Ludacris – Stand Up (Candyland’s OG Remix) [TMN PREMIERE]

Candyland
Stand Up (Candyland's OG Remix)

It has been a hot, hot, HOT minute since we last heard anything from Candyland…too long if you ask us. Well ninjas, today you’re in for a delicious new treat from the Santa Barbara duo and their latest remix of a total throwback anthen, “Stand Up” by Ludacris. If you’re familiar with the original, then you’re probably re-living all those times this song would come on at high school dances, in grocery stores, and in grandma’s minivan. Grandma knew how to turn up before it was even cool.

Candyland took this Ludacris classic and turned it into an absolute banger that will undeniably be heard during festival season come this Spring. With a mid-tempo, moobah-esque intro, piercing siren synth progressions, and an unexpected bangin’ breakdown, Candyland give us a justified reason to stand up and go do beer bongs on a Wednesday. It may not be Tuesday and we may not be at a club that’s going up, but it’s clear to us that ILOVEMAKONNEN and Drake don’t understand that Wednesday is in fact the appropriate day to get weird. So get ready to get up  and goin” with this one ninjas because Candyland is about to make you move some type of way.

[Future] Just A Gent ft. R O Z E S – Limelight (Louis Futon Remix)

Just A Gent
Limelight (Louis Futon Remix) [Free Download]

Just A Gent is enough of a powerhouse on his own when it comes to his music, but when you add Louis Futon to the mix, something special is BOUND to happen. Surely enough, it did. Louis Futon takes “Limelight” into another stratosphere, pulling back the reigns on JAG’s blistering and wildly addicting “Lovestep” sound and crafts a slick remix with his smooth, hip-hop influenced futuristic sound.

Louis Futon is notorious for transforming on every release; reimagining everything from Mos Def to Kill Paris, while simultaneously bringing heat through his own originals. The build ups are deceptive on this newest remix, since the drops come in tough but crisp upon delivery and resolve nicely as the tune progresses. R O Z E S delicate vocals are preserved throughout, which is a key element and wrap everything up together into a nice present for the middle of your week.

Tour Dates:
16 Jan 2015 Zhivago – Adelaide
17 Jan 2015 El Topo – Sydney

[Future House] Timbaland Ft. Keri Wilson – The Way I Are (Chachi Remix)

ChachiOfficial
The Way I Are (Chachi Remix)

NY-based veteran producer Chachi released this juicy remix of a semi-throwback track by originally by Timbaland and Keri Hilson, and it certainly showcases the producer’s skillset, as he fuses future house with electropop and a hint of hip-hop. The tune starts off with a looping vocal sample that continues to drive throughout the whole song. The main melody is still there, reminiscent of an old Top 40 track that makes you sing along no matter what. The bass drop features a series of hardhitting future bass maneuvers that would leave you headbanging ’til your head falls off. It’s catchy, it’s a banger, and we absolutely want to hear more. Make sure to grab a free download of the track or click here. Chachi is definitely an exciting producer to watch in this coming year.

CRUISR – All Over (Bear//Face Remix) [TMN PREMIERE]

CRUISR
All Over (Bear//Face Remix)

Part of our philosophy here at TMN is to give every sound a chance. As a pretty diverse blog, not limiting our music selection to a specific genre, we tend to receive a fairly large amount of submissions. But one thing we will promise is every single submission is heard.

As a result of the music assortment we provide, there are many occasions that we find an original track we fall in love with, and not much later we start receiving remix submissions with quite different takes on that same song. Only a few months ago we posted CRUISR’s indie rock piece, “All Over.” Today we bring you Bear//Face’s remix. Taking the original, which emanates nothing but Cali vibes, Bear//Face gives it euphoric, dream-like make-over that puts your ears in a musical nirvana.

If you like what you hear, make sure to catch CRUISR on their tour with X Ambassadors! Check out the tour dates below.

1/14 – New York, NY @ The Studio at Webster Hall

[Future House] Rae Sremmurd – No Type (PatrickReza Remix)

Rae Sremmurd
No Type (PatrickReza Remix) (Free Download)

Yes, there was a point in time where we made the call to never post another Rae Sremmurd original or subsequent remix. Since we try to keep thing all sunshine and unicorns with our reviews, we won’t get into the reasoning, but we’re pretty sure you can guess why.

We’ve been long time fans of Patrick Reza, and the only reason why we checked it out is because of that long-time adoration. We’ll be honest, up until the 1:00 minute mark, it was definitely going to be a “no” from us. Then the drop came.

Patrick Reza is trying out some new sounds, and they’re pretty damn impressive. Taking a departure from his usual bass-heavy dubstep style, Reza has crafted a tune that boasts a happy medium between future house, trap, and dubstep at a heart-pounding 128 BPM. This is new look and feel for him and his brand, but he still leaves little breadcrumbs throughout that bring us back to those razor sharp sounds he drew us in with so many years ago.

Pick up this gem from Patrick on his Facebook page for three easy payments of free-ninety-nine.

Mammals – Depraved (Jahnne Remix) [TMN PREMIERE]

Mammals (Official)
Depraved (Jahnne Remix)

Mammals comes back around to us with assistance from a Melbourne-based producer, Jahnne. This re-work transforms a darkly-themed original into a deep house effort. It’s steadiness is undeniable. The shimmering vocals are powerful and make it a perfect wavelength for driving at night or in a dance club. ‘Depraved’ originally appeared on the Animalia EP, exposed back in August. Really great work here by whoever hooked these two up. This is a fierce combination of electronic styles. Jahnne impresses with his remix and once the synths pick up, it’s a production that firmly grips us. He really knows how to create an emotional connection with listeners. You can find more of his melancholic dance music on Soundcloud. Mammals will continue to spread their project around with great collaborations like this. It must be exciting to extend the life of an EP in such a constructive way. With five dates booked this January, it should be a fun month for them. I’d love to hear a drop of this remix live.
