Alesso
Heroes feat. Tove Lo (Salvatore Ganacci Remix)[Out Nov 24 on Def Jam]

Soundcloud

Out now the legendary Def Jam imprint is the remix of the debut single on the label from rising dance star Alesso. “Heroes” has been garnering some serious air time and gets the remix treatment from
Swedish producer Salvatore Gannacci, amongst a couple of others. His remix opens up proceedings with some low-slung dubbed out reggae vibes which enhance the vocals of singer Tove Lo and bring down the tempo to an easy swing.

Creating some tension, that gradually builds before the vocal crescendo and drop combine, switching the feel of the track completely. Big gassy kicks and riffs work inside scatty percussion, making Ganacci’s remix something of a banger. Seek out a copy of the remix on Monday when it lands.

Regulate (Destructo & Wax Motif Remix)

Warren G‘s Regulate…G Funk Era album has stood the test of time as a project that helped defined a whole genre along with classics like Dr. Dre‘s The Chronic and Snoop Dogg‘s Dogystyle. Although G-Funk’s prime has passed, it has had a lasting impact not only in hip-hop introducing melodious flows and funky production but also across genres even inspiring the inception of G-House. To celebrate the 20th anniversary of the multi-platinum selling classic, Def Jam/Universal put together a re-issue of Regulate…G Funk Era that features 3 EDM remixes of its smooth, timeless title track. It’s only fitting that one of the remixes comes from Australian trap-leaning producer Wax Motif and LA’s own Destructo, who’s recent West Coast EP updates the classic sounds of his home coast. Give Wax and Destructo’s dope take on “Regulate,” which strikes a perfect balance between the original and hard-hitting electronic elements, above.

We’re excited to be giving away a Vinyl and CD of the reissue including the full original album and the remix above along with two more from Jaux and Photek. Enter your email below to enter! We will be accepting participants through next Thursday, 12/18, and the winner will be notified via email the morning of 12/19. If you can’t wait, though, you can also purchase the vinyl/CD/digital version now here.
