Being from Chicago, I always love to rep Chicago born-and-raised artists. Proppa is a name I had seen on the HypeM charts before so when this track was sent to me, I had to check it out. I also love the original. Such a tune. In this remix, Proppa treats the chill tropical house hit a solid dose of future. The vocal chops and massive synth hits really get me moving. It’s also such a dynamic edit, with a good variety of energy throughout. Nice one Proppa, keep it up.

ZHU - FADED (ORIGAMY REMIX)
Music, RemixCommentEarlier this week it was reported that Porter Robinson had released a remix of ZHU’s ‘Faded’. Shortly after, however, Robinson denied that he had anything to do with it. A little further digging ended in finding the remix on the page of new artist ORIGAMY. With little social media following and only 2 posts on soundcloud there is now a lot of speculation as to who ORIGAMY really is. This remix is incredible, with masterfully distorted vocals, smooth synth vibes and a powerful beat it’s easy to see why people think there must be a high profile producer behind it. The vibe of this remix is awesome, it’s chill but driven at the same time, one might even say it sounds faded. Quite frankly I don’t care who ORIGAMY is as long as they continue to release tracks like this.
FLUME - SAY IT FT. TOVE LO (ILLENIUM REMIX)
Music, RemixCommentI've been going through some pretty tough times lately with my Mom battling cancer - right now she needs 24 hour care, and she is a trooper man .... she's tough. Me, I'm not so tough all the time, and watching her go through this is agony. I turn to music to get through every day - it helps me deal with all the emotions one goes through when watching a loved one endure such a awful disease. If you know anything about me, you know Flume is my world, and my homie Illenium just dropped the most therapeutic remix of "Say It ft. Tove Lo" which happens to be my favorite track from Skin. Not shy to admit this .. but I just burst into tears listening to this one ... it's perfect. It makes me so happy to see an artist like Illenium who we've adamantly supported do such big things - and I feel like I really needed that release. I'm seeing Flume in a few weeks, and I'm sure I'm going to be a mess there as well! Haha! Illenium crushed this! So proud!
SKOTT - PORCELAIN (AWAY REMIX)
Music, RemixCommentScandinavian newcomer Skott, who has only released two songs to date, has enlisted the talents of LA-based producer AWAY for her first official remix. AWAY and I met at rooftop party and I’m glad we stayed in touch. A relative newcomer himself, he has garnered serious traction on his first two remixes of THEY.’s “Motley Crue” and Kiiara’s “Feels”, the latter of which topped the Hype Machine charts. (The former still hit #2). His style is incredible unique. You could call it future bass, future beats, maybe future trap, maybe even future dub, but it’s definitely ahead of its time. Deep echoing powerful synths, wood blocks and other uncommon percussive sounds, snappy trap hi-hats - all present. Speaking on the project he told me "AWAY (Alone With All of You) is a music/art project that represents the emotional void present in all of us. We live in an era where we are more connected than ever, but beneath the surface we often feel alone. With deep-rooted influences in experimental rock and electronica, AWAY’s style is boundless. My focus is to create art that conveys emotion and a connection to a darker truth that most of us often suppress." His take on Skott’s emotional debut single “Porcelain”, which Lorde called “the shit”, may just be his best to date. You’ll definitely want to listen to this one more than once.
MALAA - DIAMONDS (SKITZOFRENIX & JEFF DOUBLEU REMIX)
Music, RemixCommentThe remixes for "Diamonds" by Malaa have dropped, and even tho we think each track is tasty in it's own way - this one caught our ear. Skitzofrenix & Jeff Double have delivered a fantastic ghettohouse version that has both an intense groove and luscious deep house vibe. Last week we also announced a SF date with Malaa on October 13 at The UC Theatre in Berkeley. Tickets are on sale now, and you can swoop them HERE!
L D R U - NEXT TO YOU (THE REMIXES)
Music, RemixCommentOne of the sweetest baby angels I ever met is my homie L D R U. It's been over a year since we've been together - and I am 100% missing his positive vibes and brilliant spirit. 1/2 of OSWLA duo Carmada - this Aussie legend has been crushing the L D R U solo project this year something fierce. With a platinum selling record of "Keeping Score" and a massive tour through Australia - you could say he's winning. He'll be playing some shows in the states on the Slander & NGHTMRE Gud Vibrations tour - however no west coast dates announced yet. The remixes for "Next To You" dropped a few days back via Audiopaxx + Ultra, and they've put up to delicious tracks - a deep house gem by Kyle Watson and a big bass banger by Barely Alive & Virtual Riot. You can swoop these and peep the others via iTunes HERE!
BOEHM - SWALLOW MY PRIDE (VICEROY REMIX)
Music, RemixCommentViceroy has been putting out a ton of excellent remixes and original tracks this year - you could definitely say he's lit! The Sultan of Summer is back with another fun filled indie dance house music gem with his remix of "Swallow My Pride" by Boehm. With bouncy rhythms and and hints of tropical vibes, this one will have you shakin that booty on the dance floor! If you're in the bay area on September 24th - we are welcoming Viceroy to our next silent disco day party with Crossroads - it's a ton of fun and you can swoop tickets HERE!
MARSHMELLO - ALONE (LONDON BRIDGE FESTIVAL REMIX)
Music, RemixCommentLately the EDM community has been put to the test - for many of us life has thrown some curve balls and the coping/recovering process has been tough. From battles with cancer (hang in there Mom) to unexpected death (RIP Big Makk) - I think I am safe to say we all feel it right now. A few weeks back house music producer and fellow promoter homie LondonBridge was in a car accident - hit by someone texting and driving! Thankfully he's alright and recovering nicely - but left with a broken knee. This weekend he is missing 2 festival gigs because of his injury and even thow he is thankful to be alive and staying positive on socials - it's still a bummer. Today I wanna send massive love to LondonBridge to let him know I'm behind him 100% - and you guys should too! The one thing about this community is that when times are tough, we come together and support each other, more than any other music community I've been associated with other the years. It's a beautiful thing! Check out his remix of "Alone" by Marshmello and grab a free download HERE!
