[Electro House] The Partysquad ft. Maikal X – Bombshell

The Partysquad ft. Maikal X
Bombshell OUT NOW!

Dutch duo The Partysquad is back with another festival hit, and we just simply can’t get enough of this one! “Bombshell” is a reggae-influenced electro dance track that displays a different sound the duo is working towards. The commanding vocals from Maikal X perfectly set the scene for the drop, which is filled with catchy melodies and a series of heavyhitting synths. The drums complement the trumpet melodies, resembling the sound of a drumline at a sports match. There’s no question that the epic factor of the track will make you sing along, clap your hands and dance your pants off.

Released under their very own Rebel Yard Music record label, this song will be a hit for sure. If you want to get pumped up and tenfold your adrenaline level, listen to this epic track. The Partysquad never disappoints.

[Electronica] Nicole & Zuri – 21 Questions (50 Cent Cover)

It’s no easy feat to choose an untouchable hip-hop classic like ’21 Questions’ as the basis for an experimental cover, but two talented women in the Australian electronic scene have turned an unlikely scenario into a success that is so damn satisfying. Nicole Millar of Peking Duk’s ‘High’ fame and the forward-thinking Zuri Akoko have combined their unique skills to flip the iconic lyrics and breathe a fresh perspective onto a track that others would dare not try and touch. The allure of this version comes in their ability to take inspiration from the song’s underlying emotion and craft an interpretation that lets them speak through their own artistic strengths. The sultry vocals of Nicole meld with the hauntingly beautiful atmosphere of Zuri’s sound to create a piece of music that will seduce your ears into instant obsession.

It’s just one of a series of gorgeous covers recently from the pair, with similarly enchanting adaptations of Shlohmo and Mya rounding out this incredible showcase of musical prowess. No doubt you’ll be craving for more of these in the near future once you’ve peeped all three below.

Introducing Our Resident Artists for May – Moving Castle [TMN RESIDENCY]

[TMN Premiere] Native People – Tapes (The Citrus Clouds Remix)

Native People
Tapes (The Citrus Clouds Remix)

UK four-piece Native People have a fascinating sound that combines indie rock and pop guitar licks with synths and a distinct sensibility for dance percussion. Unsurprisingly, their winning style has been picking up some serious steam over the last year. As they prepare for the release of their debut EP, Native People have shared a remix of “Tapes,” the title track, courtesy London’s The Citrus Clouds and we’re excited to be bringing you the premiere.

The original track is an upbeat indie pop hit layered with groovy drums and an addicting guitar lick perfectly accentuated by the accompanying vocals. The Citrus Clouds’ rendition proves equally stunning replacing the rock instrumentation with steel drums and lush synths for an incredibly smooth electronic journey. Even with a tempo change and a shift to tropical elements, the original’s infectious melody reigns supreme on this remix.

Get your summer on with this sunny, uplifting tune above. Native People’s Tapes EP, which will include this remix, drops May 25th and can be pre-ordered on iTunes here. For all the UK ninjas out there, you can grab tickets to their EP launch show on May 21st here.

[Progressive] Destiny – Time (LYNOS x SHUGG remix)

Destiny
Time (LYNOS x SHUGG remix)

This track is the perfect example of bringing creative minds together. LA-based producer LYNOS teamed up with singer/saxophonist SHUGG to rework Destiny‘s “Time”. Fusing R&B and progressive elements, the musicians came together and created something very unique off of Destiny’s magical vocals. Besides the epic synth driving the tune, SHUGG’s saxophone LYNOS’ electric guitar fill in with the heavy sounding melodies. Although the track is barely three minutes long, the catchiness and complexity of it are nothing short of amazing.

LYNOS is going to keep the ball rolling with this release, following his last remix of Phoebe Ryan’s “Mine”. He’s definitely someone to watch in the near future.

[Future Bass] Galantis – Gold Dust (CRNKN & Hotel Garuda Remix)

Galantis
Gold Dust (CRNKN & Hotel Garuda Remix)

There’s no question that Galantis‘ “Gold Dust” has won the hearts of many during the short period of its release. The melodic elements of the tune have given us feels from the beginning. This official remix by Hotel Garuda and CRNKN took on a different path and should help further skyrocket their fan base.

The emerging all-star combination of Hotel Garuda and CRNKN fuse their defining sounds together to create a potential club anthem. A fast house beat followed by pitched down vocals start off the tune. The progressive approach is kept and made for a great buildup for the future bass drop. Credits to them for keeping it original and not caving to specific genres. This track can be found on the official remix EP for “Gold Dust,” which is available on iTunes now.

Very First Breath ft. Irfane (StéLouse Remix)

It’s been a hot minute since SteLouse‘s last release. The wait is finally over, as the Denver-based producer remixes Hudson Mohawke‘s “Very First Breath”.

The unique vocals will hit you right in the feels and take you on an emotion roller coaster as the crafty synthline takes over. It’s one of those tunes that will stick with you for a long time.

It’s no easy task taking on a Hudmo track, but SteLouse definitely nailed it and made it his own. Grab this as a free download, and make sure to stay tuned as we’re expecting some fresh original tunes coming real soon!
