As the onslaught of Coldplay remixes continues in 2014, it’s important to not waste time on the shabby trend followers and find sounds that are truly significant. Our list of the top 6 remixes of 2014 is perfect for the avid EDM/Coldplay fan or music lovers just seeking a sick playlist for the day.
6. Sky Full Of Stars (Jakko Bootleg) [Progressive]
After comparing dozens of 2014 remix, Jakko’s catchy touch to “Sky Full Of Stars” starts of the list. The explosive melody featured in the drop is on a different level. So many progressive tracks get weak at this point in a prog song, but Jakko’s production, from beginning to end, is quite the opposite.

5. A Sky Full Of Stars (Syn Cole Remix) [Progressive]
Syn Cole’s take on “A Sky Full Of Stars” starts off funky, but as the drop will show you, Syn Cole includes loveable melodies and an unique, epic guitar solo; giving the remix an adventurous, ‘video game music’ feeling that’s easy to enjoy.

4. Midnight (Giorgio Moroder Remix) [Disco]
The hybrid Giorgio Moroder remix syncs well with Coldplay’s style. Giorio Moroder blends ‘ghost’-like effects with simple instruments and a disco beat. It isn’t until the 3:00 minute mark that Giorgio takes the energy up a notch, throwing in a vocoder and arpeggios for good measure. It’s easy to imagine hearing this live as a memorable chill bridge in an epic DJ set.
3. Midnight (Tiësto’s Experimental Tech House Bootleg)
His name may be familiar, but his tech house style is not. Tiesto’s remix has the most relaxing ambiance than any other remix on the list; shining like gold against the flood of generic tech house tracks that pop up on the interwebs.

2. Midnight (Kygo Remix) [Mellow]
Not only is “Midnight (Kygo Remix)” a super soulful, ambient, and gentle remix encompassing all of the styles that’ve made Kygo a legend, but the remix premiering on Pete Tong’s BBC Radio show marks a pinnacle moment in the Kygo story (same with his Diplo & Friends Mix) that will never be forgotten.
1. Midnight (Bad Visions Remix) [House]
The drop gets me every time. There’s just no other track that even comes close to the groundbreaking style Bad Vision displays in “Midnight (Bad Visions Remix).” The two that make up Bad Visions, Dan & Jeremy, have a history of thinking outside of the box, their Soundcloud profile features an incredible collection of sounds, each track packed with fresh emotions, imagination, and tons of originality.
