Whenever we get a message from Drew and Alex of The Chainsmokers we instantly think to ourselves: 1. This email will be hilarious (as they have an uncharacteristic sense of humor) and 2. The music they just sent us will be top-notch and epic sound to our ears. Well we were right about both, and their remix to Say Lou Lou’s “Julian” brings total joy even through my 10th time listening to it.
The guys wanted to focus on delivering an upbeat summer anthem all the while sticking to Say Lou Lou’s renegade yet soft vocals. The end result is amazingly beautiful and absolutely worth the free download below. I’m enjoying this new direction The Chainsmokers have been moving in lately sticking to a more serious sound than just party anthem remixes. Bravo guys!

Nothing like a 9 minute melody by PIGEON to Daft Punk’s greatest hits to get you excited for the release of Random Access Memories. The guys wanted to take all Daft Punk enthusiasts through a nostalgic journey covering 6 songs in just 9 minutes. In this melody you can expect to hear PIGEON’s versions to “One More Time”, “Around the World”, “Da Funk”, Robot Rock”, “Aerodynamic”, and “Harder Better Faster Stronger”.
What truly amazes me is how closely they get to sounding like the original music. If you listen to just the audio below you may think someone did a great job editing all studio recordings by Daft Punk, but if you watch the video (which we highly suggest you do) you have proof that these guys are legit and true Daft Punk fans. Enjoy!
The LA based band Smallpools is gaining steam and fast. A few hours ago I spotted these guys at 50 on Hypem and at the time of writing this they skyrocketed to 21. Their debut song “Dreaming” is fresh, catchy and uplifting and even though we typically shy away from this genre of music, there is no doubt most of you will enjoy this. Grab the download and jump on the Smallpools bandwagon before everyone else quickly discovers them. Enjoy!
Dubby hit us up earlier today with a new track that shows appreciation to his Team Loko crew with a southern style beat. Dubby goes hard demonstrating his talents when it comes to laying a dope verse and belting out some vocals. You can find featured artists Reese Mitchell and 2Saint joining Dubby with two equally impressive verses. Grab the free download, roll down your windows, and cruise around town bumping to this. Enjoy
Leave it to The Golden Pony to do justice to all the Daft Punk remixes coming in. Adding a nu-disco-esque beat to “Doin’ It Right”, the Brocklyn duo transforms the song into a summertime good feel song. So far this is one of my favorite remixes from the album, but I am sure you will hear me say that a few more times as more Daft Punk remixes surface.
Almost a year ago Archie & Fareoh collaborated with one-another to released their banger “Feathers“. The track featured an unbelievable melody that stuck in my head for weeks, but their was one thing missing, and that was vocals. Thanks to Swedish producer mikeH we now have vocals to accompany this epic track. mikeH uses Jason Derulo’s ”The Other Side” to bring everything together and it works perfectly. You wont find me complaining that this song is stuck in my head again, that’s for sure.
With trap music finally making a presence within mainstream music, we have an incredible trap remix by LA duo Slander. Taking on Calvin Harris’ “Awooga”, the guys create a track that is filled with heavy drops and twists that a true trap fan could appreciate. Grab the free download now and bump to this.
