[Listen] The One AM Radio - "Everything Falls Apart" (Slow Magic Remix)
From one ambient producer to another, the ever-enigmatic Slow Magic has shown his love for Hrishikesh Hirway's musical project The One AM Radio by remixing his song "Everything Falls Apart", a highlight from last year's Heaven Is Attached By A Slender Thread. The remix turns the song into a flowing, airy dreamscape, with birds chirping in the distance and wavy synths and complex percussion engrossing you in the song. Stream it below (via SoundCloud).
[Download] The xx - "Angels" (Mirrors Remix)
When taking a great song and trying to remix it and add your own unique touch you can't just add a few extra beats and say voilá. Well you can but chances are it'll suck. Now take a song from The xx that is very minimal straight off the bat and you have a challenge on your hands to not ruin its integrity. Mirrors steps up to the occasion on this remix of "Angels", the lead single from Coexist, and delicately adds a few subtle beats and makes the bass more prominent. Nothing too heavy, just enough to make you take note. Grab the download below and let us know what you think. (Via Hypetrak)
[Listen] Of Monsters and Men - "Little Talks" (Passion Pit Remix)
Passion Pit are absolutely everywhere at the moment leading up to their new album's release,Gossamer, heck just yesterday we go to see their funky looking visuals for "I'll Be Alright". Today we get more from their camp in the shape of a remix they've done for Of Monsters and Men's track "Little Talks" adding in some dancey beats to the track. Check out the remix below and be sure to pick up PP's new album when it drops next week on July 24th via Columbia Records.
[Listen] Bloc Party - "Octopus" (RAC Remix)
RAC has a knack for taking songs with seemingly non-pop veneers and exposing the catchy, hook-laden layer beneath, and he has done just that for Bloc Party's frantic post-punk track "Octopus". The result is a catchy-as-hell remix that deserves a listen, if not several more. Check it out below.
[Listen] Slaughterhouse - "Hammer Dance" (El-P Remix)
As I debate on drinking vodka before noon our buddies over at Stereogum drop the craziest bombshell of the day consisting of an El-P remix of rap supergroup Slaughterhouse's (Joe Budden, Royce Da 5'9", Crooked I and Joell Ortiz) latest single "Hammer Dance." This remix, as much of El's track record to date (see: Killer Mike's R.A.P. Music and Cancer 4 Cure), fuckin bangs harder than...I had to stop that sentence because i'm pretty sure it was leading to something inappropriate. But trust me, Slaughterhouse x El-P, WOULD YOU REALLY WANT TO MISS OUT ON SOME AMAZING HIP HOP? Didn't think so.
Peep the stream of the remix below. Slaughterhouse's Shady Record's debut Welcome To: Our House drops next month on August 28th. Make sure you pick it up. Now back to this vodka.
