THE XX - CRYSTALISED (NOKO REMIX)

RemixKelsey JamesComment

NOKO has done it again! This duo has slowly become one of my favorite groups to anticipate new music from. Their claim to fame kicked off merely three months ago with the release of their remix to San Holo’s “Life Me From the Ground.” The remix is close to 100,000 plays on Soundcloud alone, and their other previous remixes are following a similar route.

Their newest release is a remix to The xxs “Crystalised.” They stay true to the emotions behind the vocals and back it with powerful and equally as emotional synths, giving new life to almost 10 year old song. NOKO have the ability to tackle a song that people haven’t listened to in ages and effortlessly revitalize it.

Later this summer, the two have some original music in store, with their debut EP to follow.

ALESSIA CARA - OUT OF LOVE (DEVAULT REMIX)

Music, RemixSara NatkinsComment

First off, I’d like to sincerely apologize for not getting to this one sooner. LA-based DEVAULT absolutely crushes his freshly released remix of Alessia Cara’s emotive pop ballad, “Out Of Love”. The rising artist sets the theme using his signature retro brand. He infuses the original with nostalgic 80’s synths and energizing riffs that produce an incredible chemistry with Alessia’s passionate lyrics.

To better describe the track’s vibe as vividly as possible, envision yourself cruising down the Pacific Coast Highway on a cloudless day. You’re riding in a convertible, top down with the wind whipping around you, and you have absolutely zero worries in the world. Well that’s exactly what you’re going to be picturing the second the chorus kicks in - guaranteed. Highly recommend you listen to this on high quality headphones in order to truly absorb the full affect and I promise, it will leave you speechless.

TWENTY ONE PILOTS - JUMPSUIT (IN BLOOM REMIX)

Remix, MusicSara NatkinsComment

You know that one song you have that makes you feel like you’re the coolest person in the world; when you’re walking down the street, absolutely owning it, and you feel completely invincible? Well, newcomer In Bloom’s latest release fits exactly that bill. The producer challenges Twenty One Pilot’s original “Jumpsuit,” as he puts an incredibly sexy, dark glitch-filled spin on it, and boy does he succeed. To give you some more perspective, imagine if Daft Punk, Justice and the Glitch Mob all had a child- this is exactly what they’d get. In other words, In Bloom’s rendition goes H A R D, and it wouldn’t be surprising in the slightest if this track ended up in every forthcoming festival set. That said, I suggest you crank your speakers up before hitting play on this one.

MISDEED - ALEX KENNON (NINETOES REMIX)

Taylor FayComment

DJ Alex Kennon has readily established himself as one of Europe’s most recognizable names. Since his early days, he’s been drawn to the arts and seems to know no bounds in terms of influence. After studying classical guitar and joining various clubs in Italy, he’s opened countless doors and curated support from steadfast partiers in places not limited to Ibiza, Switzerland, London, and Berlin. With his release of “Misdeed” from Oblack Label, we can see he’s set the tone for countless others; garnering the attention of German producer, Ninetoes. This remix of “Misdeed” builds on the original foundation of Kennon’s approach but elevates the favorite by increasing the tempo and introducing resonating sub tones, paired with mesmerizing synth sweeps. Appearing out of seemingly nowhere, Ninetoes has been gaining recognition from DJ’s such as Carl Cox, Jesse Rose, and Koze.

OUT CAME THE WOLVES - 96 (MIELO REMIX)

Music, RemixSara NatkinsComment

Ever wanted to hear your dream combo of emo and electronic music? Well I have. Chicago-based artist Mielo brings on the nostalgia of the old school screamo and punk music glory days with his brand new remix of “96” by Out Came The Wolves. His brilliant harmonies intertwine almost effortlessly with OCTW’s chords, creating an amalgamation that is nothing short of addicting. With this year’s Warped Tour right around the corner, we couldn't have asked for this track to come at a better time. 

DJ SLIINK - TEXT UR NUMBER (REMIX) FT. (FETTY WAP + DJ ENVY)

Music, RemixSara NatkinsComment

Born and raised in Jersey, I have to admit- there’s nothing I love more than a good ol’, quality Jersey Club record. That said, it was only natural that when I was passed along the legendary DJ Sliink’s latest release, I couldn’t resist sharing its Jersey club greatness with all of you.

Those who are dedicated Fetty Wap fans (like myself) are most likely familiar with his 2017 jaunty single “Text Ur Number,” which had previously credited The Breakfast Club's DJ Envy and Sliink with its initial release. But interestingly enough, the rendition I'm posting here is not a "remix" fundamentally. Rather, this is what was supposed to be the original production of ”Text Ur Number.” But of course, radio couldn’t handle the quick-tempo vocal chops and bouncy, blood-pumping beat behind the latter and put out something that was more “radio-friendly” instead. All I have to say is, I am much more than thankful this OG version was revealed.

JEREMY ZUCKER FT. BLACKBEAR - TALK IS OVERRATED (MANILA KILLA REMIX)

Music, RemixErin MaherComment

When I read the description on this track how this is the start of a new chapter for our boy Manila Killa, I got all the feels! This LA producer has been on the forefront of our little future bass / future pop scene, and now with a new year comes new music and the next step in our journey. His latest remix of "Talk is Overrated" by Jeremy Zucker ft. Backbear is fantastic with that smooth future sound we all love! I'm sure we'll see much more music from this legend in the months to come as well as a new tour - can't wait!

JAMES CURD - GET LOW FT. LIKASTO (BLACK LOOPS REMIX)

Taylor FayComment

Greenskeepers’ legend and seasoned Classic Clan vet, James Curd brings the dirty Chicago House funk in his recently released track “Get Low.” James Curd hit the scene when he was only fifteen, often sneaking into clubs and raves to DJ alongside some of the most respected electronic artists. He’s won the world over with his writing, producing, and ability to create unforgettable parties. Other artists have reworked this Black Loops mix, but this rendition is PURE MAGIC!  The track features vocals from another classic Chicago artist straight from Freak Mode, Likasto. Curd continues to bring G-swing to life with his unique sound and energy behind the decks. He's got all the bases covered, don't miss this one.
