WAYWARD LOVE JONES

We found out about Wayward a few days ago and have been hooked on this Leeds duo's infectious melodies and killer vocals. Their new single Love Jones is trendy enough to be current, yet still holds a unique corner in the genre with a mix of lounge and throwback vocals that culminate in this tropical-dance-pump-up jam that I am sure you'll have in your head for days to come.  The single is out December 2 on Aesop Records so be sure to check it out!

SAN CISCO FRED ASTAIRE JOYWAVE REMIX

I've been hooked on Joywave ever since their track Tounges ft. Kopps came out. They're unpredictable and ever changing with their sound and they nail it every time. Seriously. The light pop single from Aussie's San Cisco has been transformed into a dark, experimental house remix that you could watch drip down some walls like tar compared to some of this summer's mixes and it's AWESOME. I love what's been coming out summer-style wise, but when you stumble upon something like this it's like a breath of fresh air. Stay weird Joywave, I'm loving it.

PETER & THE MAGICIAN ON MY BRAIN CRAYON REMIX

Le Crayon takes a space lounge approach to Peter & The Magician's On My Brain and damn did Le Crayon hit the sweet spot or what! Super chill with lot's of toned down synth and a deep bass that makes you feel a little cooler while you listen to it.  It's just awesome ok?

SOMETHING SILENT RICKI LAKE

NYC duo RJ Ferguson and David Brook aka Something Silent tear it up with their first single Ricki Lake.  I could describe it with all the usual generic terms : upbeat! energetic!, but I feel like that would be doing this track a disservice. It's a crazy awesome mix of disco dance sounds and cut up vocals that just explodes a quarter way through. Just try not to like it. I dare you.

KILL PARIS FALLING IN LOVE AGAIN FT. MARTY ROD & ALMA

A huge favorite of ours, L.A. based Kill Paris, is out with a new track called Falling In Love Again Featuring Marty Rod and Alma. It's a great mix of 90's R&B throwback vocals mixed with this signature chillstep-mixed-with-disco elements sound. It's like that mix of guilty pleasure radio lyrics (complete with sprinkles of "oh girl") and a kick-ass sound.

MARLENA SHAW WOMAN OF THE GHETTO FLUME'S JACKIN HOUSE MIX

Flume's latest work, a remix of the great Marlena Shaw's Woman Of The Ghetto for the Verve Remixed: The First Ladies dips just a bit into the breadth of this producer's talent.  Hot off of his release for Disclosure's You & Me Flume has become quite a force. His approach in terms of style and genre seems to be that he finds what works best for the track, instead of forcing a certain style upon it. His remixes then seem like a no brainer, a type of "of course this is what compliments that track" mentality.

Woman Of The Ghetto has a pounding bass that will unquestionably get you moving, but is by no means heavy handed. The subtle organ track that comes in around a minute in is the highlight of this track for me. It hold all the emphasis and just creeps in and out of the spotlight throughout the overall track. Excellent sampling work too, Shaw's vocals stand pure and the music just falls into place around it. Bravo.

MOULLINEX TO BE CLEAR RAC REMIX

We over here at HS love it when RAC (André Allen Anjos) does a remix of a less mainstream song. Case in point with his latest remix of Moullinex's To Be Clear. Punchy synth layers and James Bond-esque vocals lead the way on this one. Maybe not quite a dance track, but a great amp-you-up-while-you-walk-down-the-street jam. It out on the latest Discotexas Records compilation, Discotexas Picnic II. RAD.

FOALS BAD HABIT ALEX METRIC REMIX

Alex metric is at it again! This time with a remix if Foals' Bad Habit. It's a tight and banging remix utilizing frontman Yannis Philippakis' voice and backing them up with some great tropical marimba midlines and a kicking bass. It's apparent that Metric is truely a pro at this, placing breaks and builds at all the right points. An excellent contribution to the indie electro genre. I'm mean really, it's freaking on point.

NICOLAS JAAR LIVE AT SONAR 2012

I want to write/ find new music but I just.can't.stop.listening to this Sonar Lab session for Nicolas Jaar. I do not care that it is from 2012. Also, after listening to it a million times you will start to feel like friends with the voice over gentleman and his thick Spanish accent. You will begin to only pronounce Nicolas Jaar's name the way he does.

If you have no attention span (no judgement I typically fall into that boat) cut right to minute 18 and listen for five minutes at what might be the greatest intro to drop combos I've ever heard.

PHEONIX TRYING TO BE COOL EDWIN VAN CLEEF REMIX

Ready for another summer jam? Not normally a fan of Phoenix, this remix takes them to a whole new level. Van Cleef speeds it up considerably and adding some great poppy synth touches and a great beat  to back up the vocals. He really transforms this into something great.

COMPUPHONIC FT. MARQUES TOLIVER SUNSET AEROPLANE REMIX

So this got buried in the drafts and it has recently made a resurgence in my regular playlist. It's catchy as all hell and just grooves. Sick 80s breaks and synth beats. You will love it. Break it break it down on the dance floor. DUH.

GRIZ YOU GOT TO CHANGE

So this one time Santana made this chill ass song and then this Detroit dude who goes by GRiZ got his magic hands on it and made even better. It's nothing new, but I'm almost positive you haven't heard it before.

Go ahead and indulge yourself too with his 2pac/James Brown sex-up (new word for hella sexy remix). This post is basically one huge summer DUH. Just dig right on in on it.

THE PASSENGERS LET HER GO PEER KUSIV REMIX

While this came out in December (ancient I know), it's still a fantastic track and well worth a listen. German producer Peer Kusiv reworks The Passengers' indie-folk single Let Her Go beautifully. It's simple and pretty. He draws the acoustic sounds of the original out and adds a nice minimal touch that embellishes the track rather than over powering it.  This rings back a bit to an earlier post we did on Fennec & Wolf's edit of The Lumineers Stubborn Love.

ALEX METRIC SCANDALISM

Here's UK producer Alex Metric's new track Scandalism off of his latest EP, Ammunition Pt. 3. Scandalism shows us a lesser known side of Metric, and wins as my favorite track of the bunch hands down. It's a disco flavored joyride and it totally rocks. Honorable mention goes out to Want Ya off of the same EP (link to stream the EP below)!

AARON SMITH DANCIN KRONO REMIX

Awesome remix of Aaron Smith's 1994 hit Dancin! Parisian duo KRONO do an insane job of adding their french touch to this one, bringing out the best the track has and toning it the eff down into a laid back dance track. Seriously I cannot believe the difference between this version and the original. It's just so good.

It basically took all of my self control not to just post their whole SoundCloud (link below) page on here. Super worth it to go over there and just hit 'play'.

TRÉSORS PLEINE LUNE ANORAAK REMIX

Frédéric Rivière, aka Anoraak brings us this nice remix of Trésors "Pleine Lune." It's like new wave electro-pop for 2013. A kickin bass synth line that builds and builds and sounds like a car driving scene out of a movie totally makes this remix for me. Grab the free download below!

GHOST BEACH TOO YOUNG PENGUIN PRISON REMIX

NYC electro pop producer Penguin Prison does some exceptional work on this remix of Ghost Beach's 'Too Young'. This remix is just the latest off of the freshly released Modern Tongues Remix EP. It features just enough grit to balance out the dancy melody and adds some sweet sweet synth surprises to the breakdown towards the end. Basically there are handclaps involved so you should probably like it. NUF SAID.
