Jason Nevins was a good choice to remix The Caesars' Euro-Garage Retro-Rock Sound simply because Nevins has for a long time used elements of rock in his dance mixes- remember his remix of Run DMC's "It's Like That?" The Nevins extended mix and remix edit stay closest to the original, using the catchy organ riff while he bumps a funk/rock groove. In the Rock Da Club mix he drops the recognizable organ riff and substitutes a distorted rock/surf guitar. Also there's a little more vocal manipulation, a little more lead synth work and some dramatic "clubby" drops.

The Jerk It Harder mix brings in all new elements- synth sweeps, more guitar work, more blips and bleeps. The vocals are used here, but sparingly, giving the music more space to groove. A good dramatic effect, Nevins drops the beat when the vocals hit, washing them in ambience and kicking back in the groove at the right moment. After the vocals have gone through their verses, this mix pretty much planes out into chopped vocal effects and dub. A good set of remixes. Possibly the track is suffering from oversaturation due to the ubiquitous Apple iPod commercial. Oversaturated or not, "Jerk It Out" is still a fun, infectious track and these remixes pump up the Swedish group's hit quite nicely.
