List of Unreleased Madonna Songs - Unreleased Remixes Officially Commissioned (any Period)

Unreleased Remixes Officially Commissioned (any Period)

Not intended to include bootleg/unofficial mixes or "mash-ups" even if constructed by big-name producers.

Just to clear this up once and for all: "White label" is NOT a term meant to be used for all unofficial remixes. It refers to bootlegged records that usually have a plain white label. If a remix has never been pressed to an actual 12" record, it is not a white label.

• Like a Virgin (remix) by producer Nile Rodgers, (formerly of the group Chic). Nile mentioned in an interview of the time that the remix of this song by John Jellybean Benitez was chosen over his for the release of the 12" dance single.

• Cherish (remix) Official commissioned remix by Hank Shocklee and Phil Castellano as first reported in Billboard Magazine. Never released.

• Bedtime Story (remix) Was done during the mid-90's by Ralphi Rosario but was not accepted by the label at the time for commercial single release due to the underground vibe used. A more recent 2005 mix was also done by Victor Calderone. He requested and got the masters for his personal use from WB music without a specific commercial project in mind. Jason Nevins also remixed the track on spec as listed in his discography.

• Crazy for You (remixes) by Junior Vasquez. This 90's dance version of the 1985 ballad circulated widely among collectors. It was never issued commercially or promotionally. Junior Vasquez did an Arena Anthem and an X-Beat Mix as well as several versions based on these two.

• Crazy for You (remix) by Nikolas & Sibley. A dance mix that first appeared on a bootleg compilation back in 1997. Often mis-credited to Tony Moran or Junior Vasquez.

• Be Careful (remix) by Pablo Flores (as reported in Billboard Magazine). Done in the summer of 1999 with the Gypsy Kings commissioned to play Flamenco guitar and do vocal overdubs on the mix. Victor Calderone was also supposed to remix this song. See article V for Victor Neither mix of this cancelled single has ever leaked out. Victor's discography oddly does not list this song, but instead shows Power Of Goodbye which is not widely thought to have been remixed by him (possible confusion). See Calderone discography

• Ray of Light (remix) by Richie Santana. Commissioned but not released (possibly due to its 12:24 length). Found by fans on file-sharing services. This remix was officially released on a promotional 12" vinyl single, released only to Billboard Reporting Club Djs (confirmed by Orlando Puerta, VP of Promotions, Street and Lifestyle Marketing at Warner Brothers Records.)

• Nothing Really Matters (remix) A full 25-minute version that Madonna "loved" by Talvin Singh as described in an interview with India Today in 1998. This may be a longer version of his commercially released Vikram mix which clocks in at 13:44.

• American Pie (JB's remix) by Jonsi (of Sigur Rós) and Bix. From year 2000 Don McLean cover. Remix duo did not meet the record label deadline for requested submission. They finished the mix and later posted to the public on their website Madonna's club single was issued without the JB version.

• Music and Don't Tell Me (remixes) by Dave Aude. These were played on mix radio shows in the UK and have been circulating among collectors but they do not appear on the commercial or promotional copies issued for these songs. Dave's was the last of 7 different mixers commissioned.

• Music (remixes) by Richard "Humpty" Vission. These were commissioned but not released. A Phunktron Mix (6:21), Phunktron Dub (6:09) and a Phunktron Radio Edit (4:14) are circulating among collectors on the Internet.

• Runaway Lover (remix) by Victor Calderone. His version was never released, but he did play it on a radio broadcast. That version is privately circulating among fans, but is edited to make it sound full, when in reality it was mixed.

• What It Feels Like For A Girl (remix) by Thunderpuss. This remix was not included on commercial release due to a misunderstanding, according to the members of the remix duo. Warner Brothers Records got word the remix had leaked months before the scheduled release. Upon hearing about the prematurely leaked Thunderpuss remix, Madonna's angered record label decided not to use the remix. In reality, the leaked file in question was an amateur made remix incorrectly labeled. The authentic Thunderpuss mix has since been circulating among collectors via the internet, and on bootleg releases.

• What It Feels Like For A Girl (remix) by Manny Lehman. Commissioned but not released. He previewed it on his website.

• Die Another Day (remix) by DJ Tiësto was commissioned but rejected. It was played during one of his live sets and is circulating among collectors, as it was pressed on a limited edition white label release along with another rejected Tiësto remix of a song by Radiohead. A replica made by Tiësto-fans is also circulating (clocking in at 7:14).

• Over And Over (remix) by Tracy Young. A more recent remix (c.2005) of the old 1984 song was commissioned but was never used. It does appear listed on Young's discography. It was made for a Rugrats movie and was later scrapped.

• Hollywood (remix) by Blow Up. The duo Paolo Cilione and Claudio Camaione confirmed the existence of this remix on their official site, stating it was planned for an American Life Club Mixes LP in 2004, which never materialized (possibly due to the ReInvention Tour going on at the time). Their "Love Profusion" remix, which originates from the same time frame, showed up on the U.S. Maxi-single. The duo also, according to an interview, was planning to remix "Mother & Father", though that was never completed.

• Hollywood (remix) by Junior Vasquez. An official project unlike most of Junior's mixes made for his own private use. This project was granted by Madonna at the personal request of Donatella Versace for exclusive use in a fashion show in spite of the ongoing feud between Junior and Madonna.

• Hollywood (remix) by Sander Kleinenberg. This remix was commissioned but was rejected. The Sander Kleinenberg Dub is available on a one-sided White Label Promo vinyl. The Sander Kleinenberg Club Mix was played during a live set. The full Club Mix has not yet leaked to the Internet.

• Hollywood (Deepsky Home Sweet Home Vocal Remix) by Deepsky. Though various versions of "Hollywood" remixes by Deepsky are called "Deepsky Home Sweet Home Vocal Remix", they are mistitled, and are actually the Dub version of the remix. A Vocal Radio Edit is on a promotional CD.

• Into The Hollywood Groove by Peter Rauhofer. Listed on his official website remixes listing. The mix was never released as the Missy Elliott samples were never cleared.

• Nobody Knows Me (remix) by LEX. The duo completed a remix, which was accepted by the label but never released. It is possible that it was decided this remix would not be used when the label picked up Peter Rauhofer's bootleg mix.

• Mother and Father (remix) by Johnny Rocks. The Rauhofer mix was eventually released on a compilation album but the official Johnny Rocks mix only appeared on radio during a KTU 103.5 mix show in New York and remains unreleased. Joe Carrano programmed the mix. World Anthem Remix 9min 30sec and World Anthem Radio Edit 3min 35sec. See Johnny Rocks site

• Hung Up (remix) by LEX. The LEX Vocal Mix and the LEX Instrumental Mix was accepted and sent out to DJs via digital download. The duo also completed a LEX Reggaeton Mix that was rejected.

• Get Together (remix) by Roger Sanchez. Rejected mix. Roger claims he asked for the tracks to do this remix on his radio show, which is false He has since played it twice on his radio show.

• Get Together (remix) by Thin White Duke. Stuart Price made 2 mixes of this song (Jacques Lu cont mix and Thin White Duke mix) and he had to choose between them which will be released. He chose the Jacques Lu Cont Mix. The Thin White Duke mix was rejected even to be sent out to DJs via digital download.

• Sorry (dubs) by Pet Shop Boys. Neil Tennant & Chris Lowe made several mixes of this song, but not all of them got an official release. In a 2007 interview Neil Tennant reveals they made several Dub versions of "Sorry". Not very much later, the Minimal Dub surfaced on the internet for the first time; however, they also confirmed that alternate and maximal dubs remain unreleased.

• 4 Minutes (remixes). A remix by Alex Dromgoole, and an alternate Tracy Young remix were never released.

• Give It 2 Me (remixes). A remix by Blow-Up was never approved or released. Alternate, rejected remixes by Sly & Robbie and Jody Den Broeder were also never released.

• Miles Away (remixes). Remixes for Miles Away were commissioned from Kaskade, Lost Daze and Headcleanr (who also remixed American Life and Love Profusion) but were never approved by the label or Madonna. For a brief description, see Madonnatribe Exclusive Preview: Miles Away Remixes.

• Celebration (remixes). Remixes by Chris Lake were not accepted by Madonna. Also rejected were some alternate mixes, edits and dubs by Johnny Vicious, and some alternate edits by Felguk. An alternate remix by Oakenfold also remains unreleased.

• Revolver (remixes). Several Tracy Young remixes were not accepted by Warner, including a full vocal mix, a rapless mix, an instrumental dub and a radio edit. Only the dub appears on any release, listed as "Tracy Young's Shoot To Kill Remix". A remix by DJ Enferno & Ktoonz was done on spec and not approved. In August 2010 it was leaked on DJ Enferno's soundcloud page. Another remix by Ted Springman was not used.
