Summer Jams

KID CUDI - MAN ON THE MOON (NOKO REMIX)

RemixKelsey JamesComment

The LA-based electronic duo NOKO is back and this time, with their remix of the classic Kid Cudi track “Man On The Moon.” NOKO has been on my radar since their last remix release, which was also their debut, to San Holo’s “Lift Me From the Ground.” It’s tough to take on such a timeless track like this one, yet somehow the two do it and do it well. This future bass re-imagining is a nostalgic, yet new, exploration: a take that something both fans of Kid Cudi and electronic music can appreciate.

After this remix, the two have some originals in store for fans this summer. For now, give “Man On The Moon” a listen and soak up the almost summer vibes.

SLANDER - SUPERHUMAN FEAT. ERIC LEVA (PAPERWINGS REMIX)

Music, RemixAlli LindseyComment

Almost exactly one month ago, I wrote a piece on Slander's "Superhuman" ft. Eric Leva. Calling it "a testament to the theory of EDM diversity" while taking careful notice of "the inclusion of subtle, yet striking brass instruments [that] defines 'Superhuman' as its own distinct track." One month, and one day later I am pleased to share with our BB friends, the Paperwings remix of Superhuman. L.A-based producers, a twosome, Paperwings stated that their remix, "is something a little chiller than our other songs." A Soundcloud claim that is definite, but ambiguous regarding key details. But, that's what we're here for. The remix is affably outspoken, distinct from the original track, yet remains respectful and mindful of the OG composition. The dimension added by Paperwings is cheeky and bright, bubbly and friendly- more romance. There is a gentleness added to the flip, an audible representation of a smile. The large, spacey bass structures are still present with a film of higher, more rapid frequencies atop. In and of itself, the remix is cinematic and bold. Check out the vibe! 

TOUGH LOVE - TOUCH (TOBTOK REMIX)

Music, RemixEricComment

Gonna keep the weekend jams coming at you with this new remix from our homie Tobtok! Taking his summery disco house skills to reworking Tough Love's fantastic single "Touch Ft. Arlissa," Tobtok fires away with spritely piano work, light tropical synth melodies and snappy percussion combining for a total feel good record that's perfect for any time, moment or setting. Summer jams for days!
