Portugal. The Man
Modern Jesus (Charli XCX Remix)

Alaskan alternative band Portugal. The Man released one of the strongest projects of the 2013 with Evil Friends and have continued to keep their fans engaged while on tour with some pretty unique remixes from the likes of Alt-J, Danny Brown and Mike D of the Beastie Boys. The latest re-work, posted to the band’s YouTube page this morning, may be the best yet as the U.K.’s Charli XCX transforms PTM’s “Modern Jesus” into a minimal, airy electronic masterpiece.With drums that could easily originate from a rap instrumental, the verses gain a certain groove and smoothness working to compliment their content. Meanwhile, there is a distinct progression that culminates in a stellar closing to the song. Peep above or check out the video, which features a sketch being made over a picture of Charli, below.

In honor of the release of her new album, True Romance, today in the UK, Charli XCX decided to unleash the remix to her standout track, “What I Like” featuring Danny Brown. Charming and aggressive are two words that usually come to mind when describing Charli XCX’s music, and coincidentally enough, those words could also be applied to the eccentric Danny Brown as well. Danny’s proven over the past few weeks, that he’s not afraid to hop on just about anything, as he’s gone on a promotional tear in anticipation of his new album, Old. While “What I Like” was already an infectious pop tune, the inclusion of Danny Brown this time around really adds some new dimensions to the track, making it a must listen for fans of both artists. Make sure to grab a copy of True Romance when it hits our shores tomorrow.

Charli XCX‘s track “You (Ha Ha Ha)” — which we covered not too long ago — has received the remix treatment. It’s still prepped and ready for the dance floor, but comes equipped with a slightly more ambient weightlessness. The rework is part of a You (Ha Ha Ha) [Remixes] EP, featuring the likes of MS MR and Goldroom, due out next month.

[NEW] Charli XCX – You (Ha Ha Ha)

Posted by michelleg - December 20, 2012

“You” (Ha Ha Ha) is a stellar new song from the young English artist Charli XCX. Debuting on BBC 1 Radio just the other day, it is built around Gold Panda‘s instrumental tune “You”. Everything from the shaky, flickering effects to her honeyed pop vocals makes this love-lost track so worthy of hours of replay. If you want more of her, be sure to check out our post on her recent Super Ultra Mixtape.

Posted by tylercole - December 5, 2012

Although not as popular as their other Odd Future affiliates, The Internet graced the interwebs with a fresh new remix to the UK pop sensation Charli XCX’s hit “You’re The One”. Taking the already infectious single, the group members reworked the pop-heavy beat, infusing it with more funk and soul. Using heavy staccato key rips and synth bass tunes, the melodic and atmospheric vibe coupled with Charli’s soft and haunting vocals definitely make this an impressively addictive remix. Be sure to check it out below.
