Chris Brown
Yo [Excuse Me Miss] (SMLE Remix)

It’s Thursday, and all we can do is watch for the clock to hit the minute that means we can escape from our duties, get ourselves home and sprawl out on the couch. Hey, maybe we’ll even indulge ourselves with a soothing glass of wine or whiskey. But while you’re pouring that glass or getting into that comfortable position on the sofa, why not provide you with a tune that will expedite the process of replenishing the energy in your exhausted bodies.

Once again, SMLE is back with another tune that leaves listeners with ear to ear grins. This time around they remix an oldie but goodie, Chris Brown’s sensual ‘Yo (Excuse Me Miss).’ The duo spins the r&b original into their familiar jazz-infused futuristic sound, providing just the right amount of intensity through funky harmonies and stimulating percussion, without giving too much change to the framework of the classic radio hit. Releasing the remix in the midst of festival season, make sure to catch SMLE perform it live during their debut set at Gridlife, along with other fests such as Moonrise and the mainstage of Dancefestiopia on Sunday.

Happy Friday Ninjas! But even more so, happy Spring break to those who are still slaving away to get that pretty piece of paper. To start your weekends (and breaks) off right, we’ve got a brand new release that will surely set the mood.

Only recently, prodigy producer, Just A Gent teased listeners with Limelight, a track off of his forthcoming EP, Stories To Tell. Feauturing the unparalled vocals of R O Z E S, the saccharine, sunny tune gets a makeover from Miami duo, SMLE. The sound immediately tranforms from youthful and innocent to one that’s heavy and steamy.

The remix exhibits SMLE’s recognizable hard-hitting synth work and hints of jazz-like dissonance, which promotes nothing but energy throughout the song. So while you’re getting your tan on in Cancun or relaxing after the week’s demands, take a minute to check out this jam.

SMLE is back at it with another remix bursting with color, this time taking on Connell Cruise‘s “Into the Wild.” The vibrant vibe of SMLE’s latest release reflects the title to a T, as it is characterized by a wonderfully care-free sound. SMLE has a way of producing something with elements that come across as so “simple,” yet when added in the right places, they form a musical masterpiece. In respect to this latest remix, they couldn’t have gotten those “places” more right. Believe us when we say this is a jam, one that will have you grinning from ear to ear.

Gwen Stefani. Oh how I’ve missed her. Thanks to the newest remix from SMLE, she is back and better than ever. These two are becoming increasingly notorious for embellishing older songs for the benefit of our eager ears. From T-Pain to Train, there’s no telling what this duo will tackle next, and this rambunctious and dynamic vision of a Gwen Stefani classic shepherds in nostalgia while also setting up your week for a cheery start. Hopefully at some point in the near future, the weather starts warming up again, because SMLE’s newest is a tune primed and ready for car rides with the windows down and sunny days. If this track is any indication, clearly they are eager for summer to kick back in, and honestly, who isn’t?

6 A.M.

It’s always a pleasant surprise when two artists join forces to create a track and, even more so, when those are artists have vastly different musical styles. That is why we are super stoked to see the names LooKas and SMLE on the same record.

If you are familiar with either of the artists, then you know that LooKas always brings the bass while SMLE have proved themselves as masters of future and funk. The blend of festival trap and futuristic funk on “6 A.M.” makes for the perfect balance of party and chill. The track shifts from soft and innocent to hard and intense while an evolving tempo, thus keeping listeners on their toes at all times.

Here at TMN, we are passionate about sharing the music that brings our ears happiness with our viewers. Just the same, we are devoted to exposing those shrouded artists with unforeseen music that is just waiting to be heard. These hidden treasures are what always seem to quench our music thirst.

As of recent SMLE made their way onto the music map, and you better believe we didn’t fail to notice. After catching our attention with their cover of Michael Buble’s rendition of Nina Simone’s original “Feeling Good,” we have kept our eyes glued for new releases.

As music bloggers, we are lucky enough to be able to watch artists develop in both their success and their sound. From a more personal point-of-view, and having been introduced to SMLE’s work since day uno, this brand new release of theirs is quite a treat for myself as it captures their growth. Taking on Train’s pop hit, “Hey Soul Sister,” SMLE feeds your ears illuminating melodies from start to end.

As you may remember from TMN’s previous coverage of SMLE, the guys like to incorporate live instrumentals into their productions. Throughout the remix you’ll notice colorful guitar lines in addition to the glittering synths that pulls the whole piece together to become something that is truly one of its own kind.
