Who in the mainstream needs a dubstep makeover?

Obviously Klaxons/Skream has very mixed reception; Amy Winehouse / Moody Boyz I personally think is incredible and has not had the credit it deserves.... Burial / Bloc Party of course is genius...

...so who do you think could legitimately be reworked by someone in Dubstep without it just sounding token? With Portishead having a new album coming out, to be honest I've got the right horn for the idea of them drafting in Pinch and RSD to do some mixes!

Coki should work with Lil' Wayne and Clipse.

Without a shadow of a doubt either of these would be genius (poss not together as I fear Clipse are none too happy with Weezy's recent statements).

Totally agree re Boyzone - who should refix them? I'm thinking Vex'd or anyone on Rag & Bone.

Someone sent me a bootleg of "Mr Me Too" the other day. It's surprisingly good.

I confidently predict that R Kelly will write the biggest dubstep riddim ever in the next five years. And then sing so well over the top of it that he has to replace it with a mediocre RNB riddim just so he doesn't cause mass convulsions across the civilised world.

roisin murphy remix would be sick and imo a bit more realistic
