Hudson Mohawke
Very First Breath ft. Irfane (StéLouse Remix)

It’s been a hot minute since SteLouse‘s last release. The wait is finally over, as the Denver-based producer remixes Hudson Mohawke‘s “Very First Breath”. Flipping Irfane‘s vocals and incorporating them into the signature SteLouse sound, the talented producer creates an incredibly catchy melody with a series of wobbly synths. The unique vocals will hit you right in the feels and take you on an emotion roller coaster as the crafty synthline takes over. It’s one of those tunes that will stick with you for a long time.

It’s no easy task taking on a Hudmo track, but SteLouse definitely nailed it and made it his own. Grab this as a free download, and make sure to stay tuned as we’re expecting some fresh original tunes coming real soon!

[Trap] Ray Volpe – By Your Side (CRAY Remix)

By Your Side (CRAY Remix)

The Ninjas are fans of Ray Volpe. The Ninjas are also fans of up and coming producers remixing each others work, which is why we’re hopping on this CRAY flip of “By Your Side.” The pizza loving Los Angeles producer trapped out the heavy dub original, taking a step away from her future sound. We’re glad she did, because what she came up with is an extra dirty gem. Both drops have distinct, memorable sounds that have a high chance of getting stuck in your head. Chances are also high for you to boogie down to the bass; in fact, we’d venture to say that it’s near 100% likely that will happen. CRAY’s remix of “By Your Side” has been released for $0.

You Dont Know My Name (SMLE Remix)

Miami is known as a hub for house music. It’s also the home of SMLE, an act who recently brought some solid sounds to “You Don’t Know My Name.” SMLE’s future style is presented with a coat of some indie dance vibes in this Music Ninja premiere.

SMLE brought the 2005 Grammy award winning record into the now for one of the freshest remixes of the year. A chilled out composition sends calming tones through the ear for the mind to absorb and bask in. Even though it’s festival season, there’s a need for tracks that are a little more on the cool side, and this remix is one that is going to be at the top of the pile. SMLE delivers the goods again, but is that really surprising? With Soundcloud already stocked with numerous epic flips by SMLE, we already know and love what SMLE has to offer.

Falling (Jia Lih Remix)

Soundcloud

It was only a few months ago that we were first introduced to the mesmerizing Adria, as she released her stunning piano ballad “Falling” to the world. The original, which was recorded in Paul Epworth’s Church studio in London with producer Matthew Wiggins, features nothing more than Adria’s enveloping vocal tone and an accompanying calming piano.

With such lovely vocals, it was only a matter of time before a remixer was introduced, and we’re pleased to be the ones bringing you that remix. Enter Jia Lih, and up-and-coming producer, who puts his spin on this monumental original.

Adria’s vocals are treated with the utmost respect in this interpretation, ensuring they’re still the hero for the listener. Sections of the piano were brought in as well, accompanied by booming basslines, crashing percussion, and fluttering synths. The end result is a massively pleasing future remix, one we’ll certainly be jamming here at TMN HQ for months to come.

[Deep-House] Bobby Nourmand – Gimme Shelter

Gimme Shelter

Stream Only

Los Angeles based house maestro Bobby Nourmand‘s trek through re-imagined classic tunes has been nothing short of a house tinged earworm for much of the staff here at TMN. After already gracing the blogosphere with dance induced reboots of timeless staples from Simon & Garfunkel and The Doors, Nourmand’s turned his graceful attention to one of Mick Jagger and company’s most recognizable singles: “Gimme Shelter”. Nourmand weaves a sticky web of groove and soul through reduction rather than addition on this latest remix, instilling his focal point of a dingy and rolling 3:00 a.m. deep-house bassline and minimal percussion against Jagger’s unmistakable vocal track before crawling pads and a heavy top line synth bring each separate component crashing together. We’ve been hooked on this one since the first promo copy began circulating, and with “Gimme Shelter”‘s dreary setting played against a gloomy day for those of us Ninjas in Denver, today was the perfect day to share. Bobby Nourmand’s taking our admiration one step further as well, offering up “Gimme Shelter” as a free download here, so indulge yourself today, and tap into his altruistic nature on this most glorious of Cinco De Mayo’s.

It’s proven yet again why Candyland is one of the hottest acts out, giving us top notch records day in and day out. Truth is, Candyland has another single coming soon in the form of an original called “Murda” that will be released on SMOG Records on May 18th. If 12th Planet can get behind it, so can you!

[House/Future] Jason Burns & Sarah Winters – Lightweight (Dr. Fresch Remix)

While many of our proverbial Ninjas out there may be familiar with house slinger Dr. Fresch‘s more directed style of blending the classic, future, deep and ghetto corners of house music into a cohesive and recognizable sound; most recently on tunes like his remix of Carmada’s “Maybe”, and Gucci Mane’s “Pillz”, today we rather find the So-Cal club shaker in the midst of revealing yet another aspect to an ongoing musical evolution. On this latest offering, Dr. Fresch ushers Jason Burns & Sarah Winters‘ “Lightweight” towards a melodic sea of progressively tuned dance synths which resonate beautifully on the load-bearing backbone of deep-house foundation; but still manages to appeal to both our affinity for catchy pop and forward thinking tastemaking desires. When pressed about his latest remix, Dr. Fresch stated: “ …I wanted my remix to be representative of my dirty club house style, but also carry a similar vibe and feel to the original. This might be one of my favorite remixes of mine to date because of how I was able to contrast light and dark elements of my sound so well…” We could go on about those clashing melancholy aural electronic elements played against an upbeat, danceable background, but we’d rather just let you listen instead. And for our friends looking to expand their music libraries, be sure to grab a free download of Dr. Fresch’s “Lightweight” remix here through Love & Other and Echelon Artist Collective.
