Electro-House | Icona Pop – Girlfriend (The Chainsmokers Remix)

Posted by on October 27, 2013

While I still hold a grudge against the illiterate chick at the door of Webster Hall, my love for The Chainsmokers is as strong as ever. Those of you who were at TomorrowWorld and of course made the decision to go check out Alex & Drew heard this bad boy live. The remix is a bit of a change from the soothing indie melodic stuff we have heard in the past, and incorporates harder percussive elements… foreshadowing something Alex? They made the instrumental beforehand and were waiting for right vocal and in stepped Icona Pop. They made a music video with themselves, kids and candy. Just watch it. In the future, they have some big collabs coming including one with Adrian Lux.

Progressive House | Magnus & Timon feat. MAGE – By Myself

After a 10 month hiatus, Magnus & Timon returned a few weeks ago with a free track entitled “Svart” and they have just released another one. Like “Svart”, “By Myself” lends itself more to live events with the clubbier drop, but because of the superb vocals of MAGE and the indie popish break, it also makes for good listening in any situation. This is their first track that is not free so if you are a fan think about maybe supporting them.

DO SOMETHING

Chill, Mix | Easy Like Sunday Morning

sundaymorningfinal

Happy Sunday Funday, y’all. I’ve been increasingly overwhelmed lately with the amount of good music accumulating out there in the universe so I’ve found bundling them up in little care packages to be the best solution to curing all the quiet moments in your day to day routine. Today’s playlist is a low-key musical journey to keep you feeling light and carefree throughout the entirety of your day.

A little indie, a little house, some trill-electro hip-hop reworks and one Drake and one Mr. Carmack track, because what would a playlist be these days without that.

So open up your windows and let the fresh air and sun shine on in. Make yourself a hearty breakfast, stay in bed, read an old book, take a walk, say something nice to the people you care about, turn on some football, spend an extra 15 minutes playing with your dog, or don’t do anything at all. Except play this mix, on repeat.

I wanna be high, so high, I wanna be free to know
The things I do are right
I wanna be free
Just me, babe!
That’s why I’m easy
I’m easy like sunday morning…

House, Indie | Gentlemen Hall – Sail Into The Sun (Lenno Remix)

Gentlemen Hall - Sail Into The Sun (Lenno Remix)

Sleek, summer and soothing. These three words can sum up the indie-dance remix that Lenno just put on Gentleman Hall’s single “Sail Into The Sun. It has all of Lenno’s funky, disco stylistic abilities, with the indie sound of the original, that makes not only this a great remix, but the pairing of Lenno’s sound with indie rock perfect. This is a no-strings attached download, so you have no excuse not to get it.

The Aussie Thomas Jack is as it again with the remix game, and he’s either been reading my posts, or he just knows what’s good, cause this remix of Monsters And Men’s record “Little Talks” is exactly what needed to be done. All of these hit indie records deserve the remix treatment: throw some claps on there, some light piano chord progressions, a wind instrument of your choosing, and you can send that straight to the dancefloor. Look forward to catching his live set at Webster Hall October 22nd, on the East Coast leg of his Fall 2013 US tour. Must Listen and Must Download!

House, Indie | Two Door Cinema Club – Changing Of The Seasons (Belarbi Remix)

Wish I was more knowledgeable on Two Door Cinema Club, but thanks to Parisian producer Belarbi’s remix of “Changing Of The Season,” I am now properly introduced to their sound. There’s a growing trend lately of remixing indie records into dance tunes, and Belarbi does the trick with this one. If you’re into light and sexy tunes with a hint of French house, consider yourself served for the day. Now if only there was a free download…Either way, this is a must listen! Enjoy your Saturday!
