CRYWOLF & IANBORG OCEANS

A bit like: Seven Lions, Adventure Club

While I can't say I'm crazy into dubstep, this track by Justin Phillips aka Crywolf (previously part of the duo "Cry Wolf") and Ianborg delivers without being too heavy handed in the genre. A little bit dubstep, a little bit euphoric synth and melody; I can hang.  His album, Ghosts comes out on Always Never in April.

FRANK OCEAN PINK MATTER MANIK SKELETON REWORK

Not new by any means, but definitly worth noting. New York producer Manik's rework of Frank Ocean's "Pink Matter" is making the rounds. Nice and easy with a soulful, chill undertone added.

STEFAN BINIAK THE READ ALL ABOUT IT BOOTLEG

Stefan Biniak manages to completely transform Emelie Sande's original version of this track. Very Cyril Hahn in his vocals, but with amazing additions to the melody and beat. Definitely on the cheesy side lyrics-wise, but well worth a listen. Check out/download more from the Berlin producer on his Facebook page.

LEMÂITRE CONTINUUM

Sounds like: What you wish Madeon was, couch jumping, summer. 

This duo from Oslo hits it just in time for spring with their new track Continuum. From the looks of their soundcloud this is the first track they've put out in the new year, and I hope there are more to come. Super easy listen. LOVE.

MONTELL JORDAN - THIS IS HOW WE DO IT (VICEROY "JET LIFE" REMIX)

FUCK YEAH FRIDAY!

Let's begin by aknowledging that you cannot beat the original. It transcends all that is awesome and its genre holds a sweet spot in my 90's heart. That being said, San Francisco based Viceroy, Mr. "Summertime, all the time", kills it with the update of this classic. Enjoy.

MOUILLINEX DARKEST NIGHT XNOBI REMIX

I've been thinking of this Xinobi ever since I heard his Nicholas Jaar edit  (BONUS DOWNLOAD). Even Xinobi was quoted saying:

“This was one of my most challenging works so far because I still feel the original as a “non-touchable” masterpiece.”

OWLLE DISORDER MOONLIGHT MATTERS REMIX

I can't say that I had heard of Moonlight Matters before this track but he is well on my radar now. MM wins on this track combining the best bits and vocals of the French Owlle's original with an amazing textured synth sound. I've had this on repeat for about week now and can't get enough.
