@Chip216 links up with Coco O(!) from Quadron for this new “Me Too” joint produced by Blended Babies. “Me Too”‘s a bit different sound from Chip. – a bit more synth-y, a bit more processed. But we like this new look on Chip and then you add in on top that Coco’s soulful coos and (exhale), it’s serious.

Skinner recently let loose this re-do of BFL’s blog-o-verse smash “Atlas Hands”. With a pace firmly electro; laid back female vocals supporting big synthetic beats, Mike Skinner basically delivers up to what BFL would sound like if he sang on a Streets record. Hows that retirement coming, Mike?

The Dum Dum Girls just dropped this cover of “Fade Into You” this morning and we’re loving it. Seriously, “Coming Down” is great and a big step up for the band. The section just after the midpoint of the song, where the instrumental comes up out of the second chorus, is really moving. Nice work, ladies!

The 1000 year reign of the Adult Swim Singles series rolls on with this new Rapture remix. This edit is sick but no amount of smooth synth polish can mask that the melody on “How Deep Is Your Love” is totally “The Thong Song”. SISQO & DRU HILL, I know you feel us on this.

On the heels of his gorgeous Burial “Shell of Light” remix, Shlohmo up’d the ante with this UNFUCKINGREAL remix of Drake’s “Marvin’s Room”. This is one of the coolest “chill” rap remixes probably ever. Shlohmo is absolutely killing it right now. We couldn’t be bigger fans. Witness below.

OK, so we did some digging and found another track from the inscrutable Al Bizzare. Maybe it really is Skrillex or maybe it’s David Guetta but it’s most likely it’s just these two relatively unknown Russian dudes. That said, “Fire Breazze” is great and definitely deserves some shine, so here comes.

Our fav so far off Ritual Union. “Please Turn” is maybe the hardest album track groove LD has been on yet. We’re loving it.

Annie Mac debuted it on her Friday night BBC program and now b3sci bring you the North American premiere of Leo Zero’s new remix for Bombay Bicycle Club. Mr. Zero levels up the kick, adds a cool new kinetic bassline, and tops it off with some sweet synth and dub guitar flourishes. The resulting mix is fine complement to the original track and amounts to the most delicious of Brit rock electro sundaes for your Monday. (we got rhymes!)
