Slow Skies
Ice Field (Thero Remix)

In the midst of winter, here’s a tune that’ll help you reminisce the good ol’ summertime. Reworking Slow Skies‘ “Ice Field”, NY-based producer Thero has put out yet another classic remix for our hearing pleasure. Subtly speeding up the original track, Thero incorporates a series of tropical synth, including a xylophone melody that is both catchy and memorable. Don’t forget the killer sax line that comes in a little later that absolutely steals the spotlight. The vocals are kept to a minimal, which gives it a more organic feel. The overall feel of the tune is comparably more mature than his other work, while keeping it sexy and fresh. 2015 is going to be a big year for the tropical artist, so stay tuned in for more dope music coming your way!

Nobody Else (Hotel Garuda Remix)

Here we have a juicy dance tune to help ease the mid-week struggle. Electronic duo sensation Hotel Garuda just came out with this remix of Full Crate x Mar‘s track titled “Nobody Else”, and it’s everything you’d expect and more. The already catchy original track that carries a PBR&B vibe is spiced up and turned into this house goodness. Without overdoing it, Hotel Garuda incorporated a futuristic bassline and trap beat that almost resemble the sound of Disclosure. The bouncy and complex drumbeat will make you get off and dance your pants off. That’s guaranteed.

We’re thoroughly impressed by yet another dope track by Hotel Garuda, hats off to the talented duo. Make sure to check out another remix of the same song by Sebastian Carter, or click here while you’re at it. There’s always time for good music.

Daft Punk – One More Time (Luca Lush Remix) [TMN Premiere]

One More Time (LUCA LUSH Remix)

Download

Soundcloud, even with its quirks, bugs and uncertainties, remains an amazing tool for music discovery from both a fan and artist perspective. Over the last couple years, a number of collectives have done a particularly good job curating like-minded artists via SC allowing listeners further opportunity to find producers similar to ones they already know and love. The alaya collective is a perfect example of one such taste-maker introducing us to some of our favorite new artists in the future R&B and chill-bass realm over the last year.

Today, we’re excited to be premiering a new track from New York-based, alaya-affiliated producer Luca Lush, who has been killing the Soundcloud game recently. Before you jump to conclusions about his decision to take on Daft Punk, keep in mind that Luca has already remixed classics like “Let’s Get It On” and “In Da Club” recently with marvelously creative results. His take on “One More Time” is no different as he allows the original vocals to progress over a radiant backdrop before bridging into a glitchy break and finally breaking down completely into an addicting piano melody. By the 2-minute mark Luca has taken full control injecting his unique feels for a truly dynamic, triumphant closing. Grab a free download here and, if you like what you hear, make sure to follow Luca Lush and alaya, who’ve got a new compilation on the way, on Soundcloud at those links.

P.S. If you haven’t heard it already, make sure to check out Luca Lush’s addicting collaboration with Feki, “Club Love,” one of my personal favorites.

T-Pain – Buy You a Drink (SMLE Remix) [TMN PREMIERE]

Buy You A Drink (SMLE Remix)

Soundcloud

In all honesty, this is the first time this writer has found himself typing in the name T-Pain into a post title. Nothing against the Tallahasseean personally, his music has just never really jived with me. Today it does though, but mainly due to the fact it has been set to a wickedly gorgeous future bass backdrop. Cheers to SMLE for broadening my musical horizons.

Taking the heavily treated from the original, this happy-go-lucky producer has dialed up a vibe-heavy interpretation of “Buy You a Drink.” Its aesthetic nature comes to life with calculated creaks, soaring synths, and booming bass, all crackling with layers of rich atmosphere and melody. It’s definitely one to come home and chill out to after a long night at the club. It’s also probably ideal for bringing someone home with you. We’ll let you experiment with that and get back to us.

First things first though. Can we get that drink now,SMLE?

[Future] GoldLink – Ay Ay (Gravez VIP) (feat. Drewsthatdude & Scolla)

Ay Ay (Gravez VIP) (ft. Drewsthatdude & Scolla)

Download

Atlanta-based producer Gravez has positioned himself nicely for 2015 closing out last year with an onslaught of strong releases, both originals and remixes. His take on Drake‘s “6 God” was featured by multiple editors in our recent best of 2014 list, but it’s only one of many future hip-hop productions that has gained him a rapidly growing following on SoundCloud. For his last remix of 2014, Gravez unleashed a complete re-imagination of “Ay Ay,” the standout track from Ninja-favorite emcee GoldLink. With some production assistance from Drewsthatdude and vocal work by Scolla, the VIP keeps Link’s vocals in tact while transforming the booty-bouncing original into a soulful number with a distinct southern, future bounce.

With artists like Rome Fortune, Young Thug and iLoveMakonnen pushing the envelope as emcees in Atlanta, Gravez seems to be carving his own lane among the wave of producers creating unconventional backdrops helping ATLiens stay ahead of the curve sonically. We’re looking forward to what Gravez has in store for us this year between his original work, remixes and collaborations. In the meantime, enjoy this unique cut above, grab a free download and head to Gravez’s Soundcloud page for more gems.

[Chill] Cavalier- Flirt (Feat. DrewsThatDude) (R. Kelly Remix)

Flirt (feat. DrewsThatDude)

Buy

Producers Cavalier and DrewsThatDude link up on this remix of one of my personal favorites from the King of R&B, R. Kelly. These two really breathe major life back into this 2007 hit. I can vividly remember the weight that this song used to carry when I was back in High School. The lyrical delivery from Kells is as magical as ever. This rework feels natural and lures you in with its soft and elegant intro. Once that bass and melody come in though, this one really goes off. Not the best song for a complicated couple to enjoy together, yet I would still suggest it as a great night cap. It’s been a busy winter for Cavalier as he recently released a six track project entitled PIETA, which you can find on Bandcamp. DrewsThatDude has been quite active as well. Head over to his soundcloud to find some awesome work with Gravez, B N J M N, C. Justice, Fortune & much more. This is a perfect R&B tune to start off 2015. A tip of the cap is truly deserved.
