Future House | Christofi Unveils Future House Remix of Baby Bash’s “Baby I’m Back”
Posted by Juicebox on July 7, 2015
There’s an interesting irony when it comes to dance music’s newest genre, future house. The genre, which was championed by the likes of Oliver Heldens and Tchami, is characterized by its groove-driven bass lines that borrows vintage sounds from dance music, while delivering a main stage punch. The genre, which is supposed to be the “future” of dance music, actually relies on the past, and some future house producers have even taken to looking to the past to draw inspiration for their music. Since he made his debut in 2014, Christofi has steadily grown to become one of Los Angeles’ most promising house talents, and today, the serial remixer has delivered his latest effort – a groovy remix of Baby Bash’s “Baby, I’m Back.” On the remix, Christofi increases the tempo and weaves together uplifting piano melodies with thumping kicks and intricate synth work to create a remix that will have you out of your seat and grooving on the dance floor.

HiFadility released another chill edit from The Queens concept project, an edit of the 1992 SWV classic, “Weak”. After the Lauryn Hill and Queen Latifah tracks, we were interested to hear what this artist has created, so we checked it out. Everything sounds so out of the box, in a good way. In the case of this track, the juxtaposition between the synths, which sound so original and blend well with the throwback vocals, and his new electronic flip that takes place a third of the way in, takes the track to another level. This track is definitely worth the play and great for riding in cars with the windows down, another solid summer jam.

HiFadility dropped another exciting edit, an isolation of Lauryn Hill’s vocals from The Fugee’s “Ready or Not” track with a very luxurious hip-hop/world instrument electronic sound. What really makes this track worth supporting is the thoughtfulness involved in the arrangement of quality sounds, and the attention used in choosing the vocal arrangement. HiFadility is part of a movement that is bringing consciousness back into popular culture.
HiFadility, whose tagline is “peace, love and prosperity”, seems to ask for intention and awareness out of life that he also likes to deliver within his music, allowing him to create really intricate and interesting pieces. Before releasing this track, he asked himself the question of why he decides to make, release and engage in the music industry. He replied with the idea of: “What does make creating music worth the while is the mystery.” Later that night, at the release of the Lauryn Hill track, he simply posted an infinity sign, “?”, indicating the infinite nature of our being and sound, the thrilling mystery of music, and how it magically touches our soul.
The ability to make chill bangers, songs that are laid back but still get you pumped up, is pretty unique, so make sure to check out this track, it’s just in time for the summer feels. HiFadility will be releasing more videos and tracks in relation to this concept project, The Queens EP, over the duration of the summer, so be sure to follow HiFadility on his social media, soundcloud, tumblr, twitter, for more gems.
Electro-House | Andrei Stephen Debuts On Mau5trap With “Some Chords” Remix
Posted by Tay on June 24, 2015
Remix competitions have always been a fun way to push producers to throw their own unique spin on a track, and help unearth hidden talent, and deadmau5 and Beatport did just that. The outspoken, mau5trap head honcho and Beatport teamed up to host a remix competition for Dillon Francis’ electro-influenced moombah remix of “Some Chords,” and Andrei Stephen delivered a gem. The Toronto-native was able to separate himself from the other entrants with his unique remix that could only be described as fusion between electro and future house. Stephen keeps the iconic chord progressions of the original, while weaving together big, booming bass lines with glitchy synth stabs and a heavy-hitting electro backbone to deliver a stunning product.
