[House] Marvin Gaye – How Sweet It Is (Eau Claire Remix)

Posted by Ivan Chung - March 5, 2015

Marvin Gaye
How Sweet It Is (Eau Claire Remix)

DC-based producer Eau Claire is a magician when it comes to resurrecting oldies. The classic Marvin Gaye tune “How Sweet It Is” gets the Eau Claire makeover, and she gives it a deeper factor than the usual disco approach. Kicking off with a series of oriental synths, the tune has a simple but dreamy vibe. The keys go pleasantly well with the hollowed vocals, and accentuate the feel-good element of the track. There’s so much positive energy, it’s no wonder this classic remix deserves every bit of attention. We just couldn’t get enough of this goodness.

Tell Me (Prince Fox Remix)

What happens when future meets downtempo? This track has the answer. Australian duo Atlas Bound has been carrying the torch for Next Wave Records by releasing a series of juicy tunes, including “Tell Me”, which is remixed by NY-based producer Prince Fox, who once again proves that his music knows no boundaries and manages to turn anything into epicness.

This ominous tune gets the Prince Fox treatment with bold synths and statement drums. Without tweaking the soulful vocals that much, Prince Fox gives it a Flume-y vibe without overshadowing the powerful vocals that resemble the voice of singer Alex Clare. The combination of the two types of music is surprisingly addicting. If you’re fan of either one of these artists, this track will be stuck with you for a long time. Make sure to grab a free download of this tune via ToneDen or click here. We’re excited to see what these up and comers have in store for us.

Swedish electronic duo Galantis is quickly rising to the top of the game since their release of “Runaway”, as they came out with its music video last month.

“Overload” is not your usual tropical tune. It possesses an authentic sound that gives off an organic and casual vibe.

Incorporating live banjo and keys into the track, Life of Dillon makes it look so easy with this fun and joyful tune. The powerful vocals soar throughout the song, carrying a catchy melody and positive message. This song will work its magic into people’s hearts, and you just can’t help but smile after giving it a listen.
