Sail (WhiteNoise Remix)
Just before the weekend, based-in-Holland-born-in-Germany producer WhiteNoise dropped a new remix. A pretty heavy one. He took on Awolnation’s ‘Sail’, from the remix contest that ran in August and September of last year. And no surprise, Awolnation scream-singing throug a bassline that sound like a bad-ass lawn mower just works really well.

Touch & Go
More music by the Dutch band Bastian, a project by producer Bas Bron and some of his closest friends. The second free track from their album ‘There’s No Such Place‘ is titled ‘Touch & Go’. A proper electro-funk-rocker, with some serious Lenny Kravitzness going on at 1.21. More about Bastian soon, look out for them on the upcoming Jackplug podcast.

A Conversation Between Time & Pride
Treekeeper is a 19-years-old producer from Nashville, TN currently living in Burlington, NC. Together with Louisville rapper Macro he has a pretty interesting EP up on Soundcloud titled ‘Welcome to Bohemia’. (Follow through and listen to the entire EP. It’s worth the exactly 20 minutes of your time.) One track on the EP is titled ‘A Conversation Between Time & Pride’, it’s featured below. Proof that the EP is pretty damn brilliant both lyrically and musically.

California Rain
Our latest discovery in an ever growing pool mashup kids is Toronto-based NoteGeek. He does a fine job at mashing op uber-corny pop songs. Though we might not be the biggest fans of the music he uses, we admit these mashups are just really really smooth. His latest mixdown is a good example. Katy Perry’s ‘California Girls’ acapella over Adele’s ‘Set Fire To The Rain’ instrumentals. Everybody’s mother’s mother will recognize this.

We Found Love (Kid Smpl Remix)
Seattle’s Kid Smpl delivers a pretty deep rendition on Rihanna’s ‘We Found Love’. The entire idea of this being a ‘radio song’ is ripped out, and instead Simpl sets a pretty unique atmosphere with just a few lines from the original acapella and aditional synths. Good idea, great job, awesome vibe.

Tenderly (Melé Remix)
And literally seconds ago while I was writing this, Annie Mac uploaded her weekly ‘Annie Mac presents..’ track. This week she’s promoting a fantastic remix by Melé on ‘Tenderly’ by Disclosure. So in true tradition of annoying Facebook comments: FIRST.
