Remixes

The Doors have recently allowed several dance/electronic music producers to remix their songs. Many believe that this is to introduce their music to a new generation. The remixes and their appearances are:

  • The 2002 compilation 'The Best of the Doors' was released with a Limited Edition Bonus Disc featuring several remixes of 'Riders on the Storm': Baez & Cornell 'Tunnel' Club Mix; Nightmares on Wax Remix; Ibizarre Remix, and; Spacebats Remix.
  • Snoop Dogg vs. The Doors - "Riders on the Storm (Fredwreck Remix)" Appeared in the video game Need for Speed Underground 2.
  • The Doors - "L.A. Woman (Paul Oakenfold Remix)" appears on the mix album "Perfecto Presents: The Club".
  • BT vs. The Doors - "Break On Through (To The Other Side)" Originally released as an iTunes exclusive download, this remix also made an appearance on the Burnout Revenge soundtrack.
  • The Doors - "Roadhouse Blues (The Crystal Method Remix)" made its debut on "Community Service II" by The Crystal Method.
  • "Roadhouse Blues" was also remixed with John Lee Hooker on the album "Stoned Immaculate"
  • The Doors - "Hello, I love You (Adam Freeland Mix)". This remix has yet to be released, but can be heard on Adam Freeland's myspace. Freeland recently won a Grammy for his remixing work on Sarah Vaughan's "Fever". Freeland was personally requested to remix "Hello, I love You".
  • The Doors - "Strange Days (Thievery Corporation Mix)" This remix is released on Thievery Corporations "Versions" on May 16, 2006.

  • There is also a bootlegged mash-up of "Flashdance" by Deep Dish and "Riders on the Storm" called "Stormy Dance".

Samples

  • Hip hop artist Jay-Z sampled The Doors' "Five to One" in "The Takeover" on The Blueprint album in 2001.

  • The music from "Peace Frog" (originally titled "Abortion Stories") was sampled by rappers 3rd Bass as the title track from their album "The Cactus"
  • DJ Lethal sampled "When The Music's Over" for a track on his upcoming solo album. The song features rapping from Cypress Hill.
