New York City's Bender follows up his deep house remix of Swedish House Mafia and Laidback Luke's "Leave the World Behind" with a touched up rendition of Route 94's "My Love." Flipping a quick 180, Bender adds a bouncy backbone to the mellowed out original. Switching gears from his usual dark and deep aesthetic, he uses a flowery sax fill to add all the right flair in all the right places. Backed by tasteful piano chords and a brilliant bass line Bender's remix of "My Love," blends late night floor-filling grooves with summertime style.

As the deep house revolution continues to take root, it only seems appropriate that some of dance music's most iconic tracks be brought into the sub bass fold. Enter Bender, the New York-based producer who twists the Swedish House Mafia classic, "Leave the World Behind" into a brooding deep house cut. An appropriate after hours rendition of the trio's most recognizable output, Bender's touch leaves little of the original intact -- only a baritone version of the top line remains, bookended by chattering percussion, swirling white noise and a rumbling elastic bass line.

A frequent visitor in our Best of the Rest feature, Bender has been slowly toiling away in New York City, developing a strange flair for the unexpected. A chameleon in the studio, his productions take on lives of their own, each distinctly different than the next. On "Erratic," Bender follows up his Late Night spin on Kaskade's "Atmosphere" with a twisted array of industrial kicks, spastic arps and some truly deviant sample selection. We can't all be wolves of wall street, but sometimes we can pretend.
