Kavinsky – Nightcall (Studio Brussels Remix)

Contributed by Elliott Porter

kavinsky

Here we have French electro star Kavinsky – known for his 80’s sound, getting remixed by Scottish club-popper, Studio Brussels. Sexy vocals and a fresh take on Kavinsky’s old school sound has this song meshing better than memory foam. Check out more by Studio Brussels at the links below.

Maribou State – Got Me Down (Jason Burns Remix)

mariboustate

Our Cleveland brother Jason Burns turns his latest on this new remix for London UK band Maribou State. JB works down a bit of 2011 R&B, neo-garage, and a smattering tropical-y marimbas into mix. Anything Jason Burns puts out has become pretty much a must listen around b3sci HQ. Get hip below.

Madeon – Icarus (ANT Remix)

madeon

Our man ANT from Oz puts a sweet spin on Madeon’s excellent track for “Icarus”. That Madeon shit is pretty mint on its own. It takes a truly top shelf mixman to go in on a Madeon track and survive it. ANT survives, thrives, and knocks that shit straight out. Result.

Tree – People (ft. Shelf Nunny & Lena Kuhn)

Contributed by Chris Gedos

It would be an understatement to say that the genre of grown up twee folk is oversaturated these days. From nihiti to Dale Earnhardt Jr Jr, the niche is ablaze with artists of various levels of acclaim, which is what makes the song “People” by SF artist Tree all the more impressive. Something about the rambling lyrics and piercing wurlitzer makes me imagine some cat on a guitar outside City Lights with a tin can and a tattered copy of Naked Lunch on the pavement. This is a rare song of great feeling which doesn’t get caught up in a pretentiously grandiose statement. I dare you to only listen once.

Radiohead – Bloom (Jamie xx Remix Pt. 3)

radiohead3

Fellow b3sci fam Erin and I were talking this newest version of Jamie xx’s “Bloom” remix earlier today and we were both like whoa (no Black Robb) “When did all music start sounding like this?” It’s kind of true, when did all music (at least on the internet) start sounding like Jamie’s new “Bloom” remix? So, great. Souped up British garage-influenced space R&B is now ON TOP. WHERE IS THE BACKLASH? Come on indie music press don’t sleep on that backlash. We know y’all love a good backlash. p.s. We really love this remix.

The recently monikered Foxes is the latest project courtesy of Neon Gold sure to be set on #repeat. Toquote: “This 22-year old superstar in waiting writes leftfield pop anthems with the kind of infectious ambition that has desk-strapped A&Rs foaming at the checkbook.” Get familiar below:
