DeMarzo – Untouchable EP

Alright all you snarky little fucks, I don’t wanna hear it, OK?  We know, we know…you totally jacked “Untouchable” by DeMarzo from Zippyshare like a month ago, thus making this post old news in accordance with the blog/time conversion chart.  You know what I say to that?  Screw you and your unmastered versions!

No, but real talk though – one of the absolute best pop/RnB tracks of the last decade (Robin Thicke’s “I Wanna Love U Girl”) gets a fantastic rework via the deep, warped and funky mind of DeMarzo.  At long last, the full (MASTERED!) EP is available now on Beatport.

DeMarzo has taken a track that is already incredibly deep, sexy + soulful and turned it into something even deeper, sexier + more soulful, which is a feat in itself.  Even more bad ass is accomplishing this same feat three more times – with remixes by Kolombo, Sishi Rosch and Amine Edge & Dance it’s aces all around on this brilliant EP.

VISITOR – Coming Home [Viceroy Remix]

stippled-photo

While Viceroy’s creed may be “Summertime, All The Time”, his latest remix of “Coming Home” by VISITOR seems to capture the essence of end of Summer/early Fall.  It’s a synthpop symphony full of emotion filled lyrics, plucky beats and moody organs that isn’t so much feel good as it is just feel.  It’s a dance pop anthem that will have friends & lovers weeping with emotion on the dancefloor as it soars above the crowd.

Grab the free download below and don’t miss Viceroy and the legendary Fred Falke at Control TONIGHT in Hollywood!

[DOWNLOAD] Frank Ocean – Pyramids (Kastle Remix)

Frank Ocean - Pyramids (Kastle Remix)

Anyone who knows about Kastle in turn knows of his passion for R&B, whether it be the influence seen in his production, sprinkling of tracks in his mixtapes or sets, or the great fusion of the two: R&B remixes. After a very successful remix of The Weeknd’s “The Party & The After Party” last year, Kastle takes another bold leap into fiddling with one of the great rising stars in the R&B culture: Frank Ocean. Following Frank’s (deservedly) massive hype over the early release of “channel ORANGE” a few weeks back, Kastle’s “Pyramids” premiered this past Friday during Skream & Benga‘s weekly “beats, bass, and banter” on BBC Radio 1. Thankfully we only had to endure radio rips of the track for one weekend, as today in true bootleg and honorable fashion Kastle’s put it up on his SoundCloud for free download.

Erika Spring – Happy At Your Gate [Aeroplane Remix]

Over the years, Au Revoir Simone and Aeroplane have been a formidable tag team, whether it’s Aeroplane giving the remix treatment to the band or the girls lending their vocals to an Aeroplane original.  Their most notable collaboration was the classic rework of “Paris” by Friendly Fires.  This time around we have Aeroplane contributing a remix (with additional production & mixing by Martin Dubka) for Erika Spring, a solo project of Au Revoir Simone member Erika Forster.  The remix is for the tune “Happy At Your Gate” and the result is another classic.  The formula of deep electrodisco plus sultry, ethereal vocals is a winning combination…just like Vito + Erika.
