Breather

I'm moving a bit slowly this morning, so I figured we'd start things off on the slower side. These are all relaxing, feel-good jams that should suit you right any time you're feeling a solid chill coming on. Check back later today for the flip side when we should have some more high energy stuff for all you crazies to munch on.

Close Your Eyes

This first one is the type of song that just seems made for those intangible moments in life where you find yourself staring out over a sunset or reflecting on the deeper side of things. Everything about it from the perfectly layered bells and bassline to the dreamy vocals that float over the track combine to make it one of those songs that listening to it strikes an emotional chord. At least it did for me. One of my favorite tracks of the moment. The remixers responsible also have just about the coolest name ever, thunderlust. Yeah, thunderlust. Fuck with it.
Download: Arcade Fire - Sprawl II (thunderlust Remix)



I got this next one from the halloween post by our homies over at GDD, but this track has way more playability than being simply a hallows-eve jam. Hervé gives Beyonce his signature big british fidget house sound here and it straight kills as always.
Download: Beyonce - Countdown (Hervé Remix)



The latest from our boys Keljet. They take the Wynter Gordon hit 'Til Death' and mold it to their trademark disco synth-electro sound and it works like a charm. You might recognize this bad boy from the awesome mix they did for us, which if you somehow managed to miss you can listen to here. For all things Keljet be sure to head over to their soundcloud too.

Deetron doin' his thang and predictably smashing it here. There's two versions of this remix, the original remix and the Dub, I personally think the dub is waaay better. The only difference is the other remix contains the full vocal track but in all honesty I think the song breathes much better by itself without the vocals cluttering it up. Deetron seems to be on fire lately though, everything I come across by the swissman is pure deep house gold. Soothing, groovy vibes on this one.

Finally I leave you guys with this behind the scenes look at Crooker's recent Dr. Gonzo project...




Stay Classy,

Bright & Shiny Exclusive Mix by Keljet

Indie-disco outfit Keljet has been kind enough to whip us up a fantastic exclusive mix.  Hailing from the Netherlands, these boys have seen a quick rise to popularity and after one listen to this mixtape, I think you can tell why.  Only a couple years into their music making careers, and we can already hear a mature sound beyond their experience level.  They have released three new original tracks over the past month, the most recent being a collaboration with Falcon Punch, which are all featured on this mix. Keljet was even generous enough to grace us with their unreleased remix of Wynter Gordon's 'Til Death'. One of those recently released originals, Laserflies, is currently in the top 50 on Hypemachine and still climbing. Their remixes of everyone from Temper Trap to Passion Pit are all classics that have earned them admiration and fans worldwide, be sure to head over to their soundcloud to grab them, or check out a couple down below the mix.  Now get on your dancing shoes and crank that volume.

All This Gobbledeegook: Mega Post

I come bearing a cornucopia of songs. Tears of joy will spring from your eyes and streak down your face as your ears are bombarded with note after note of unadulterated perfection. I suggest taking a seat or finding something to support your wobbly knees as we proceed to today's track selections.

This one here is yet another demonstration of Keljet's masterful way with the synth. Rivaling his fantastic remix of Any Which Way, Keljet masterfully molds this Adele track into his own. Just wait for that massive guitar synth solo at around 3:10.
Adele - Rolling In The Deep (Keljet Remix)



Now the original of this song is equally amazing in my opinion, but I really love the direction that Leo Zero has taken with this one. This track maintains a fairly relaxed feeling throughout, but the strange vocals and trippy repeating synth line provide enough entertainment to keep you listening.

Hercules & Love Affair - My House (Leo Zero Remix)



Here we have an irresistibly upbeat rework by Kap10kurt. This tune would be great for those summer days at the beach. Captain Sensible's vocals are really weird... Strangely catchy. "It went bang! I said shutup."
Captain Sensible - Wot (Kap10kurt Rework)




Never heard anything from Drop Out Orchestra before, but I'm loving this funky rework they've done. I could listen to this smooth killer all day. Can't get enough of all the retro-ness going on in this throw back track.
Sex Pistols - Pretty Vacant (Drop Out Orchestra Rework) [Club Cut]




Shook has crafted yet another great remix. Full to the brim with their signature scratchy bass synth that was so present in their wonderful remix of Penguin Prison's 'The Worse It Gets'. Like the title of the song says, your gonna wanna replay this one over and over.
Electric Youth - Replay (Shook Remix)




Yeasayer is definitely one of my preferred indie bands, and although I wasn't entirely thrilled with their latest album, they have a lot to be proud of. Yellow Ostrich, aka Alex Schaaf, is a one man show from Wisconsin. I've got to hand it to him, this cover of Yeasayer's 'Tightrope' will be in my rotation for a while.
Yellow Ostrich - Tightrope (Yeasayer Cover)



Groove-tastic Swede Chris Jylkke and German producer Satin Jackets come together to create a down tempo throwback disco track that will have you movin' to the beat in no time. Slathered in great piano chord progressions, this timeless track is a trip down memory lane.
Toto - Gregory Porgy (Satin Jackets & Chris Jylkke Edit)




Pyramid is entirely unknown to me. Whoever this mystery man is, I commend him for his efforts. He has taken an almost untouchable classic by Air and brought it to new heights. Serenity and peacefulness floating through your speakorz.
Air - La Femme D'Argent (Pyramid Remix)




'96 Bulls are still relatively new on my radar, but that is not to say they are any less deserving of praise than the rest of my favorite producers. These guys are quickly making a name for themselves by releasing quality remix after quality remix. This beauty landed in our inbox yesterday, and it was too good not to post.
The Knocks - Dancing With the DJ ('96 Bulls Remix)




Moullinex just released a FREE original on his Soundcloud. Generous AND talented. What a guy.
Moullinex - Love It Is, Then




Bonus:

DFA Records' golden children, Holy Ghost, just uploaded this absolute gem of a track a couple of hours ago on Soundcloud. Enjoy the delicious bass.

Holy Ghost - Do It Again by DFA Records

Rivaling Duck Sauce's remix of Hot Mess, Oliver tries his hand at the track. Epic epic epic results ensued.
