CAPPA
Killin' It (Eau Claire Remix)

Rachel Wong’s consistent evolution and progression of sound through her Eau Claire project has been a hot topic of conversation around TMN lately. The DC based disco slayer has continually raised expectations with every passing release, most recently being featured through a properly deep take on Marvin Gaye’s “How Sweet It Is”; and shows no signs of slowing down her assiduous output. Today, Eau Claire’s teamed up with Nashville by way of Philly artist CAPPA to author a disco infused remix of “Killin’ It”, taking the original’s slick downtempo pop feel and framing it gorgeously through a syrupy, even more danceable lens. As the weather turns a bit warmer stateside, we’re expecting to hear this one on rooftops and pool parties all season. Stream Eau Claire’s “Killin It” remix above, and grab a free download here.

How Sweet It Is (Eau Claire Remix)

DC-based producer Eau Claire is a magician when it comes to resurrecting oldies. The classic Marvin Gaye tune “How Sweet It Is” gets the Eau Claire makeover, and she gives it a deeper factor than the usual disco approach. Kicking off with a series of oriental synths, the tune has a simple but dreamy vibe. The keys go pleasantly well with the hollowed vocals, and accentuate the feel-good element of the track. There’s so much positive energy, it’s no wonder this classic remix deserves every bit of attention. We just couldn’t get enough of this goodness.

To end the year on a positive note, here’s a feel-good tune for all the happy souls out there. DC-based Eau Claire has been on a roll with her sophisticated remixes, whether it’s a Stevie Wonder oldie or a Mike Posner Top 40 pop hit, she manages to pick just the right tracks to remix all while showing finesse and character in her music. Reworking MIA‘s one-hit wonder “Paper Planes”, Eau Claire aims to create something that’s both inventive and reminiscent.

It starts off with a series of oriental sounding synth, accompanied by a classic house beat. The original tune is flipped and turned into a fun and loosening dance track. The subtle dissonance before the catchy drop shows the level of complexity and uniqueness of the song. Many would criticize disco music for being dull and repetitive, yet this track says otherwise. It’s definitely not your average banger. While staying true to her music, the talented Eau Claire is set to take on the nu-disco scene by storm. Make sure to follow her for more dope tunes to come!

This juicy edit of Mike Posner‘s hit single from a few years ago, “Cooler Than Me,” will have you dancing your pants off. Starting off with vocal samples from the original tune and a funky beat, the talented artist’s rework captures your senses through quirky and clever maneuvers.

Following the success of her previous hit remix of Stevie Wonder‘s “Uptight”, Eau Claire is definitely making a name for herself in the revival of indie dance scene. Make sure to grab a free download of this remix here and check out her work as as part of Man & Woman, another nu-disco duo.
