Hip-Hop, Videos | Mike Stud- We Can’t Stop (Remix) (Prod. Jon Kilmer & The Arsenals)
Posted by LoffyG on July 7, 2013
“And you can say the way i’m livin’ is wrong, but if you live like I live then you’d be singin’ along”
The 5th week of #SundayStudDay is among us and after many request from fans Mike Stud puts his spin on “We Can’t Stop” by Miley Cyrus. Originally produced by Mike Will Made It, Jon Kilmer and the Arsenals put together a pretty similar production themselves that fits Mike’s style perfectly. It’s obvious at this point that there is no stopping Mike Stud. Catch him and the touring’s boring crew on The Relief Tour now in a city near year.
Indie, Interviews, Progressive House | ASTR – Operate (The Chainsmokers Remix) + Exclusive Interview
Posted by Mel on June 20, 2013
It has been roughly four months since my hand slightly grazed my sister’s friend’s thigh. Coincidentally, it has also been about four months since I first heard of The Chainsmokers. Since then, my hand has been many places but none as sweet as that. I have also watched The Chainsmokers grow from two decent looking guys to two excellent looking guys who make awesome music. Their first remix that got my attention was of Jonsi’s “Around Us”. That track… it made me feel for the first time. Sara B, the girl who had a crush on me in eleventh grade, I get you now. The Chainsmokers taught me how to love. Since then I’ve learned to take it, roll it up into a ball, toss it in the air and if there’s not a steady current of wind, I smash that into oblivion.
Picture yourself walking through the city late one night when you see a beautiful girl sitting in a coffee shop eating a plum. She is facing outward toward the street and the store’s walls are glass so you two can see each other. You want to go talk to her but you can’t find the door to get in. Not being able to figure out where the entrance is, you go up to the glass and relentlessly stare at her. Upon closer inspection you realize that she is in fact eating an oddly shaped apple not a plum. “Why are you eating an apple?” you mouth to her. You can hear her say through the glass while turning the apple “no no, this is a plum”. After seeing the flesh of the fruit it is indeed a plum. You then turn around to go home and find $20 on the ground.
The combination of slight disappointment, confusion, and joy that night brings is what I think of their latest remix.
We also had a chance to talk to them about life’s most important questions, such as “If you were to suddenly wake up in the middle of the night for seemingly no reason and upon looking to the nearest wall saw a hole that has never been there before the size of the middle, cardboard part of a roll of toilet paper, would you stick stuff in it?”. Click past the break if you want to laugh, cry, and be inspired.

Posted by Mach on June 15, 2013
Haywyre just kicked off his Song Per Week Project and so far so… awesome! I have been saying it for over a year now, Haywyre is one of the most underrated Glitch-hop producers out there. His skills in composition and production surpass most around him, leaving you absolutely in love with almost everything he puts out. This remix of “Eye of the Tiger” is unlike anything you will hear.

Electro, House, Pop | Timeflies – I Choose U (Fedde Le Grand Remix)
Posted by Grubeats on June 3, 2013
Add another one to the books. Timeflies newest radio ready hit single, “I Choose U” evidently trickled into the lab of Fedde le Grand, who remixed the electro-pop track into a heavier house hit. Adding powerful drum work and swooning synths behind Cal’s vocals and extending the already addictive drop just brought this track from six to midnight. The purity of Cal’s vocals really hold up nicely as the Dutch Commander maintains a uniform balance of added production and authenticity of the original record. Enjoy this preview for now until the official remix his Beatport in the near future. Also, be sure to cop the original single (visuals below) by Timeflies on iTunes.

Electro-House, Progressive House | Empire of the Sun – Alive (Remixes)
Posted by Middy on May 28, 2013
Luke Steele & Nick Littlemore, better known as Empire of the Sun, have created enourmous buzz for their sophomore artist album “Ice On The Dune“, set for release June 18th, notably after the success of their 2008 album “Walking On A Dream”. The lead single “Alive“, has already been a huge hit for the duo and not surprisingly has been remixed by some of the best in dance music.
Fast rising stars, Zedd and Mat Zo take the daunting task of doing an official remix for Empire of the Sun and hit it out of the park. Mat Zo brings back his atmospheric synths of earlier productions, while adding his own quick synth progression, keeping an appropriate amount of the original and vocal for a nuanced approach to the track. Zedd adds his own touch to the song with a fidgety, gritty low end, growling synths and chopped vocals showing his ability to mold his electro sound to an indie-dance track like this. David Guetta and his production team bring “Alive” to the festival stage with an in your face drop of grinding synths and thumping bass. Fellow Australian, M4SONIC adds a glitchy twist to the track with his own blend of gritty synths and fast paced key play.
