Dubstep | One Republic – If I Lose Myself (PRFFTT & Svyable Remix)
Posted by Mach on April 9, 2013
Since their decision to collaborate together on an official basis, I have watched these two go from fairly decent solo artists to becoming a force to reckon with. “If I lose Myself” is a great orignal, frontman Ryan Tedder’s voice has always been absorbed by the hearts of many. The most common mistake I have seen made on other remixes of this track is that with these vocals you really don’t want to do too much that could overpower them and take away their effect on the listener. The most important factor to this being a great remix is that this duo made sure Ryan’s voice was heard. PRFFTT & Svyable’s reworked instrumentals are a great compliment to the story that unfolds in this track.

Chill, Preview, RnB | Brandy – Almost Doesn’t Count (Skit Remix)
Posted by Mach on April 8, 2013
Brandy remixes don’t come around too often and to my surprise it turned out to be beautiful. This track is way too smooth and sexy to not be addicting, I wish it would never stop playing. Sadly no download yet available from Skit but this is well worth the listen anyway.
Electro | Griz – Gettin’ Live
Posted by Mach on April 4, 2013
The opening of this track is epic, the drop is that and more. Griz did an exceptional job on this. The samples are cool and his synth and bass use is flawlessly exciting and funky. Funky? Oh hell yes, this track takes you to the future on a good old fashioned magic carpet ride. “Gettin’ Live” and gettin’ down.
Hip-Hop | Joey Bada$$ – Day In The Life (Prod. Harry Fraud)
Posted by Mach on April 4, 2013
This was a long overdue collaboration between mic killer Joey Bada$$ and the incredible, Harry Fraud. Joey Bada$$ will be featured in XXL Magazine’s 2013 Freshman Class, along side of Schoolboy Q, Trinidad Jame$, Ab-Soul, Logic, Action Bronson, Kirko Bangz, Travi$ Scott, Dizzy Wright, Angel Haze, and lastly Chief Keef, the “11th Freshman”. I think he is more than deserving of making the list. Just the other day someone I introduced his music to told me his rap style reminded her of MF DOOM. Remembering how right she was, I listened closely to this track and I swear I can hear a bit of MF DOOM in Joey Bada$$. “Day In The Life” is a great track, a collaboration that should happen more often.

Wow, 95 Royale is making moves with this hot new funky single. I absolutely love everything this guy has made, which has mainly been a lot of free releases. I am happy to finally see him release a gem like this on Beatport. Enjoy.

Dubstep | Singularity Ft. Nilu – Horizon
Posted by Mach on April 2, 2013
Together, Singularity and Nilu melt hearts. This track is beautiful. Nilu’s voice is the perfect addition to these incredible melodic instrumentals. The drop makes me think of a blend of Zedd and Seven Lions, which might be the most popular combo created. Truly and excellent job from Singularity and Nilu. “Horizon” is the title track from Singularity’s upcoming EP, releasing April 30th.

Alternative, Hip-Hop, Indie | The Temper Trap – Sweet Disposition (Yinyues Remix)
Posted by Mach on April 1, 2013
Another beautiful remix from the incredible pianist, Yinyues. This might in fact be my favorite from him. I love how he used the original style of the track and then blended in a little Hip-Hop for the drops. When it comes to laid back tracks, Yinyues seems to always take the win. If you haven’t familiarized yourself with the rest of his productions, I highly recommend it.
