Over U (Chet Porter Remix)

If you haven’t heard of Chet Porter, now is the time. The Toronto-based producer has spent most of the summer making dope tunes and refining his sound. His newest track is this remix of Hitmane‘s “Over U”, which perfectly exhibits Chet’s skill set as a producer. The chill trap beat brings out the exuberant melodies, and the crafty samples taking the catchy drops to a whole other level. Chet incorporates his signature harp-like synth in the breakdown, resulting in intricate melodies that will leave you vibing.

We are thoroughly impressed by the genre-bending approach to Chet Porter’s music, which takes different elements from a song and pieces them together with such delicate maneuvers. Make sure to be on the lookout for more dope tracks coming your way from Chet.

Fusing a little bit of disco, some futuristic synths and retro lo-fi vocals, Australian electronic trio Moon Flask is bringing something special to the table with their first ever single “Pixelated”. We can’t really put a genre on it, but the only thing we are certain of is that this tune is a great showcase of the producing genius of the group. The sustained nonchalent vocals are something of an acquired taste that go surprisingly well with the more upbeat approach. It goes through an epic buildup and elevates your emotions in the prolonged outro.

If you enjoyed this as much as we did, make sure to grab a free download before it’s too late and be on the lookout for more tunes from the talented group.

The beautiful vocals simply cannot go better with the synth melody. It’s one of those summery songs you can never get tired of listening to.

Golden Coast strays away from their usual indie pop route and still manages to deliver, and these remixes just keep getting better and better. If you’re having a shitty day, put on some Golden Coast and they will surely put a smile on your face.
