[Drum N Bass] Schoolboy – Day Dreamer

Schoolboy is an up and coming producer from Los Angeles who is putting out some great drumstep, dubstep and DnB bangers lately. His new EP titled “The Science Project” explores the full spectrum of electronic tempos and hard styles while still maintaining a consistent voice throughout. We especially like his spaced out melodies and shifting, heavy duty bass lines. Take a listen to our favorite single off the album, “Day Dreamer” and if it gets you fired up then pick up his album on Beatport here.

[Cover] The Arkells – Video Games (Lana Del Rey)

Ontario’s indie rock favorites, The Arkells, have released a new cover version of Lana Del Rey’s song “Video Games”. Their version retreats from the electronic and orchestral overtones that hold sway in Lana’s original almost completely. Instead, the band has provided a new look into the song by way of acoustic finger style guitar and a slightly quicker delivery; A departure from even their own usually upbeat sound, this new take shows the group’s musical versatility.

Radiohead – Codex (Hannes Fischer Edit) [Fresh]

Hannes Fischer is known for his dub- house remixes. He has gained a lot of attention through his work on tracks from both Feist and SBTRKT. His latest effort, a new take on Radiohead‘s “Codex”, should prove to be an excellent addition to his impressive and expanding portfolio.

With his remix of “Codex”, Fischer has taken a minimalistic approach. He has taken nothing away from the original dynamics of the song, but added to the track through his thoughtful and atmospheric editing. The constant bass drum and reverberating vocal lines  give the song an ethereal feel that is complimented by effect heavy textures and a memorable piano part. Fischer’s edits really capture the original idea and keep it intact while presenting it in a slightly new way. Well done.

Summer Camp – Losing My Mind (Saint Etienne Remix) [Electronica]

Summer Camp are an indie pop duo formed by multi-instrumentalist Jeremy Warmsley and vocalist Elizabeth Sankey. Signed under Moshi Moshi Label, they released their debut EP ‘Young EP’ in 2010, and first full length album ‘Welcome to Condale’ in 2011. ‘Losing My Mind’ comes from their debut album containing hopeless lyrics dealing with a loss of a relationship. The new revamped remix by Saint Etienne is much darker than the original with hazy instrumentation that wonderfully contrast with Elizabeth light vocals.

This is one of three extra versions of the song that will appear on the single package when it’s out in March.
