Alan Braxe & Fred Falke. And I really think some more current and niche producers like Saint Pepsi or Macross 82-99 or Night Tempo would work marvellous things with their music. Heck, even Kero Kero Bonito would be amazing.

Karl Bartos did great with producing Electronic. A shame he never remixed or produced anything for them. He was the best Kraftwerk member, IMO.

Also I've always dreamed of some sort of remix or collab with Aphex Twin, Björk or Ryuichi Sakamoto.

Last summer I saw Soichi Terada live and it was incredible. I think him and Shinichiro Yokota would be great remixers for them.

I'm glad Norman Cook didn't remix anything PSB. I never quite understood why his stuff was so popular, but maybe it just captured the zeitgeist.

Well I was 17 in 1999 and Fatboy slim was at the right place at the right time.

It was a fad really - didnt mind it at the time, but tried the You've come a long way album recently and it sounded horrendous to my ears. Also the worst big name DJ I've ever seen live by a distance

I would have personally loved a Red Jerry remix of PSB, I'm surprised Rhythm Masters didn't do a remix, as they were remixing pretty much everything around 96-97 time.

A Cicero remix of a PSB track could have been interesting ?

It felt like The Orb and Aphex Twin churned out remixes for everybody in the nineties - except PSB. Dunno if that's a good thing or not.

I always wanted a Way Out West/Nick Warren remix of PSB

Always felt that Fred Falke should've remixed All Over The World if it had ben given the single treatment it deserved.
Purple Disco Machine would be interesting for the right track.

Oh now you're talking! Way Out West was my go-to for a while when PSB was in the doldrums a bit. I'd never of known their existence but my sister bought me their debut album for my birthday and I listened to it on repeat for ages.

I still follow Jody Wisternoff on FB - he seems like a stand up fella.

I know they're not crazy about Erasure but a Vince Clarke remix of Miserabalism would have worked well with the plinky-plonky end of synth sounds...

Yeah an Erasure remix of PSB would have been interesting and weirdly meta.

Did DJ Fresh ever remix PSB or was it's just the collab stuff he did with them?

Tenuously linked to my A&B mention above, Jody W is heavily involved with one of their off-shoot labels, Anjunadeep, and recently released Volume 16 of his mix series with James Grant, which is lovely.
