The Chuckness

This is something to the effect of a Throwback Thursday post. Chuck has an uncanny ability to find brand spankin’ new songs. A lot of them. I’m going to attempt to complement him with this post (and probably most subsequent posts). What I have here is an absolute banger that dates back to circa 2008. I’ve pegged this as my summer driving anthem (when I drive Chuck’s car). We all know of Klaas for adding some sweet vocals to Guru Josh Project’s “Infinity 2008″. Well he’s back at it again with his remix of this jam. [Audio clip: view full … Continue reading →

We’ll keep this one quick…I got a hold of a rough cut of The Knocks’ remix last week, and it was spreading around the internet like it was the final product. Long story short, it was not the final product…but this is. So delete the old version and add this one, and you’ll be good to go.

Whoa whoa whoa. Chromeo’s original “Night By Night” is a top notch track on it’s own, but NEUS just flipped the entire thing 180 degrees. Nobody is safe when those whomps kick in at the 1:27 mark. I repeat; not a soul is safe. I’m not even that into dubstep, but this one’s got me hooked. Shout out to Tony with the find.

Remixes are so outrageously hit or miss, that it gets to the point where I just ignore them now. I feel like everybody remixes the same songs, and 75% of them shatter your eardrums with authority. Every once in a while though, you get that one gem that is borderline better than the original. We might have one of those on our hands right here, as Clique New Trends puts a welcome spin on Sleigh Bells’ “Rill Rill”. Shoutout to Nik for the find.

In one of the more bizarre get-togethers in recent memory, the 1986 (as in 25 years ago) Grammy winner for Best New Artist has teamed up with none other than Hov himself for a remix to Sade’s “The Moon And The Sky”. The production was taken care of by Noah ’40′ Shebib, also known as Drake’s producer and best friend. This one’s got an eerie, soulful vibe to it that is vastly different than anything Jay has featured on in the past. A cool feel to it though…check it out for yourself below.

So apparently that Foster The People remix of “Pumped Up Kicks” is not The Knocks’ official remix; but it’s floating around the internet like it is. Even though it’s just their rough draft, it’s still dynamite…so everyone wins. Meanwhile, I just got a hold of their official remix of The Streets’ “OMG”, which transforms the hard-hitting British rap group’s track into a straight dance groove. I feel like I’m pushing these guys hard lately, but it’s for great reason. Hit the stream and download below.

While on tour with Ellie Goulding, The Knocks are apparently still finding time to put together some remixes. Here they inject Foster The People’s anthem with a little pep that transforms the original into a raging dance party. If you have the chance, take a look at their remaining tour schedule and try to catch them; they put on a hell of a live show and are great dudes. Hit the stream and download below. UPDATE: According to The Knocks’ Facebook page… “THAT VERSION OF THE PUMPED UP KICKS REMIX GOING AROUND IS NOT THE RIGHT ONE IT IS A … Continue reading →

That is exactly how I imagine a French DJ to look. Fred Falke, your vibe is killing the game. Well executed. Falke takes on Metronomy’s “The Look”, which I was previously unfamiliar with, and turns it into a pepped up dance groove. Arguably the most random thing I will post today, so be sure to give it a listen and let me know what you think.

British producer Star Slinger adds his magic touch to Alex Winston’s already catchy anthem “Sister Wife”. Instead of the original’s piano layer, Starslinger stirs up some luscious synths to give it more of a party vibe. Definitely get into this one; hit the stream and download below. By the way, if you don’t already check out Neon Gold, do yourself a favor and get involved. These guys consistently produce talented, up-and-coming artists, to the point where it’s almost unfair to other labels. If you’re looking for that new band that’s about to explode onto the scene, look no further then … Continue reading →

In the middle of my first listen on this one, and figured I should just get it out to the people. Star-studded remix right here. Apparently this is a rough draft of the official remix to come; so stay tuned. Oh, and that was post # 1,000. Thanks for sticking with me. Big things coming.
