Along with my homeboy Marcus Santoro, Adam McCoy, producing under the name Swanson, is one of the top up and coming producers out of Australia. He made this a while back for a remix contest that he ended up winning popular vote in and is now giving it away for free. His rendition of Hey Ocean’s “Big Blue Wave” is not only atmospheric but also, as much as one can be these days in progressive, unique.

Oh wow, it really didn’t take too long for me to get lost in this remix. I have to admit, I use to be into The Dreams music and listening to this remix from Gladkill takes his great R&B vocals to a whole other level, somewhere between the floor and a bed. This is some real baby making music, your girlfriend will appreciate you for downloading this.

What ever happened to Hannah Montana? Miley Cyrus has seemed to take her own Lindsay Lohan-esque nose dive for the worse, except more in control (how crazy does that sound?). Her newest release is produced by none other than Mike Will Made it. Without a doubt, this song is going to be a radio hit, however I really question what’s going on in Miley’s head. Anyways all moral standards aside, peep the video above and if you happen to be a big Miley Cyrus fan then look for her upcoming album.

The preternaturally chic folks at Kitsuné have just released two summer mixes that are chock full of warm weather jams for your listening pleasure. The first is a little minimix from Jerry Bouthier and Gildas Kitsuné; if you’re into nu-disco and funky electropop, this is your new mainstay. Hot Chip, Yelle, Viceroy, Tiny Dragons and many more are folded and blended into this brief but awesome mix. This is a great way to gear up for summer fetsival season — or, alternatively, to switch up the rotation in your car. Second is a longer (but just as groovy) mixtape from French producer Pyramid, which features great tracks from Gesaffelstein, Gigamesh, Alex Metric, and of course Pyramid himself. Tracklists after the jump (with song-by-song comments from Jerry Bouthier, in the case of the minimix).

Kitsuné Soleil Mix 2

1 ? SUPERPOZE Pavane?« A solemn almost spooky intro from a 20 year old French prodigy tipped for big things. Watch this space. »

2 ? TINY DRAGONS Canvas (PACT remix)?« A majestic yet slightly off the wall way to kick off the mix into gear, like an indie The XX with interesting beats and drops.»

3 ? JBAG Mogadisco?« My music partner Andrea Gorgerino and I have completed our second JBAG single and here it is exclusive to Kitsuné Soleil Mix 2. ‘Mogadisco’ is a bit of an ode to hedonism… and the constant pursuit of happiness. »

4 ? DOMBRANCE The Witch (Feat. Sourya) (ASWEFALL remix)

« Another of France’s best kept secrets, Dombrance is a classically trained musician who’s embraced rock and the electronic revolution. The sublime Aswefall version brilliantly mixes decades. »

5 ? IS TROPICAL Dancing Anymore (TWO DOOR CINEMA CLUB remix)

« Not content from having turned into a mega band, Two Door Cinema Club are now trying their hand at remixing. Here they rework London’s infamous Is Tropical and turn “Dancing Anymore” into a cheeky piano anthem. »

6 ? VICEROY While We’re in Love (Feat. GHOST BEACH) (FARE SOLDI remix)

« Another meaty pairing, the poppy nu-disco of this young Californian producer gets a rockin’ fix from Milan’s funky nutters Fare Soldi. »

7 ? KENT ODESSA Bo Jacksons (HAYS HOLLADAY remix) « From Detroit to Brooklyn, Kent Odessa has a passion for all things funky and racey (as proved on Kitsuné AMERICA 2). The remix here almost breaks new genres… lunatic beat? mentalectro ? »

8 ? ROOSEVELT Soleil?« The aptly titled ‘Soleil’ flies off to a bedazzled destination. Heavenly guitar arpeggios + young boyish voice = fabulous moving ditty. »

9 ? CHARLI XCX You (Ha Ha Ha) (GOLDROOM remix) « The latest electro banshee on the east London block gets the FM treatment from California’s Goldroom who demonstrates once more why he’s become a hot shot. »

10 ? THE SWISS Elouisa (VILLA remix)?« Balkan house? Not quite, The Swiss are in fact Aussies who distillate a personal form of 80s jazzed-up funk, but?in the hands of Belgium’s Villa, ‘Elouisa’ turns into a quaint dance hall number gone mad, silly dance moves included. »

11 ? SAINT MICHEL Katherine (GILDAS Kitsuné Club Dub Night remix)

« Could this Versailles combo produced by Alex Gopher follow in the footsteps of Air and Phoenix and achieve worldwide recognition? For now these sensitive souls remixed by Gildas take the autobahn to Hamburg. »

12 ? JUPITER Starlighter (JBAG remix)?« Gildas and I have long been supporters of the Parisian duo… so JBAG weren’t going to turn down the occasion of remixing our favourite track off their album. Reminds me of Swing Out Sister each time I play it. »

13 ? CRAYON Cosma (PYRAMID remix)?« Two Kitsuné artists befriend each other and decide to produce an EP together where each provides his own version of the same track. Pyramid wins this time, but only just… »

14 ? KAMP! Distance of the Modern Hearts?« Kamp! is one unstoppable Polish band. Few manage to convey such tasteful melodies to as much genuine brilliance. »

15 ? HOT CHIP How Do You Do (TODD TERJE remix)?« Gildas first put me onto Todd Terje some years ago, and boy the Norwegian’s done good since. He’s currently riding that house tide better than anyone else. »

16 ? TWO DOOR CINEMA CLUB Next Year (JBAG remix) « Two Door Cinema Club go tropical! We had to come up with new chords to back up the vocals and get the song to work on the dancefloor. According to Gildas this remix encapsulates better than any other this new Soleil mix’s spirit. »

17 ? D E N A Cash, Diamond Rings, Swimming Pools (LOU TETI remix)

« Bulgarian singer-songwriter – and more – based in Berlin, Denitza Todorova brings her own perspective to hip-pop. Her YouTube smash (released on Kitsuné) gets brushed up here by New York’s Lou Teti who does wonders by giving it a punk-funk lick complete with live bass and guitar…»

18 ? SEAN BONES United (PHONE TAG remix)?« Another sick Kitsuné finding from America. Ravin’ at 106 BPM like Happy Mondays remixed by Belgians, this track’s in a league of its own and had to go in. »

19 ? YELLE L’Amour Parfait (Instrumental)?« Strangely, this down-tempo groover co-produced with Aeroplane resonates even deeper in its instrumental form. »

20 ? ALAN BRAXE One More Chance (with THE SPIMES)?« As Daft Punk make a blinding come back, buddy Alan Braxe drops his best single since ‘Rubicon’. A moving finale that leaves the book open… »

The latest single from Gesaffelstein dropped earlier this week on OWSLA (OWSLA: continuing to kill it in 2013), and boy is it a dark one. Anyone with a flair for the sinister will immediately appreciate the accompanying video that the tech house maven released in tandem with the track — it deftly heightens the tension and uneasiness of the song itself. Not exactly what you’d consider standard summertime fare, but definitely a fascinating listen.

Featured just moments ago on Central Trak, Dustin Cavazos releases his highly anticipated “3:34am” track off his forthcoming “Until The Summer Ends” mixtape slated to release this month. Cavzos’s “3:44am” is cerebral as it is daunting, detailing a dark love story over an ominous Jose Gomez produced beat. Directed by Kevin Pacheco, “3:44am” features cameos from local celebrity Internet Trap God as well as members of his live band and entourage. If the future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams, Dustin Cavazos is close to making them a reality.

“I think something beautiful and timeless was created”

Does it seem like he is either always high, or just goofy like that? Those dance moves are a bit much at times, but you can see his passion. Also that kitty may just be cutest DJ cat around, sorry Mr Meowingtons and Mittens Francis.
