Just stumbled across some Todd Terje re-edits on the 'Tube. Fuck me, they're amazing.
This Chic one has a massive nod to Moodymann

Any thing else I should be checking? Who makes good re-edits other than Todd Terje?

That Chic one is amazing alright. I think he does one of the Bee Gees You Should be Dancing too.
I'm not sure who or what Anorak are but they seem to do some too, though I don't know the originals.

There's also JAZ, some of his edits and mixes are at lovefingers.org and arawa.fm, though he does the more cosmic side of disco.

Really enjoying this.

I think Carl Craig's take on Once in a Lifetime is excellent though a load of my mates don't like it.

I have a record on that Moxie series http://www.discogs.com/Unknown-Artist-Feels-So-Good-Up-And-Down-Beep/release/1550678
I found out from Discogs, it's the lads from LCD Soundsystem what done it. One side is a version of Love Has Come Around, not sure what the other side is, but's brilliant

There is absolutely no reason for that re-edit to exist. Awful.

The Chic one at the top of this thread is the only re-edit I rate as better than the original, everything else I've heard is just scoring novelty/curiosity points. I dig the whole "salvaging gold from Phil Collinsesque shit" aesthetic in theory, but less so in practice. They go on about this kind of thing a lot over at the DJHistory forum.

The Levan/Cookie Monster remix is of course spectacular, but I don't consider it part of the "nu" re-edit craze as it's from 1978. I've been looking for a copy but even the reissue is quite expensive.

No way! Some of my favourite tracks of the last few years have been "gold salvaged from Phil Collinsesque shit". In most cases they're not re-edits because they don't need to be, they're just great tracks but listen to the samples of Jaz's I PLayed Sports here. I don't know the originals but most every track on the album is superb and they're all re-edits.
I would agree on most edits not actually improving the original, for example the Once in a Lifetime one, or the Todd Terje edit of You Should be Dancing, I dunno, maybe they're just to make those kind of tracks more DJ friendly?
