Or rather, he snagged the vocal, and wrote an entirely new tune around it, and though we've all come to know the "poorly remixed mainstream track" as almost a genre in and of its own right, Questions' super fat, yet silky smooth take on Wonderwall simply refuses to fit in - Uh Oh Disco

Honestly, we just can't get enough of Remix Artist Collective. We've debuted some of their work in the past, but it looks like this recent spate of remixes completely went over our heads. For example, this Peter, Bjorn & John remix they released ...
