[Electronic] Chelsea Lankes – Down For Whatever (Carousel Remix)

Chelsea Lankes
Down For Whatever (Carousel Remix)

L.A. via Texas pop vocalist Chelsea Lankes has most recently been permeating radio and blog waves with her latest single “Down For Whatever”. While the original is your proto-typical pop sound of modern day youth and the eager desire to live in the moment, another pair of L.A. inhabitants, and a duo whom has grown near and dear to our hearts over the years, Carousel, injects new life within Lankes’ original. Rather than follow an airy synth-pop blueprint as one might have expected from the former Berklee students, Carousel walks “Down For Whatever” into a two-step drum pattern and weighty synths, dipping into deeper, late night harkening instrumentation. We love seeing this more aphotic side of Jackson Philips and Kevin Friedman’s constantly evolving project, and here’s to hoping we get some more of that brooding take on pop from their machine filled studio in the near future. Stream Carousel’s “Down For Whatever” remix above.

SoySauce
Broken Record (feat. Joni Fatora) (Louis The Child Remix)

Now that the cats out of the bag about DJ SoySauce’s true identity (1/2 of the project is Royals), we can’t help but feel the anxiety within us come to a subtle end. The anonymity behind that project drove us through the wall and into a realm of high blood pressure and insomnia. Now that that’s finally over, we can go back to sharing the latest internet-breaking tune from TMN favorite’s, Louis The Child, and their sensational remix of DJ SoySauce’s, “Broken Record” featuring Joni Fatora.

Louis The Child are a couple of young kids who just happen to have quite the knack for producing…and slaying the Hype Machine charts like a Nord slays a dragon in Skyrim. Today we are absolutely thrilled to be premiering their remix of “Broken Record” and can confidently say that this is one of the most phenomenal pieces they’ve crafted yet. Without straying too far from the original, Louis The Child transform this DJ Soysauce gem into a head bobbing, futuristic, hella fun anthem of 2015. Filled with beautifully side-chained synths, a cheerful progression, and fun little breakdowns to make us feel like we’re 6 years old in a candy store, LTC give us a delicious new rendition to make our ears and mouth crave more. As we try to find a remedy to settle this sweet tooth (other than the repeat button and a pint of Ben & Jerry’s), make sure you pick up your free download and add an extra scoop of happiness to your day because LTC is about to boost your mood like never before.

Oh Wonder – Body Gold (LUCA LUSH Remix) [TMN Premiere]

Oh Wonder
Body Gold (LUCA LUSH Remix)

LUCA LUSH is back with another crazy flip, and he’s taken on one of the most exciting new groups to debut from last year, Oh Wonder. The alaya member has become comfortable with his high energy remixes, and he really has juiced up Oh Wonder in a fun and futuristic fashion. Hopping from deep house style basses to sweltering nu disco synths, this remix never sits stagnant for a moment. He also preserved just the right amount of vocals to bring a little emotion into the club like he has done so well previously. On a different but equally exciting note, we’ve caught wind that he has a tune coming up with Dirty Chocolate to be released on alaya in the near future, so enjoy this phenomenal flip in the mean time and keeps your eyes peeled for that new collaboration!

STWO – Eden (Nightizm Remix) [TMN PREMIERE]

Stwo
Eden (Nightizm Remix)

Last week HW&W artist Stwo revealed the winners of his “Eden” remix contest, narrowing down a field of over 400 submissions to just 13. While you may feel like you’ve already had your fill of “Eden” remixes, we’re here to tell you why you need to make room for at least one more. Clocking in at just under six minutes, Nightizm‘s extended reimagining makes for an extremely engrossing listen marked by hypnotic synths, haunting bass and crackling snares. Whereas the original presents itself as an introduction building up to something much larger, Nightizm’s rendition takes a different approach, choosing to arrange an experience that is truly immersive from start to finish.

This rendition of “Eden” is yet another remarkable tune to add to Nightizm’s already impressive resumé. Download the track above, and if you’re not familiar with him yet, make sure to check out the rest of the Toronto native’s excellent catalog over on his official SoundCloud page.

[Chill] Lana Del Rey – Black Beauty (Dinnerdate Remix)

Lana Del Rey
Black Beauty (Dinnerdate Remix)

Evolving one’s style and experimenting with new sounds is never an easy time for artists in the producing game. With all the excitement of exploration comes the risk of never being satisfied with the results or getting lost in a state of seemingly endless indirection. As is the case with most things in life though, the rewards are out there for those willing to take the leap, and for that we have this official remix from TMN favorite Dinnerdate as a shining example. It’s intimidating enough to take on the incredible talent of Lana’s vocals under normal circumstances, but to do so while carving out a fresh signature feel is a remarkable feat. The outcome speaks for itself, and the chills are still resonating from the first time this buttery mix graced our ears.

For those familiar with our previous features from Simon, don’t expect the usual deep house groove you may have grown accustomed to. As much as we’ve enjoyed all his past releases, nothing comes close to the pleasure of hearing someone have the courage to expand their repertoire and absolutely nail it. We won’t ruin the surprise for you, so all you need to know is that this one is sexy as hell. The perfect treatment for Lana’s voice that leaves us brimming with anticipation for what he’ll come up with next.

Parasite Single – The Hunt (Bronze Whale Remix) [TMN Premiere]

Parasite Single
The Hunt (Bronze Whale Remix)

Austin natives Bronze Whale have demonstrated a knack for matching bone chilling atmospheric elements with familiar tinges of trap to mold a dynamite and collected sound. They’ve taken to reshaping a tune by Parasite Single, and newly define the track’s house rhythm and feel with a tactful increase in tempo, icy synths and subtle but noteworthy drum work. With minimal, but effective chopping, the vocals cut through the duo’s production like a knife, allowing a fitting homage to the original while preserving Bronze Whale’s signature style and ingenuity. Both breathtaking and reassuring, this take on “The Hunt” abides by BW’s stellar standards and, luckily for us, is available for a free download, so take some time today to ease back and revel in this cosmic, glacial soundscape.
