Awhile back, Br. Jeremy Johnson wrote a great piece on cyborgs, human evolution, and the musical style of dubstep. For those perhaps not as familar with dubstep, here's a short primer. What I didn't realize before yestersday was that there is a whole sub-genre of dubstep remixes of classical pieces. This week's Jubebox takes us through a sampling of them.

First up Beethoven's Fur Elise (good head bobbin' beats in this one):
--
Next Mozart's Turkish March (super badass):
--
Next Chopin's Nocturne (creepy in the best sense):
--
As the guy whose written about how he hates Christmas, surprisingly I found myself really digging this dubstep remix of The Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies by Tchaikovsky.

Finally in the vein of classical music's epic side, Bach's Toccata and Fugue. While we're on the subject, check out TJ's ultra-stellar piece on fugues.
