ALLEN FRENCH - NOVA VIDA (MOTEZ REMIX)

Music, RemixAlli LindseyComment

Nova vida. It means "new life" in Portuguese. Allen French's Nova Vida is a worldly, poetic track combining the sounds of cultures from all over the world, with a pronounced emphasis on Latin style tempos. Baghdad born, and Australia residing producer, Motez, just gave the sexy track a distinct, almost dark remedy. From 2:40-4:00 there is an avid, spooky, whispering production that pulls you in just before the apex of the track possesses you with burning desire to close your eyes, and move your hips. Motez just flipped this single into something house music has never seen before. It's a call to cultural unity through sultry production, and dark, conspicuous piano riffs. Despite the language barrier between myself and the lyrics, I can still feel the powerful message behind them, quite distinctly (with a little help from Google translate).

"Castles of gold
Line in the sand
In my dreams
I like the riches
Fear and death
Life and faith
And our destiny
Let's go to a new life"

Brb, going to learn Portuguese. In all seriousness this remix is enchanting, walking the line of fantastic- I truly think Motez just added a new dimension to house music. Get inspired with Motez's Nova Vida remix on Spotify...now. 

BASTILLE - GLORY (YOUNG BOMBS REMIX)

Music, RemixAlli LindseyComment

2013 was a big year for the British indie-rock band, Bastille. The release of their single "Pompeii" topped charts for months to come post-release. While I personally feared the ensemble would hit a one-hit-wonder wall, the band continues to impress critics such a myself with outstanding new music, while dominating worldwide performances. The release of their sophomore album, "Wild World" in June of 2016 was, undoubtedly, a hit. This album included their acclaimed single, "Glory." While the track is a stand alone testament to the possessive cadence Bastille continuously showcases, Vancouver-based duo, Young Bombs, flipped "Glory" into a tropical house gem. Their remix defies your average house resonance by using a tempo that appears to rise and fall simultaneously. This Young Bombs remix is fitting for a dance party, but avoids hectic, overwhelming production and drops. It is chopped and syncopated subtly, yet showcases the complexity and musical intricacy that defines its greatness. The long haired duo turned Glory into an easy, summery listen, with little to critique and so much to revere. Get beachy with this coastal remix from Young Bombs on both SoundCloud and Spotify

TWO FRIENDS - KYLE FT. LIL YACHTY - ISPY (TWO FRIENDS REMIX)

Music, RemixAlli LindseyComment

Back in December 2016, two rising hip hop stars, KYLE and Lil Yachty teamed up to drop the radio sensation, "iSpy." You know, the pop-rap banger where 24 year old KYLE celebrates his ability to wife up a honey who doesn't get much social media interaction. It's decent. Definitely plays over and over (and over, and over, and over, and..) in your head. But, Two Friends just dropped a remix for the the bubbly track, giving it the classically funky treatment it needed. Two Friends is composed of, you guessed it, two friends based in L.A., Matt Halper and Eli Sones. The duo, formerly high school "bedroom producers," is not new to executing remixes for radio-popular songs, Two Friends even put their own spin on The Killers' "Mr. Brightside," which became a viral splash in the EDM community. This particular remix of "iSpy" is brassy, funky, and simply enough, fun. They took the established "party vibe" of the original track, added some jazz fusion ingredients, and out came a vibrant, effervescent remix that we didn't even know we needed. The remix is a Soundcloud summer blockbuster. It's just, happy. I am all about the indie-electronic, down tempo, romantic reverb, but there is really nothing like capturing the energy of a day-party and translating it into a song. Two Friends is proving that they are more than deserving of their 23 #1 spots on Hype Machine. Get jiggy with this new track, not because Beautiful Buzzz told you to, but because the hype is just totally real. Plus, they're like, super cute.

THE M MACHINE - TALKING MACHINE (WAVEDASH REMIX)

Music, RemixEricComment

I've got an explorative genre bending remix here from Austin's WAVEDASH. The trio said that The M Machine's "Metropolis EP" was a huge influence for them (they're definitely not the only ones), and the opportunity to do an official remix was a truly exciting prospect: "Remixing ‘Talking Machine’ has not only been fun and inspiring, but has allowed us to move in a different creative direction than what we have showcased with our previous releases. Thank you to Mad Zoo and The M Machine, we're so thankful to be apart of such an amazing release.” Cinematic, jarring, eccentric, all the while mind blowing. Definitely dive into this one. You can listen on Spotify here

My favorite teenage wonderkid producer is back with another sweet jam that's giving me all the fees!

Now DNMO handed us his version of "Knock Me Down ft. Elayna Boynton" by MAKJ and Max Styler that is totally delicious!
