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.

Good Life (CD & Miskeyz Remix)

I've been listening to this remix for about a month now and keep finding my way back to it. Kanye clearly was welcoming himself to the good life with no intention of looking back... but like who doesn't miss the old Kanye. This mix of classic pre-Kim Kanye is spectacular and exudes all the perfect vibes. Also side note, who forgot about T-Pain like me? Remember that stupid app that came out to autotune your voice? Did anyone else catch his amazing Tiny Desk Concert at NPR??? Like ok T-Pain, it's pretty reassuring to know you're a real musician. Sorry for rambling, listen to this fuego remix right here.

Catching Up: The White Panda

The White Panda was one of my first mashup DJ obsessions in high school, so it's awesome to me to see how their work evolves and progresses, especially as they have been releasing more and more original remixes. (Side note: sophomore year of college I said hey to them after their show and then later hung out with them at a bar, nbd). So yeah, I love them.

I don't know if any of you were as obsessed as I was with Imogen Heap's "Hide and Seek" in late middle school. The real mystery is actually what did she say?! I've been dying to know for like ten years now. I never did watch the OC, but I did catch that season 2 finale where Marissa shoots a firearm to this dramatic tune. More important, I mostly watched the SNL parody of that scene... many a time. Anyways, awesome remix of really just that classic line of the song here.

Although there have been a shit ton of Disclosure remixes, I don't think I've heard a mashup of one of their tracks. As per usual, The White Panda brings some serious originality here in pairing "Latch" with "Cooler than Me" by Mike Posner. (Like, wut? Who thinks of that?) This is a fun track and I know you know all the words.

Cooler Than Latch (Disclosure ft. Sam Smith// Mike Posner)

Long live The White Stripes. I mean, even my dad loved them. And Meg White is a badass drummer. Pretty unexpected remix but nonetheless dope.

The White Stripes - Seven Nation Army (White Panda Reboot)

I love a good Flume track, and even more I think I love it with Kanye West even better. You may think that this song might have been forever marked as one of The Hangover themes, but no, this is awesome. P.S. I'm not getting a sig on my beeper.

Drunk In Love Remixed

I didn't really think it was possible for this fabulous song to get any better, but Kanye West's added verse to Beyoncé's Drunk In Love gives it something extra special. The instrumentals changed from the original into something more string-based and higher pitched, giving it some more tension in every good way. Noted: the Flashing Lights cameo is pretty awesome. Let's just say that if I don't achieve any of my academic goals by the end of this week I know I will at least have Kanye's verse down pat... I don't know the way you do it but you do it to me though.

Diplo also released his rendition of the already amazing song this weekend. Obviously this is Diplo, so this one is more "trap" oriented and electronic reliant. I don't think I could ever dislike any version of the tune so check it out.

Also here is a lullaby-like remix by Hunt for the Breeze, which takes the song into a very light and airy vibe that I really enjoy.
