TWENTY ONE PILOTS - THE JUDGE (CROIX FLIP)

Music, RemixNathan ThostComment

Sitting in my coastal bubble, when i think of Ohio i think of sports prowess and flyover country. Needless to say Cleveland based producer Croix has forced me to reevaluate this bias. Croix's remix of 21 Pilot's "The Judge" beefs up the hipster classic and makes it dance-floor-ready just in time for winter, adding to the steady flow of tracks to keep us warm while we wait for spring.

RemixErin MaherComment

My day today is totally bananas! I think I got too into my Thanksgiving break and forgot that I have one million things to do all the time ... but that's work, and holy crap my work makes me happy! Like this track for example, for my work it's my responsibility to find great artists like The Knocks years ago and write about their jams on BB and throw parties with them in multiple cities to support them on their rise to greatness!  DONE!  And then there is yung Manila Killa from that Moving Castle crew whom we've been swooning over and supporting from day one it seems, and are now watching and helping him find his way to greatness as well!  This is my job as Rave Nanny, to throw parties, write about, take care of and love amazing emerging artist - how is this real life?  Manila Killa crushed this remix of "Heat" by my babies The Knocks ... get on it!

DRAKE - TOO GOOD (A&G REMIX) [VERONICA COVER]

Cover, Music, RemixEricComment

Some people may have contrary opinions, but I personally love the trend of vocalist cover remixes of hit tracks. It has the ability to re-energize a sometimes overplayed radio tune and showcase some rising talent. This is just the case here with A&G's remix of Veronica's cover of Drake's "Too Good." This tropical jam may be hitting your ears with snow coming down outside, but regardless it should take you away to a bright and sunny place. Andrew and Gino (aka A&G) are definitely infusing their hometown of Miami into this piano laden bobbing record full of upbeat stabs, fun melodies and a grooving vox chop chorus that's going to sweep you off to that far away beach. Veronica's cover (found here) showcases her sweet take on the original and this remix definitely expands on that foundation. You can stream on Spotify here and download for free here.

MOONZZ - COME AROUND (NIKÖ BLANK REMIX)

Music, RemixEricComment

Man the fantastic rabbit hole of MOONZz remixes just keeps getting deeper and deeper. I know it seems like we post a lot of MOONZz tunes, but with remixes like Nikö Blank's how could you not! Dive into this juicy and orchestral take on "Come Around." Nikö starts the record with layers of beautiful harps, pads, strings and piano creating a mystical sonic landscape that further enhances the hushed intensity of original's chord progression. In a sweep you off your feet build we're brought into a pumping future bass drop that's as hype as it is relieving. I say relieving merely because by the time we're finally brought up into those jump around chorus highs it feels soo completely right. Nikö did a tremendous job with both the sound design and arrangement of this remix incorporating lots of different synths, vox chops, percussion and even TRUMPETS. This one definitely deserves your attention. You can stream on Spotify here or download this tune for free right here.
