Badaboum (Alle Farben Remix)

Well, this sure is a nice way to ring in the weekend. This remix by Alle Farben just reels in endless energy and makes you want to get up an boogie... time to jam. Happy Friday!

Hooverphonic - Badaboum (Alle Farben Remix)

Sayonara (Speaker Of The House Remix)

Well this one opens with some spectacular first lyrics, because let's admit it, sometimes we all feel like "fuck the world, I don't care anymore." This is me most days, and then I just do what I want and things (for the most part) end up going okay. Anyways, we recently heard another awesome mix from Speaker Of The House, and it looks like he's on a roll since this one is just as fire. Girly vocals like this could be taken in so many directions and I think he tones them down nicely and did exactly what needed to be done very well. On that note, Sayonara suckerz...

Gone (Instrum Remix) & More...

Oh, I found this song just in time to avoid responding to a pestilent text from someone who probably doesn't deserve a response.. aka I'm gone, BYE. Anyways Instrum, whose work I really admired this summer but never posted, does a fabulous job with this mix. It has a solid dance-worthy beat and I particularly love when it breaks down around the 2-minute mark. Really nice bass. I'll post my other favorite mixes by Instrum below as a lil' bonus!

You're a straight up liar if you tell me you don't like "Trap Queen" or any version of it, and in my opinion, this version takes the cake. Still not over this one, let's gooooo

Two Friends & INSTRUM - Trap King (Fetty Wap Ft. Adriana Gomez Cover)

Honestly I'm not sure if you're ready for this mix. It's so fire you just might get burned. Anyone who turns Whitney Houston tunes into something like this is a genius. This was a personal favorite of mine last summer.

Whitney Houston - Dance With Somebody (INSTRUM Remix)

Share My Dreams

Here's another one to help you wind down after a difficult Monday. The deep house duo Mynga takes this down a notch. The repetition is quite relaxing in this one and it just kind of puts me in a good mood! I don't know, maybe even light as a feather, ahem, album artwork. Ok that's a good sign it's time for bed (I won't share my dreams, ok rly bye)... enjoy!

Mynga - Share My Dreams

Reach feat. Rozzi Crane

I don't know too much about liminl, aside from the fact that they can produce quite a good track. I love the vocals in their latest, "Reach," and the beat breakdown is quite nice--nothing too complicated about this one! Have a listen for yourself:

Wonderlove

I first heard LarryKoek's track Premiere Fois (meaning "first time") last year and I loved the little funky vibes of guitar blends that it brought. Listening to it now takes me back to metro rides on ligne 4 between Denfert-Rochereau and Saint Sulpice to and from work. I love that power of nostalgia with a song, but also the ability to create new memories with it. Anyways, LarryKoek's latest is another upbeat and funky little track. "Wonderlove" continues the lighthearted vibes with the guitar blends and the vocals really add something nice here. I can't help but smile to this one!

Smoke Filled Room (Truth & Lies Remix)

Not gonna lie, 2016 is coming in hot. I'm loving this recent remix of this sexy lil jam. Getting fired up for a good year to come... don't let it go up in smoke! Sorry, I'm tired, so of course I had to throw in some nuanced wordplay. Enjoy this gem!

Mako - Smoke Filled Room (Truth & Lies Remix)

World Without You (MÖWE Remix)

Like most blogs/people/online publications/what have you, I'm going back through my favorite songs of 2015, but, well, the fact is that I didn't get to even post most of them. So I've been compiling a list on my Soundcloud if you're interested, or I'll just keep trying to post most of them individually here! Anyways, I really love this remix by the dynamic duo of MÖWE. They add such a nice vibe to this song that is a bit sad but has a good message in the end--"don't forget who it is that you are."

Check out this equally awesome original!

MÖWE - Chasing Clouds

Come To Me (Ofenbach Remix)

I love the way that Ofenbach has transformed this almost country-sounding folkish song into something totally upbeat and danceable. It's one of those tracks that I can listen to over and over again, still dancing, still feeling like I could listen to it again later without ever really getting sick of it. Love it!
