AMTRAC

If you haven't heard of AMTRAC, it's really time to get on this train. Heh. I first posted one of his remixes (When Will I See You Again) last January. Seriously though.. staying on track, I can't get his songs out of my head. They're great for a run, some dancing, what have you, and I can't get enough.

AMTRAC - Darkest Sound




AMTRAC - Lover



This one might be my favorite.. just hold on.

AMTRAC - Hold on



And this one is pretty old, but still awesome.

AMTRAC - Those Days


Oops / I'm back

Haha remember that time I thought I could run a music blog? Oops, my bad. I'm back to share with you some of my favorite tunes of the moment. And hopefully I'm back to stay, but who knows because life is pretty in your face... and sometimes I don't want to stare at my computer screen but would rather live outside of it. Anywaysss here are some of my recent obsessions!

So I was oddly attracted to the original of this track by Travi$ Scott, just because it was an unexpected slow jam but with a nice counteracting bass. Anyways, this cover by Moxie Raia has taken it above and beyond. Her soft voice works wonders.

Moxie Raia - Drugs You Should Try It (Travis Scott Cover)



I'm really in love with this upbeat remix of Flight Facilities track, "Two Bodies." Don't know much about Henri, but he slayed the original and his remix always makes me want to boogie. Let's move.

Flight Facilities - Two Bodies (Henri Remix)



When a track breaks things down without being annoying, I can't help but applaud that. There are so many directions that it could go at that point, and to make a choice of a good drop is something to be proud of. A little rap seasoned on top never hurts either!! This one is fire.

TOKiMONSTA - Put It Down (feat. Anderson .Paak & KRNE)



RÜFÜS has definitely been putting out some super sounds recently, and his "Like An Animal" is no exception. However, with a little twist on top of it by the likes of Dom Dolla, it's pure magic. Rawr.

Ok so I've been a fan of Kill Them With Colour for awhile; they put out a unique kind of song that isn't always easy to categorize, but of course I find that beautiful and absolutely adore the blending of trap and trance and beyond. That being said, Get High VIP is fucking fantastic.

Kill Them With Colour - Get High VIP



That's it for now, but I'll definitely be making an effort to post more regularly! Xoxo

Y//2//K

If you're looking for some good slow Sunday tracks to not get out of bed to, Y//2//K has got you more than covered. (I'm pretty sure it's just one guy, but I can't find one definitive bio.) Of course, Band Of Horses' "The Funeral" is slow enough by itself, but imagine it even slower... and sadder... Y//2//K nailed it, especially with all the added hip hop trills in there.

Y//2//K x Honest - Funeral



Even though I personally prefer red, this version of white wine isn't too shabby. Check it out:

Y//2//K - White Wine ft. Mark Johns



This might be my favorite... I love reflecting on Waka Flocka's super deep and meaningful lyrics, and this slowed down version is really perfect for that. In all seriousness, like who comes up with this? Yes, but no, but yes...

Y//2//K - there are things you can't forget



**Bonus: yeah, he did a remix of that Sophia Grace song, and I will admit to liking it.

Sophia Grace - Best Friends (Y//2//K Remix)

I Don't Fuck With Classics (Big Sean x The Knocks)

The Hood Internet: I love you, please never stop making the best, simplest, smoothest mashups in the game. This mix is perfectly counterbalanced between Big Sean's aggressive "lil stupid ass bitch" calling and the classic groove of The Knocks. This seamless combination puts me at ease quite nicely.

Bloom (Lane 8 Remix)

I'm loving this simultaneously upbeat yet perfectly ambient remix of one of my favorite Odesza tracks by Lane 8. You can't help but let it put you in a better mood. Such a good combination.
