Who doesn’t love a good switch up? Norwegian producer, Kygo has been garnering some serious attention since his 2014 release, “Firestone.” With over 560 million streams as of August 2017, he’s no stranger to international recognition. San Francisco producer, Justice Skolnik effortlessly reworks this crowd favorite with unique manner and energetic tempo. The up-and-coming producer takes a hybrid approach to dance music, while remaining true to Kygo’s tropical house feel. Skolnik has been building a repertoire remixing other classics including Flume’s 2012, “Sleepless” and Kanye West’s 2007, “Good Life” making him one of the artists to watch in 2018.
REMIX
TROYBOI - FLAMEZ (ALEXANDER LEWIS)
Music, RemixCommentYou can just tell when it's Alexander Lewis laying on them thick bass vibes - he's got a sound all his own and we love it! Our trombone wielding friend is back with a siick new remix of "Flamez" by TroyBoi and y'all brace yourselves coz this one is HUGE! I'm all about throwing the trap arms in the office right now ... my assistant can't stop laughing! I can't wait to hear this one in the club. Swoop a free download HERE!
LANA DEL REY & THE WEEKND - LUST FOR LIFE (VALENTINE & ROB ARAUJO REMIX)
Music, RemixCommentI have one rule- don't remix Zeppelin. Anyone, and anything else is up for grabs, but that doesn't mean it's an easy feat. For example, America's ultimate sad girl, Lana Del Rey...not easy to flip. Her charmingly smoky vocals, and avant-garde depression- it works. But Moving Castle's Valentine, and multi-instrumentalist Rob Araujo tackled a Lana remix with a swift swagger. The original track, "Lust For Life" featuring The Weeknd just got a chrome makeover, and a taste of the future. Light up your square, Lana, it's impressive. The co-remix heeds elements of future bass, glitch funk, and uses bouncy production to hollow out a landscape for Lana, and The Weeknd's grammy award winning vocals to continue to shine. This track goes up, down, and side to side yet remains strictly, and intentionally composed. This "Lust For Life" remix is far out enough to be the future of indie-electronic, and approachable enough to remind you of the most witchy woman in the game right now.
TUNJI IGE & ILOVEMAKONNEN - DON'T DO TOO MUCH (CAVALIER REMIX)
Music, RemixCommentWhen this young producer took the stage at our SXSW day party this year, things got heated - in a good way! Cavalier brought his heavy trap sound full force to a crowded room, and we loved every minute! This week he drops his latest fire with new remix "Don't Do Too Much" by Tunji Ige & ILOVEMAKONNEN, and it's kicking off my morning will all that delicious low end! Yummy!
KODAK TO GRAPH - IAMANTHEM (COM TRUISE REMIX)
Music, RemixCommentBoth of these legends are now veterans of the Beautiful Buzzz SXSW party, which means they are part of our family! When I saw this track come up, I pretty much jumped for joy! Com Truise might be the raddest dude on the planet - and his sound is something completely original! His spin on "IAMANTHEM" by our new homie Kodak To Graph is delicious! You can download the whole remix EP HERE! Get on that kids!
FYFE - SOLACE (L C A W REMIX)
CommentThis is like, the best thing I have heard all week!! I am totally obsessed with this youngster, can't get enough ever! Why are the German's killing the game lately - seems like I can't swing a cat with out hitting a rad German producer in the head - and I am now totally wondering if these German producers will get that figure of speech I just dropped! Haha!! L C A W just made all my dreams come true with this gorgeous remix of "Solace" by Fyfe! There is something wrong with you if you don't like this track! Get into it kids!
NICKI MINAJ - TRUFFLE BUTTER (FIGGY REMIX)
Music, RemixCommentWell .... Figgy does it again. For those of you who know me, you know that I love Figgy and everything he does. He manages to take songs I hate and turn them into the best thing I have ever heard. It's like his vibe is so on point with mine - he finds the perfect combination of groove and sex and chill and funk and all things amazing in the world, and wraps them up in a pretty little package of disco house love, just for me!! This new remix of "Truffle Butter" by Nicki Minaj is insanely good, and you can grab it as a free download! My recent hangs with Figgy solidified our bond - now were super buds - not only is he amazingly talented but he's also a pretty great person to boot! Get into this kids!
EKKAH - LAST CHANCE TO DANCE (GOLDROOM REMIX)
MusicCommentBritish superbabes Ekkah have recruited fellow superbabe, Goldroom, for their latest remix. Ekkah's Last Chance to Dance was amazing in its own right, but Goldroom adds his signature tropical disco goodness to take it to the next level. The end result is a complete dance floor banger. If this song is truly your last chance to dance, we can guarantee the party will go bananas.
