Yes, I’m back after a bit of a (personal) break. I’ve been digging around for cool remixes, mashups and edits as usual and I ran into this piece of disco genius. It is exactly what happens when you take The Hustle and blend it with some Daft Punk lyrics. Too good, friends! Have a listen and enjoy. Do the hustle!

Why don’t you play the game….

Because it’s Friday and I seriously need something cheery and light.

Oh Land: Sun of Gun, ForOrchestra by Walt Ribeiro

With a new album titled Move Like This coming out on May 10, The Cars are back with their easily recognizable rock and roll sound. It’s like they never went away! The first single, ‘Sad Song’, has a video already and you can enjoy it below.

What can I say about this remix. It’s Metronomy + Fred Falke. Need I say more?

And everyone knows you’re trouble
Cause you read it in a big book
And now you giving me the look look…

I’m on the fence on this one. Definitely cannot stand Lady GaGa’s ‘Born This Way’ in its original form, but it’s somehow passable (and even enjoyable) in its mashup form. Thank you, Mr. Skouteris.

What do you think? Yay or nay?

Perfect for a slow dance. Or an even slower kiss. You choose. Happy Friday!

I know we’re going crazy, but I need you now

This song is made a thousand times better after the RAC remix treatment. Don’t believe me? You decide. Listen to the remix and original below. Share your thoughts in the comments section.

In my search for new sounds and beats on Soundcloud, I discovered Jonathan Perez, aka Fabritzzio, from Buenos Aires, Argentina. He produces his own electronic music, along the lines of electro and French House, which is my favourite music genre of all. He’s remixed Jamiroquai, DatA, Daft Punk, Mr Oizo & Gaspard Augé, among others. As always I am amazed at the creativity of up and coming music producers, who take songs we know and love and turn them into something new – sometimes to great effect, other times not so much. Jonathan has done very well with what he’s done so far in my opinion, and his work is definitely worth listening to.

I’ve posted my favourite of his tracks below: Breakbot’s Baby I’m Yours (Fabritzzio remix).

Have a great Monday!

Que veux-tu, je suis folle de toi
Mon coeur ne bat plus quand je te vois
Tu es beau, tu es grand, tu es fascinant
T'as des chevaux, des poneys, faisons des enfants...

Couldn’t get around to sharing this until now, but isn’t it amazing? This remix is crazy awesome! Do yourselves a favour and check out Madeon, 16-year old pop/house music producer prodigy from France. His work is absolutely brilliant. He takes a great song and makes it IMMENSE! You can’t say I don’t share.
Bon week-end!

I've been to paradise

I've been to paradise

It's at the end of the railroad tracks

On the darkest edge of night...

Something to get us going on sunny Saturday morning. Wishing everyone a happy weekend!
