There's no question the Brits know how to rock. From the original British Invasion to the more recent influx of indie pop rock bands, the UK rock tradition is strong. One band following this tradition is Foals. As one of the leading bands in the UK, Foals has released three studio albums to date and inspired a bevy of electronic and dance remixes; here are the 10 best remixes of Foals songs.

Foals - "Spanish Sahara (Deadboy Remix)"

Deadboy's understated approach to remixing Foals is a great way to kick this list off. Too often remixers take the opportunity of a remix to make something completely leftfield of the original production. In this case Deadboy understood that when he kept the emotive pieces and original vocals and adding his own bassline and new percussion to the mix.

Foals - "My Number (Hot Chip Remix)"

Warrior One manages to harness Foals' tendency for intense emotional numbers and used it to his advantage on his remix of "This Orient." Injecting some ethereal breakbeats, Warrior One delivers a most unexpected twist to the previously blissed-out number.

Stripped-down electronica, post-dubstep, chillwave, whatever you might (incorrectly) call this, there's no doubt that Mount Kimbie has created something special.

Talul took "Spanish Sahara" and made it a blissed out indie dance / deep house number keeping the original's slow tenderness at the forefront of the remix. The soft and inviting percussion mixed with the emotive lead vocals make this a warm treat!

Street bass isn't all about getting ratchet and turning up. Sometimes it's just about slowing down and letting your confidence give you swag and bounce. Put on Starkey's bass-filled take on "This Orient" and let it just wash over you as you reminiscence and explore the depths of your mind.

Foals - "Cassius (Tensnake Remix)"

Taking the already upbeat "Cassius," German DJ/producer Tensnake puts a disco bent to get you grooving. The remix is a stark change from the rest of this list, but we're loving the feel-good vibes.

Foals - "My Number (Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs Remix)"

T.E.E.D. has got to have some of the hottest stock in all of dance music right now and for good reason. His deep and hypnotic remix of Foals' "My Number" perfectly encapsulates the band's sound in a minimal, stripped down way while still keeping the underground house flavor.

Foals - "Bad Habit (Alex Metric Remix)"

Alex Metric doesn't go for his usual funky style and instead makes something more in line with the original. Deep and progressive, Metric let the original "Bad Habit" be his guide, and crafted something truly inspiring.

Foals - "Late Night (Solomun Remix)"

Solomun's take on "Late Night" keeps the original's warm mystical vibes as he adds a bed of his own analog production and rolling house beats. If you're new to Foals, this remix is a great place to start as it'll give you a real taste of the power behind their music.
