As mentioned on our facebook page and twitter, we're looking for talented graphic designers to join the Bright & Shiny team and help us out with our next project. If you or someone you know would be interested or would like to know more, shoot us an e-mail at admin@brightshinymusic.com. And now for the music.

Turbo Recordings ZZAfrika Remix compilation drops digitally in two days. Featuring remixes from the likes of Lightyear, Tomas Andersson, Crowdpleaser, and many more, you're not going to want to miss it. The leaked Gesaffelstein remix seems to be getting the most attention, with Busy P already calling it the remix of the year. I've got Julio Bashmore's re-work today as well: a much more melodic, down-tempo lick to lounge to.

Now, it seems to me it's been a bit too long since we've posted some quality disco-inspired funk. I hope to fix that problem with the next couple of songs, starting off with a classic french house sounding remix from Broke One.

Funkabit - Blue Moon (Broke One Remix)

Digitalfoxglove (DFG) first came to my attention with his slick remix of Louis La Roche's "My Turn". As mentioned in his bio, he's very much into those more mysterious, dreamy, and melodic sounds, something that is evident with "Someone Else". The track grips you right from the beginning with a steadily building intro and continues to hold on with an intricate blend of 80's style synths and vocal effects.

Aeroplane dropped this number from Rex the Dog when Patrick and I saw him on Wednesday to great effect. With those captivating chord progressions, it's easy to see (*hear) why. Speaking of Aeroplane, we had the fortune of catching up with Vito after the concert for an interview, so be on the lookout for that very soon!

Aeroplane - My Enemy (Rex the Dog Remix)

Broke One's Stop Making Sense EP dropped pretty recently, featuring his original "Go Go Go" along with a slew of remixes from house heavy hitters like Treasure Fingers and Evil Nine, whose re-workings I have below. They're both highly enjoyable, though I'm partial to Evil Nine's quirkier interpretation. Check out the full release on beatport here.

Everybody's Singin

Whattup everyone. I've got more new tunes that I'm pumped to share today. Acquiring these babies has gotten me through the week so far; they're guaranteed to help you finish out yours. From some fresh nu-disco to electro bangers, no matter what you're yearnin' for today, I've got what you need.

Porter Robinson. This North Carolina whiz kid topped the Beatport charts at only 18 years old with his genre-smashing hit "Say My Name". He's only getting better guys. Here's one of his latest releases, chock full of dubsteppy wobbles, electro-house hooks, and a dirty vocal sample. Beware the Porter Robinson takeover.

Porter Robinson - I'm On Fire (Original Mix)

More North Carolina produced goodness, this time from Bright & Shiny favorite Hidden Cat. Known for spitting out some dreamy, trance-inducing remixes, with this original he shows us a bit of his harder side. Love it.

Hidden Cat - The Superfuture

Delectable Dem Slackers remix from Evil Nine. This UK duo bring along a classic house sound and signature vocal chop-ups to every mix. And is it just me, or is everyone using those synths from Soulwax's remix of "Frequency"?

Dem Slackers - Swagger (Evil Nine Remix)

Back to the lighter side, I have a maaagnificent remix from His Majesty Andre of Voodoo Chilli's "Love Songs". Everything about this song is so damn funky it's almost too much. No, actually it's just right.

Voodoo Chilli - Love Songs (His Majesty Andre 'Everybody Spinnin' Remix)

Alright guys. I give up. Honestly, Treasure Fingers is too good. I can't get enough of this Atlantian's stuff. Found this track floating around the web the other day, and instantly fell in love. The vocals, the bassline, the drums, everything fits together so well it's redonkulous. And did I mention it's really good?

Treasure Fingers - It's Love (Original Mix)

To finish, I leave you with the hilarious video for Burns and Fred Falke's new collaboration Y.S.L.M. (You Stopped Loving Me). I could not be more excited for this to be released.

And, as if that wasn't enough, here's the Treasure Fingers remix to hold you over until the original is released.

stars so bright.

Today we're gonna start off relatively soft and get ravier... sorta.

When Penguin Prison isn't making beautiful remixes he makes some of the best pop music around, and from his bedroom at that.
Kimbra - Settle Down (Penguin Prison Remix)


Boris Dlugosch is a pro in the game and for good reason. His productions are consistently funky and French house inspired dancefloor fillers. Try saying his last name five times fast.
Hey Today! - Strange (Boris Dlugosch Remix)


Treasure Fingers always knows just what to do. I put this on the blog weeks ago, but was only able to offer you a link to the song on soundcloud. Here it is, downloadable and in full quality. Look for literal perfection at 4:28. And if you're fortunate enough to be in the LA area, go see him and many more Bright & Shiny favorites at Nocturnal this weekend!
Tensnake - Coma Cat (Treasure Fingers Remix)


Evil Nine hail from the UK and like to make real house music, complete with delectable piano stabs.
Evil Nine - Stay Up (Original Mix)


Everything Kids At The Bar touch turns to filth.
Deluka - Cascade (Kids At The Bar Remix)


Rave music.
Fckn Crew - Discoke (Bullwack Remix)


This new Foamo single is tribal yet fidgety. Incredible tune, he's done it again.
Foamo - Here Comes (Original Mix)


More tribal drums, this time from Jamaica... or wherever it is Diplo draws his wonderfully eccentric inspirations.
Proxy - 8000 (Diplo Remix)


Hip-Hops
I have a refreshingly bizzarre array of hip-hop to share with you all today. This first track is from the Gucci Man himself, featuring warm production from Pharrell and a sick verse from Ms. Minaj.
Guccie Mane - Haterade ft Pharrell & Nicki Minaj

Next is the Bearmod remix of a track by Haitian rapper Mr. OK. This beat is otherworldly.
Mr. OK - Yaya ft. Larose (Bearmod Remix)


Finally is a track by Seymour Bits, featuring walking internet memes Die Antwoord on the beat.
Seymour Bits - Spectacular ft. Die Antwoord


Sir Real

Don't Worry

Whattup everyone, PK here. I'll get right into the nitty-gritty with this post. If you have any doubts about the songs I'm about to bestow upon you, refer above.

Anything that bears this Atlanta based DJ's name is a must-have for me, but this is just extraordinary. Check it.
Treasure Fingers - Lift Me



DCUP keeps poppin' up here on Bright and Shiny, a testament to the groove-inducing power he has over his listeners. This Airwolf remix is no exception.
DCUP - To Be in Love (Airwolf Remix)



Don't really know much about either of these artists, but I still love this song. It really comes into it's own late in the track, so be patient, and you'll find it's well worth the wait.
Teeth - See Spaces (Dreamtrak Diamond Sound Remix)



I'll change things up here with some more serious electro. Again, you might have to wait a little for it to really hit its stride, but when it does, it's bonkers.
Evil Nine - Ultimo



Here's some certified electro-funk from Eumig & Chinon, who have been shakin' up the blogosphere recently with their new EP, "Crash"
Data/Debt - California Special (Eumig & Chinon Remix)



Gigamesh makes Mike Posner's vocals tolerable. End of story.
Mike Posner - Cooler Than Me (Gigamesh Remix)



And finally, I leave you with an absolute banger of a track from Swedish duo Dada Life. This one is sure to get the crowd going when the drop hits.
Dada Life - Cookies with a Smile (Original Mix)


Happy Thursday!
