No longer a stranger to the pages of the Music Ninja, diligent producer Monsieur Adi gets his hands on Lana Del Rey‘s somber, dramatic track “Summertime Sadness”. The remix takes most of the frown out of the original, and instead injects it with dance floor speed, funky lines and a newfound sizzling sexiness. Listen in below.
Be sure to check out Monsieur Adi’s other featured remixes “Pompeii” and “Born To Die”.
Remember when LDR had all that media backlash last year? Thankfully, we’ve all moved on from that and are simply enjoying the music. I mean, if it wasn’t for her, we wouldn’t have this awesome remix from US producer Cedric Gervais (who actually just played Denver’s Beta Nightclub on Saturday). It’s a pretty flawless track, so I’ll just let you get to it:

There comes a point in a relationship when things start to get old and we need a re-do on the good times. Like Marty McFly in a DeLorean, many of us wish we could just hop into a time machine and live out the good times again. On the new track “Back to Basics” from the indie songstress Lana Del Rey, reminisces on how good the past was and how messed up the situation has become. The artist formerly known as Lizzie Grant adds a groovy, up-tempo piano driven beat coupled with her unique romantic-comedy worthy lyrics and strong vocals. Be sure to check out the track below.
Though Lana Del Rey‘s known for her morose character, this new “Ride” remix by electronica artist SOHN takes darkness to a new level. Sounding more like a mournful procession than a mere dramatic ballad, its deep, buzzing synths and what sounds like a backdrop of eerie choral humming, lay out the groundwork for some real moody landscapes.
SOHN, who just signed to Vagrant Records (Active Child, School of Seven Bells, The 1975), has released a number of impressive originals which we’ve covered here: “The Wheel” and “Red Lines”.

Next week, America’s somber songstress Lana Del Rey releases Born To Die – The Paradise Edition. The double album is packaged with goodies like video games, and eight new songs like “Ride” and “Blue Velvet”. In anticipation of that, the always striking and morose LDR dropped a foggy, mystical music video for her track “Bel Air”. Included in the information for the video, is a line: “i lost my reputation, i forgot my truth. But i have my beauty and i have my youth,” which is attributed to “TROPICO the film, coming next year”. What does this mean? We’ll have to wait and see. In the meantime, hit “play” and lose yourself in billows of green and blue smoke.
Parisian producer Monsieur Adi layers on some creeping synths, dramatic strings and funky guitars to the already arresting original “Born To Die” by Lana Del Rey, giving it a darker, groove-filled demeanor. Contrary to the accompanying picture, the remix isn’t a patriotic anthem, but is definitely worth more than one spin. So put it on loop, even as you wait in line to rock the vote. Check it out and grab a free download below!

It’s been awhile since we last heard from electronic music’s choir-pop genius Active Child, so when we got wind of this Lana Del Rey “Ride” remix, we were pretty eager to hit play. It keeps the original’s dark, dramatic flair, but there are some additional elements that give it an extra spark. Check it out for yourself below:
