Krazy Kool Kanye Kovers

Kill me for that title, but whatever.

This cover of "Through The Wire" by Fyfe is excellently executed. He keeps it mostly acoustic--I'm a big fan of the deep xylophone--save for the signature screams from Rob Base & DJ EZ Rock's "It Takes Two," which is an incredibly amazing addition.

When two awesome DJs collaborate, don't be surprised to hear something fantastic. Cool and unique cover, dig it.

Beggin For Thread Remixes

BANKS is pretty much golden these days. Her complete album Goddess, released earlier in September proffers a solidified sense of soul, in a less complain-y way than Lana Del Rey with a more concrete sensuality, but still keeps up the mystique. Of all the tracks, though, "Beggin For Thread" remains my absolute favorite (see original below). It's now one of those tracks that catches several DJs' attentions, for good reason.

Hotel Garuda clearly feels comfortable mixing this genre of music, but among their many Lana remixes, this one stands out as one of their best. Gryffin teams up with them to transform this track into something more upbeat than I could have imagined, but they seem to balance out the minor tones pretty well. See what you think:

This remix by Bag Raiders actually caught me completely off guard in the best way possible. This duo hasn't been releasing much lately and I feel like for them to remix a song as popular as this is kind of a big deal, but whatever. (Side note: I will never be over their out of this world track "Shooting Stars"... I always find myself going back to it.) This remix is an example of their amazing exploration in all things electronic and I hope to hear more remixes from them soon.

The Latest: Hotel Garuda

I love the upbeat vibes Hotel Garuda continuously delivers to their remixes. They are clearly well versed in handling Lana Del Rey's vocals quite excellently. Their latest take on Lana's brilliant/dark/whispery "Ultraviolence" is amazing and flows perfectly.

Hotel Garuda released this remix just yesterday, and it plays well in their signature style of upbeat funk. Also, I'm not sure who this Anna Lunoe character is, but she has a pretty rockin' voice.

This remix of theirs is a bit older, and I know you're asking why I'm even posting another remix of Chromeo's fantastic track, "Jealous," but I think it's worth a mention if you have yet to hear it!

Summertime Sadness Remixed

I know, I know. It's not even summer, why does the DJ keep on playing "Summertime Sadness???" All Selfie-related questions aside, you're probably also asking yourself how it's possible to come out with another remix of this song. Well, it's possible, and here it is. Thanks to Hotel Garuda, who also brought us the awesome mix of "Rhythm Of The Night," this song is brought to a different level of funk, that strays far away from any of the house remixes that it has previously experienced. I'm a huge fan of this version, as it transforms the most somber Lana into something unexpected: groovy. It brings out the true pop in her that often gets lost in her most seemingly serious vocals. Once again, Hotel Garuda is able to excellently provide a new dimension for a track and, in this case, most seamlessly so.

Rhythm Of The Night Remixed

Clearly the original of this song is a classic. However, Hotel Garuda's smooth and refined remix brings it to a new dimension, with various accents of flair through the additional instrumental elements (dat sax doe). I can groove to this and hope you can too.
