StarRo, an artist from Los Angeles who puts out numerous emotional jazz, R&B, chill, and soul tracks, released this remix of “Goodbye ft. Toki Asako” by Japanese instrumental post-rock band Toe. This remix is expertly crafted and incredibly soothing. The drums and chimes bring in a few exotic sounds and the track is one you will definitely find yourself rocking along to. It’s different, but in a good way. This one’s free to download!

Electro, Trap | Laura Mvula – Green Gardens (Djemba Djemba Remix)

Posted by on June 27, 2013

I admire Djemba Djemba as an artist for introducing me to other artists that aren’t on my radar that very well should be. Before listening to this remix, I checked out the video for “Green Gardens” (above) which features Laura Mvula and company dancing around in parking lots and a mysterious forest wonderland at dusk. Both the song and the video are really beautiful, actually, as is Laura herself. What’s also awesome about Djemba Djemba’s remixes is that they don’t take away from the quality of the original version. In fact, this track hardly references “Green Gardens” other than a select few of the lyrics. However, Djemba Djemba maintains the same bright and empowering vibes that make the original so unique and makes them work in his own way.

I have to say though… As great as Laura Mvula’s dance party looks, I think Djemba Djemba’s green garden is where it’s at.
