Tuesday(Remix)

Soundcloud

Are you currently absolutely killing it? Are things going so well that you just can’t even? Did your crush recently hit you up to hang out? Did you just win $100 on a scratcher? Are you experiencing some sort of deliriously happy moment right now? If you answered yes to any of those things, get ready to take it in to overdrive with this remix from Norweigan producer, Coucheron.

Flipping the script on the 808-heavy original, this remix of “Tuesday” has a soulful groove twisted around some expertly sampled vocals. Utilizing the ethereal synths from the background in the original, Coucheron flawlessly brings this back full circle, while giving it a whole new look and feel. Those rolling snare hits, booming kicks, and funky-ass bassline take this tune into a danceable tempo, creating smile-inducing grooves worthy of your current “I’m in the best mood ever” vibes.

If you’re opting to avoid a hangover tomorrow at work by not going to the club on a Tuesday, feel free to re-work the lyrics. We suggest, “I’m comin’ up on a Tuesday,” or “Fillin’ up my cup on a Tuesday.” In fact, if you want to lighten the mood on that influenza, you could belt out “I’m throwin’ up on a Tuesday.” If you pull that last one off, please record it, as you will be an absolute legend in our books.

Keep on smilin’, ninjas.

[Deep/Tech-House] option4 – You’re ILL

Denver based dance architect option4 has been on what we like to call around the music industry a “tear” as of late; with releases on iconic labels like Australian based Sweat it Out!, Diplo’s Mad Decent and an EP on one of house music’s most revered imprints, NYC’s Nurvous Records all within the last 12 months. So when we heard he was touching back down on the digital label he founded (and one we’ve been keeping up on), Night Supply, to release this latest slice of hooky underground house, “You’re ILL”, well we were just smitten. Featuring one of the best plucked samples we’ve had the pleasure of consuming this year, “You’re ILL” riffs The Pack’s breakout hit “Vans” like many others have tried, but prevails mightily over them all. That aurally addictive vocal of “Got My Vans On..” rides front and center over a versant melody most of the Dirtybird crew would covet, instilling equal parts classic jack and hip-hop infused soul. It really has been a pleasure witnessing option4’s star shine brighter with every passing release as we’ve been covering his ethos branded take of “More House than Tech, More Deep than Disco” since its inception. Stream option4’s “You’re ILL” above, and let’s bring it back to the club just like he did.

ELEL – 40 Watt (JACKLNDN Remix) [TMN PREMIERE]

Posted by Clayton Warwick - November 11, 2014

We may have an arctic blast draped across the fine city of Denver, Colorado, but as far as our ears are concerned, it’s bright, warm and sunny. Those damn snowflakes can’t bring us down. No sir. JACKLNDN is making sure of that with his delicious trop-house take on Nashville outfit ELEL’s tune “40 Watt.”

The original tune stole our hearts with it’s refined lo-fi sounds, giving us hazy vocals laid over booming percussion work which served as the backbone for the glitchy, and at times manic soundscape. Gone are the fluttering Disney-esque synths which provided that hipster whimsy that made us simply beam, and in their place are a xylophone-style melody that has us nodding our heads in approval. The two, in contrast, are very different, yet the remix brings a persona of its own, while still properly paying homage to the original.

With some expertly sampled vocals, London-based JACKLNDN has once again showed us why he gets called upon to dial up tasty house remixes of already solid tunes. Make sure to follow him on Soundcloud so you can keep up with future releases like this one.

[Deep House] Just Kiddin – Thinking About It (Fabich & Ferdinand Weber Remix)

Thinking About It (Fabich & Ferdinand Weber Remix)

Buy

We promised big things from Fabich and Ferdinand Weber in 2014, and while we’re sitting back wondering how exactly this year has gone by so quickly, they’re taking yet another step forward with a release on Pete Tong’s label FFRR in the next month. Taking on official remix duties for Just Kiddin’s dance hit ‘Thinking About It’, the pair have stripped back the club heavy vibes and applied a silky touch in their signature deep style. Don’t think this means a lack of dance-ability to any extent, because the groove involved here is still just as hard to resist. Just take it as an entirely new way to enjoy the track, one that accentuates the soulfulness of the lyrics and favors a soothed mind over a sweaty body. In any case, this one’s got just the right feel for what we need right now.

[NEW] Lorde – Flicker (Kanye West Rework)

With the help of Lorde‘s curation, the soundtrack for the latest installment of The Hunger Games is shaping up to be quite a compilation featuring a diverse selection of artists including CHVRCHES, Raury, Major Lazer and HAIM among others. The latest release from the soundtrack brings together two of music’s most dynamic superstars as Kanye West puts his spin on one of Lorde’s contributions to the album, “Yellow Flicker Beat.” As always, ‘Ye stuns creating an ominously spectacular progression accentuating the original’s powerful vocals.

This one bodes well for the upcoming Kanye West album that we’ve been hearing rumors about recently. While the overarching sound of his most recent album, Yeezus, is certainly evoked, West continues to march forward sonically incorporating his more experimental projects in perfect doses as he grows artistically. In some ways, his current position parallels the 808s & Heartbreak days in the sense that he’s finding ways to reinvent himself, absorb what works and incorporate it as a creative tool moving forward.

Enjoy the re-work, appropriately called “Flicker,” above. The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Pt. 1 is in theaters November 21st and its soundtrack, which can be pre-ordered here, is out on November 17th.

Two Bodies feat. Emma Louise (Lido Remix)

We get beyond excited every time Lido drops a new remix, and this one lets us peek into a different side of the Norwegian producer. Incorporating sustained keys with Emma Louise‘s pleasant vocals, Lido takes us on a dreamy adventure with this remix of Flight Facilities‘ “Two Bodies”. Keeping a minimalist approach with his usual chill trap music, the talented musician works his magic through jazzy chords, muffled noise samples and other seemingly easy maneuvers. It’s slow, mysterious and emotionally-driven without being overdone. Lido definitely takes the cake with this one.

Make sure to check out Flight Facilities’ new album Down To Earth. Lido’s official remix will be featured on an upcoming 12-inch release, out 11/24!
