GRANT – Give Me Scabies (Kitty Pryde)

Seventeen years young Relief in Abstract producer GRANT flips some smooth Kenny G and the call-out hook from CRJ’s “Call Me Maybe” on his new Beat Tape Vol. 1. I’d love to be stuck in the elevator with my grandma when this jam comes on. She’d probably get down, of course so long as she doesn’t know the track title.

Florence + The Machine – Spectrum (Maya Jane Coles Remix)

One of our favorite newish producers Maya Jane Coles dials up Florence’s latest “Spectrum”, creating for a nicely tipped ethereal glide all throughout the track. Definitely not a mix or producer or to sleep on.

The xx – Do You Mind (Derek Walin Remix)

A couple of years on now, there’s still something magic about The xx’s sublime cover of Kyla’s “Do You Mind”. Here, Miami producer Derek Walin takes the xx cut to the after hours club. Injecting enough pulse and break to keep you conscious while still conserving enough of the original’s soothing quality to keep you breathing. We love it.
