I’ve seen a lot of talk lately about Kygo signing to Sony. Some congratulated, some even claimed this was the beginning of the end. It’s incredible to me that fans, or people who claim to be, wouldn’t want to see their favorite artist progress. Fans don’t understand how hard it is to make a living in this music scene. The barriers to entry are higher then they’ve ever been. What Kygo has done is unprecedented, yet fans have this ill-informed notion that Sony is going ruin his brand. Sure, major labels are notorious for messing up an artist’s brand. We’ve seen many artists (sadly) come and go because they signed. Kygo, and his team, are too smart to let that happen. Kygo is going to be just fine.

Electronic, Mainstream Remix, Pop | Melanie Martinez — Dollhouse (One Love Remix)

In the not-too-distant past, the production that a rapper could obtain while still positioning themselves as independent artists wasn’t all that important. It was trendy — largely because of Lil Wayne’s Dedication series — for artists to recycle industry beats, and thus they didn’t necessarily need high-quality original production to fuel a career. That tendency has shifted, though, and most successful startups in this market have at least one reliable instrumentalist whose work helps them define their sound. Few, if any, are as gifted and as significant in shaping their overall sound as One Love—best-known as the production half of Kinetics & One Love.

Since K&1L’s critically acclaimed You Are Not Alone released in 2012, One Love has produced for a number of Atlantic Records’ talents, including Neon Hitch and—most recently—Melanie Martinez. Today he’s released his first official remix, to Melanie Martinez’s new single, “Dollhouse”—a song he originally produced as well. While the primary version has accrued over two million views on YouTube already, One Love has utilized the strengths of Melanie’s vocals and reconstructed the darker-themed beat into a summer smash. The increased BPM, coruscating synths, and added melodic qualities of the production entirely change the listening experience, while retaining the meaning of its original. Check out the track below, and follow One Love using the links below.

I didn’t care for the original. However, Disclosure try their hand at Usher’s “Good Kisser” with moderately impressive results. I liked the “Frontin'” remix better, but I’ll take new Disclosure as I get it. Perhaps they’ve set the bar so high musically that I’m being too tough on them. That might be the case, but it’s our job to call it like we see it. Regardless, it still smells like a label induced remix to us.

LAWD HAVE MERCY. This remix is the cat’s meow. I didn’t think I could like Pharrell’s “Happy” any more than I already did then NEUS comes along and just smashes it with that super-psychadelic funky vibe. TABERNACLE! HOLY WATER! SANCTUARY! Wash me in the blessings of NEUS’s musical forgiveness.
