DUM REMIXES


The Martin Brothers have been remixed skillfully here in both tracks, best in my opinion though is the deliciously dark Nat Self mix.

HEADS WE DANCE


Highly recommending this Heads We Dance remix by Russ Chimes, he implements his usual dreamy synths and builds alongside catchy vocals, Tepr also shakes things up on 'Love In The Digital Age'.

TIGA



Tiga's showing no signs of fading out, sounding fierce on this new collaboration with Chromeo. On his world tour at the moment Tiga will be in London and Birmingham next month, for venues click here.

ALEX METRIC




Alex Metric's take on 'Stylo' is the most interesting i've heard so far, creating an upbeat flow of synth and sax.

EDWARD SHARPE & THE MAGNETIC ZEROS


I could listen to this remix, and the original of this track forever and a day. Beautiful. Buy Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros album 'Up From Below' here

NROTB


NROTB's 'Droplet' has been huge since last year becoming a big room anthem, in these tracks we hear the carnival influence as well as the dark basslines of his other productions.



FIVE DECADES LATER



No need for much talking here, these tracks speak for themselves.

JUMP JUMP DANCE DANCE


Jump Jump Dance Dance's  'Show Me The Night' is given the right treatment in this remix by one of the best producers out there, Grum. The American Dream Team remix of 'Woah' is also a destroyer.






PENGUIN PRISON

Penguin Prison's 'Something I'm Not' reminds me of the works of Fever Ray, which is definitely a good thing. Abstract percussion patterns and choppy rhythms work well, similar to the Jack Penate remix


BONJAY


Sticking with the dancehall vibe, Bonjay's incessently catchy 'Gimmee Gimmee' is set to be in everyones heads in the next few months.

TODDLA T



Toddla T's funky feel remixes only get better and better, his rework of Lady Chann's 'Sticky Situation' builds up nicely to a heavy drop of drums and bouncy fidget. Also check his make over of 'Meddle'



YES GIANTESS


Yes Giantess have been busy lately, but its proving to be a good thing. The remix of 'She Don't Wanna Man' is guiltily good, it will bury itself in your brain whether you like it or not. 'Demons' has some uplifting synths and melody work.


DAFT PUNK REMIXES


Everyday comes with a new Daft Punk remix or cover, these two are great examples of how to do them well. The Glamour cover is exceptionally nice listening. The remix of 'Rollin' and Scratchin' has some mean and catchy piano instrumentals, good work by Chilly Gonzales. Click here for a link to download his 'Pianist Envy' full mixtape for free that includes reworks of Busta Rhymes and Claude Von Stroke




KARTELL


This track from currently (but probably not for much longer) unsigned Kartell is pure sunshine. 'Get down' and get ready for summer with this retro house.

HARVARD BASS


'81' is a monster of a track with a non stop pounding bassline coupled with an eardrum piercing treble, must be played at high volume. The Harvard Bass remix of 'Lightworks' contains equally dangerous content.
