls who delivered that cutesy acoustic cover of Drake’s “Best I Ever Had”. And like that treat, this one is equally impressive in a lo-fi, “let’s throw something together during a sleepover” kind of way, replacing Fergie’s laborious wails with a surprisingly effective Cassie-like featherweight vocal while it’s beat bypasses state-of-the-art Y3K-aiming production complexity for a simple electro throb.
This song is a great song. I like the original better than the remixes that you posted though. But of the two i like the 1st one better. I recently downloaded the entire The END album off http://www.kazaa.com and i now i seriously listen to their music all the time. It;s really great stuff i must say!
