Alternative, Chill, Featured, Videos | The Two Friends – Solitaire Ft. Katie Pearlman (Acoustic Cover)
Posted by Mach on October 10, 2012
The Two Friends released “Solitaire” about 5 months ago, and since then they have continued their incredible journey together into the music world. Today, The Two Friends bring us their acoustic cover of “Solitaire,” if you have heard the original, throw away your expectations because this incredible rendition is nothing like it. Katie Pearlman, a frequently featured vocalist on The Two Friends’ tracks, delivers a massive emotional blow with her voice using the original vocals. The Two Friends transformed their great original into something completely different, but equally amazing. The video to this cover shows that they really are just two friends, two best friends. Below is this covers download link including the original track for those of you who have not heard it yet.

Alternative, Videos | Adele – Skyfall
Posted by Mach on October 4, 2012
Adele was chosen by MGM Studios to give the new James Bond movie, “Skyfall,” some true English style. Co-written with Paul Epworth, Adele pushes her voice to another extreme. This extreme is not high notes but the deep classicalism she portrays with her voice, taking you back to the original days of James Bond and the class and suave that is he. The video above disappointingly does not depict much James Bond, but after taking a few full listens it just doesn’t even matter. Adele is one of the greatest singers in the world, not just because she can sing well but she can sing differently when it calls and continue to bring tears to the eyes of those who listen. “Skyfall” is now available for purchase on iTunes.
Drum & Bass | Deadmau5 – The Veldt (Mr FijiWiji Remix Ft. Matt Emery)
Posted by Mach on August 11, 2012
Mr FijiWiji has yet to disappoint me with his Drum & Bass productions. He always seems to know where the sweet spot is when it comes to making a great track or remix. In addition, Matt Emery’s cover of “The Veldt” vocals sounds incredible. His voice has an original but friendly tone to it, as if it had been from someone you’ve known your whole life. One of many remixes of the Deadmau5 original, but definitely one of the best.
Alternative | Drake Ft The Weeknd – Crew Love (Gemini Cover)
Posted by Mach on August 2, 2012
This cover has led me to do research on Gemini, turns out this is him singing on this track. Gemini actually sings on most of his music which I had no idea it was him (because he sounds really close to a woman). On this cover, Gemini used much less autotune than he usually does. Although he sounds like Florence and the Machine, he truly does have an incredible voice. The instrumental work is always something to try to compete with, his Piano work is beautiful. This is a pleasant surprise from Gemini.
Electro-House | The Script – Nothing (Gazzo Short Remix)
Posted by Mach on June 29, 2012
Gazzo, formerly Cloud 9, is a Producer, DJ, and Songwriter from northern New Jersey. As Cloud 9, Gazzo made a name for himself fast. Today he brings us a beautiful remix of The Scripts “Nothing.” The vocals on this track are just some of my favorites, I love tone of the voice a long with the content of them. Gazzo created an awesome long intro, building into the electro drop that just sets the dance floor on fire.
Progressive House | Justin Bieber – Boyfriend (Dada Life Remix)
Posted by Middy on May 25, 2012
Two Justin Beiber posts in 24 hours? Oh Hell Yea. However, you really cannot tell that Justin Beiber is the one on the vocals. Maybe if you are a true Belieber you will pick up on the rhythm of his voice, but otherwise Dada Life distorted the voice so much that is could be one of them singing. Dada Life has taken a lot of flack for this, but they asked their fans what was the artist they were least likely to remix and the Biebs was the response and man did they remix the Biebs. The diehard fans will hold their nose at this track, but they are missing out on some stellar music. The new instrumental is not as heavy as we are accustomed to hearing from Dada Life, but it is perfect for the track. The melody provided by Dada Life is top of the line with uplifting synth chords, quick claps and a thumping bass line, taking this track from pop single to a legitimate, peak time club banger.
Dubstep | Kimbra – Settle Down (TYR & Rodway Remix)
Posted by Mach on May 15, 2012
This has to be one of my favorite remixes right now. It is a submission into Warner Bros. Records Inc. remix competition, which is part of Kimbra’s upcoming album, ‘Vows.’ Kimbra, made extremely famous being featured in Gotye’s ‘Somebody That I Use To Know,’ has an incredible voice. She has the indie stye to her voice, with the power to achieve world peace in it. One of the most important factors to this remix is that TYR & Rodway made sure there was still a lot of emphasis put on her vocals. The remix seems simple, yet it is a work of art at the same time. An incredible job done by the two, I really hope they win the competition.
