[Listen] Danny Brown - "Grown Up" (ATG Remix)
Danny Brown's "Grown Up" is up there as one of the best hip-hop tracks of the year, with a smooth delivery from Brown and a simplistic, throwback production style courtesy of Party Supplies. ATG changes things up quite a bit in his remix of the song, axing the old school production for an echoey sound and more complex instrumentation. In the end, the producer's changes actually work surprisingly well. Stream it below.
[Listen] Mayer Hawthorne - "No Strings" (RAC Remix)
Whenever RAC puts his efforts into a remix, the result is almost always fantastic. What is even more impressive, though, is his ability to create something fun and danceable no matter the source material. Tackling Mayer Hawthorne's "No Strings", RAC puts an incredibly funky spin on the soulful stylings of Hawthorne, a welcome fit that is the perfect way to start off the week. Stream and download the remix below, and head here to stream all six remixes from Hawthorne's just-released How Do You Do Remixes EP.

[Watch & Download] Citizens! - "True Romance" (Official Video) x Gildas Kitsuné Club Night Remix
Dear friends, if you have been running out of ideas of crazy places where you and your lover can make out, Citizens! have compiled quite a few of them in their video for their latest single, "True Romance", which is off of their recent album Here We Are. I don't know why, but about halfway into the video all I could think of was describing the scenes in Dr. Seuss-esque speak: "You can make out on a car You can make out in a bar. You can make out in a store. You can make out on the floor. You can make out all intense. You can make out through a fence." But seriously though, the imagery of people being passionate in chaotic places is incredbly sweet. It's not surprising that the inpiration came from the couple kissing during the Vancouver riots.
If you're like me and can't get enough of "True Romance" now, you can download this fun remix from Kitsuné’s very own Gildas Loaec.
"True Romance" is now available on Kitsuné.

[News] Chapel Club Launch Unique Remix Project
Last year we saw Chino Moreno's project Crosses urge fans to remix their music. This year we have something in a similar vein yet also a little different at the same time. Chapel Club are launching a remix project in which they're asking fans to remix a new track titled "Good Together". All pretty normal so far. The added bonus though is that whoever creates a remix can sell it on an online outlet of their choice and keep the proceeds. Pretty cool huh?
To check out a note from the band themselves and to get involved jump over to their official website here. You can stream the full track and the stems of the song too. Get involved and if you guys make any remixes be sure to send them our way for a listen!

Four Tet turns what is originally an atmospheric, vacant song into an elaborate, synth-infused piece. Stream it below.
