DJ Fresh vs. Jay Fay - Dibby Sound (Sigma Remix)

A lot of big industry names lending themselves to the production of this track - this is 'Dibby Sound', the forthcoming DJ Fresh single in which he's collaborated with St. Louis producer Jay Fay and even invited along the legendary garage vocalist Ms Dynamite to create a flavoursome, big-beat tune that sounds as if it has quite possibly taken some influence from DJ Fresh's previous collab partner Diplo.

Anyway, as if there weren't enough names on the track - London-duo Sigma have lent their remixing skills to give it their signature drum and bass sound. These two haven't been keeping quiet in the scene at the moment, with the success of their latest single 'Rudeboy' which I featured not too long ago still rumbling on, this latest remix should keep the hype surrounding them well and truly alive - as well as getting dance floors packed with happy ravers.

Remix is released alongside the original 02.02.14

Shift K3Y - Make It Good

London-based and hugely under-rated producer Shift K3Y is back with his latest production 'Make It Good', a hedonistic dance track with a catchy chorus and a funky house piano-loop which raises all the signals for it to become a huge hit in the dance clubs over the coming months, as well as a tune thats going to be swilling around in your head for hours after listening.

Once again, download is free for those willing to head on over to the official Shift K3Y website, linked below;

TEEMID & Joie Tan - Crazy

Pop-production remixer TEEMID teams up with youtube cover songstress Joie Tan to deliver a renewed version of a past chart-topper.

A real kick-back tune this one -
as soon as that play button was hit I could feel myself sinking into my chair whilst I indulged in this astounding and delicate cover of Gnarls Barkleys smash-hit 'Crazy'.

A familiar song to most, but covered in a way which puts it in a league of its own.

Pure bliss on the ears, and it seems like I'm not the only one that thinks so - this cover has put the viral music scene into a spin and is currently sitting on top of the hype machine chart.
And if the track alone isn't enough to sweeten your tastebuds, it's been given out as a free download. Spoilt.

KAASI - Where We Started

Silky vocals from Jessica Sophie accompanies the smooth, progressive and smothering production from  Kaasi's latest release 'Where We Started'. The kind of music that will make you feel warm inside even on the coldest days of these winter months.

This track has been getting a whole bunch of recognition amongst the house scene since its unveiling back in September - the fact that it's been given out as a free download almost feels like a robbery, but I don't hear anyone complaining. Love it.

Mapei - Don't Wait

This is the pop music of the future - an incredible and underrated vocal piece from upcoming artist Mapei that has been coated in a delicate electronic production, heavily infused with repetitive kick-drums and finger-snap patterns that give the track its stand-out edge and catchiness; persuading its listeners to keep their fingers on the replay. Standing firmly on the fence between an upbeat jam and a down-tempo ballad, the track is versatile and thus appropriate for any circumstance, another attribute that makes it a strong contender to be a big hit in the pop industry.

Really looking forward to seeing how this track progresses and what that means for Mapei's career.

The yet-to-be-titled album will be out next year on Downtown Records, but 'Don't Wait' is available to purchase now (grab it here)

And if this isn't enough; the Kingdom remix is an equally pleasing experience for the ears - give it a listen HERE

Hybrid Minds - Music Talks

For anyone who knows me personally, or who is a regular follower of the blog, it's not a challenge to realise that i'm a humungous supporter of Hybrid Minds - deservedly one of the biggest drum and bass acts emerging into the scene at the moment. It's been just over a week since their debut album 'Mountains' was released to the public (available to purchase HERE) and the feedback i've seen people giving has been nothing but positive.

We'd already been graced with a bunch of tasters prior to the albums release, but giving the album the full indulgence it deserves made me realise that there isn't one track that I wouldn't want to showcase; however, i've decided to go for 'Music Talks' - a liquid masterpiece that touches on what Hybrid Minds are all about - gentle, atmospheric D&B which makes you want to lay back and let all those worries you may have melt away. Anyway as the track recommends, i'll let the music do the talking.

Justin Timberlake - TKO (Black Friday Remix)

It's Black Friday weekend and it seems as good a time as any for Justin Timberlake to go ahead and share this exclusive remix of his latest track 'TKO' and I can safely say I don't think any of us were expecting to hear a version like this - i'm not a huge fan of the original, but calling forth on the help of current rap dons A$AP, J. Cole and Pusha T, who all go in on their respective verses - along with a production re-work from the big man Timbaland himself, this track is transformed. Hard tune.
