Looking for remixed (?) Shanties

[Rhia Firewalker]

I am trying to find either remixed classic shanties or original recordings that have a more "techno/tribal/dance/trance" feel... anybody got any suggestions?

"techno/tribal/dance/trance"

So far as I know, this phrase doesn't really describe sea shanties.

You might check out some of the other threads about Punk and Metal bands with nautical themes. That's about the closest I think you're going to come, though I stand willing to be corrected.

Aye, but if ye consult the oracle (google) ye can find just about any manner o' tune ye be lookin fer.

I manged to find a little beauty called "The ballad of robin and the infamous pirate ja" here

I've heard a modernized version of 'Beggar Man' as a bonus track on an album. Unfortunately, I can't recall it right now, but I think it was by Great Big Sea (though don't quote me on that).

Aye, Coastie... Great Big Sea it be, and the album be "Rant and Roar"

GBS has a few updated shanties, although I wouldn't put them in the techno/trance/tribal genre... more like easy listening or even pop. It's brilliant stuff tho... me Mp3 player be overflowin with the Sea, as it were.

Gaelic Storm has done a few shanty remakes as well, and their sound is maybe a little more tribal, but still very irish-folksy.
