[Indie-Dance] The Weeknd – Can’t Feel My Face (Kolaj Cover)

Posted by Tyler Trew - September 1, 2015

KOLAJ
Can't Feel My Face (The Weeknd Cover)

After releasing their original song “The Touch,” Kolaj is back with a cover of “Can’t Feel My Face” by The Weeknd. The original has undoubtedly been one of the biggest records of the year, and this cover has to be one of the top remixes, bootlegs, covers or edits out there, as it’s already gotten mad love over the week it’s been out. The duo get a bit tropical with in style, but don’t dip quite so far as to reach Kygo status. They keep to their strengths and play off the sub-genre for one amazing cover of a song that has gotten a whole lot of attention from producers. By pumping out their own version, and bringing the vocal of Teesa, this is one extraordinary makeover. Want the track for your own digital library? Download it for free!

Lollapalooza 2015: Our Top Takeaways [Event Review]

Posted by Baseer Ahmad - August 7, 2015

As with any music festival, after Lollapalooza is over, it always takes us a few days to digest everything and snap back to reality. For locals, the festival serves as a three day escape within our own city. For outsiders, it provides them with a completely unique way to experience Chicago. The magic of Lollapalooza is simply unmatched, and despite a weather scare on the final day, Lollapalooza 2015 turned out to be just as memorable as years past. On the next few pages we’ve broken down some of our lasting impressions from Lolla.

[Future] The Weeknd – The Hills (SKULS RIP)

The Weeknd
The Hills (SKULS RIP)

Buy

SKULS have always brought the fire with their signature RIP remixes. They keep the flames going strong with their remix of “The Hills” by The Weeknd. Future and trap are the usual routes the duo take, and with this the former sound is where they head. With all the explosive energetic tracks that are coming out this festival season, it’s nice to catch a break on the chiller side. SKULS allow for that with a tasteful production that is along the lines of producers like Prince Fox. Given their extensive list of quality cuts, we’re hoping to see these two do some original productions for some of the people they’ve remixed. They certainly have the chops, as you can hear. As always, they have given this track one out for free. Hop on it!

Posted by TMN Staff - April 8, 2015

The spectacle and legend of Coachella Valley Arts & Music Festival seems to grow every year and, although it’s certainly reached a critical mass at this point, it proves time and time again to be worth the trip. After breaking box office records for consecutive years, Coachella continues blazing ahead in 2015 with a deep, diverse lineup and some of their most ambitious projects to date including their largest investment in art installations ever. With the first weekend kicking off this Friday, the set times for Coachella were finally let loose yesterday bringing up the regular scheduling conflicts and tough decisions. To make things easier for you all, we’ve decided to lay out our top acts to see every day chronologically. We hope this serves as a useful guide as you prepare for the whirlwind of emotion that is Coachella. Best advice we can give you all: keep good company, don’t sweat (figuratively, of course, perspiration is imminent) and most importantly be safe. Hope to run in to some of you ninjas there!

[Indie Dance] The Weeknd – Where You Belong (Shèmce Remix)

The Weeknd
Where You Belong (Shèmce Remix)

Buy

The Weeknd is one of those artists who is simply perfect for remixing, and even just trying to think about the number of new renditions of his music out there is staggering. Shifting gears from his sensual R&B livelihood, The Weeknd gets a gritty and groovy makeover courtesy of Shèmce. The whole track is shape shifted and structured for massive replay value, and even with the complete genre flip, the tune retains the expected amount of sexiness that comes with every Weeknd track. Shèmce clearly has no reservations about trying new things, as evident by his choices on the artists he has previously remixed (Betty Who, Ben. E. King, and Adrian Lux), and his transformation of The Weeknd’s “Where You Belong” has seen a good amount of success so far for a reason. Grab the download and kick off your week with a solid tune to warm up to.

[Future] Robokid – Luv Me Harder

Posted by Mitch Marzuola - February 10, 2015

ROBOKID
Luv Me Harder

Buy

Moving Castle member Robokid just offered up a delightfully delicate track via Nest HQ in the form of a “Love Me Harder” remix. He takes the Ariana Grande and Weeknd tune into the stratosphere by shooting it into hyper speed with pitched up vocals, textbook breaks, and ethereal synths that have become staples within his forward thinking production style. It’s always exciting when a new Moving Castle release is finally available for our anxious eardrums, and Robokid has defined himself as a prominent member of the collective. “Luv Me Harder” sustains his strong push into expanded popularity within the online realm and beyond, which begs the question (concerning his consistent nature): Is he human or is he robot? Either way, we are big fans of what he has accomplished. Snag the free download via ToneDen!

[Chill] The Weeknd – KISSLAND (YUME Bootleg Edit)

KISSLAND (YUME Bootleg Edit)

Soundcloud

YUME is an absolute enigma. His “Hold My Liquor” remix was one of my favorite tracks of 2013 but he took it off his Soundcloud before we could share it around. He’s been tinkering on and off since and one of his greatest pieces thus far his is interpretation of The Weeknd’s “Kissland”. The Jersey boy brings forth one of the most indescribable, ethereal soundscapes you will ever hear. We are truly at a loss for words with this remix, it is that gorgeous. Here’s hoping Yume sees this and knows he has fans that want him to keep showcasing his music to the world.
