LOLO ft. Giggs - Gangsters (XYconstant Remix)


You might recognise the work of UK producer XYconstant from his release of his debut track 'Hunny' last December or previous remixes he's done for MNEK & Disclosures 'White Noise'. 

This time he's back showcasing his skills on LOLO's track with Giggs 'Gangsters', complimenting the vocals with an undeniably captivating and bouncy house beat. This remix is getting some decent buzz online and is proving to be pretty popular with listeners so expect to hear more from XYconstant in 2014.

Gorgon City - No More

North London production duo Matt & Kye, better known as Gorgon City have well and truly proved that they are some of the hottest new producers to break their way into the music scene. Hotly tipped for 2014, their latest release 'No More' follows up their previous club successor 'Ready For Your Love' and sounds as though it's going to get just as much attention. 'No More' features the stunning vocals of Liv and is available as a free download  ahead of the release of their forthcoming debut album. Real catchy track this one, expect to hear it receiving a lot of radio and club play in the coming months.

Ty Dolla $ign - Or Nah (The Weeknd Remix)


Not usually the kind of tune I go for, but this track is so smooth I could't resist. The Weeknd remixes Ty Dolla $ign and Wiz Khalifa's collaboration track 'Or Nah' by incorporating his sultry vocal ability into the verses; this track is basically pure unadulterated sex music - if very explicit, slightly misogynistic lyrics aren't your thing you might want think twice about pressing play - it's not really the kind of tune you want to blare out in the workplace or during a cosy night in with your grandparents. Although if the cashmere vocals and rumbling-sub beats will no doubt have you coming back for more, consider yourself in luck because this track is available as a free download from The Weeknd's Soundcloud page.

Beyonce - Drunk N Luv (Diplo Remix)

Unless you've been living under a rock or in a sound-proof room or something equally as ridiculous, the chances are you've become familiarised with Beyonce's current smash-hit 'Drunk In Love' which marks her ever-awaited return to the charts. The tune has been receiving the remix treatment from left, right and centre from various producers and artists alike that want to take the track to a new place, and this remix does just that. My personal favourite version of this track comes from none other than the king-pin himself Diplo - no stranger to remixing Beyonce's big-hits, this is the version I'd expect to get a club bouncing.
No info on a release of this version.

The Fugees - Ready Or Not (Whiiite Remix)


It's a bold move remixing the classic of all classics, The Fugees '96 smash hit 'Ready Or Not', but Trap music champion Whiiite does a good job in doing the track justice in bringing the song into the modernised bass-music spectrum. This track was released free from the producer in order to celebrate him hitting 50k likes on Facebook, pretty impressive stuff.
Go grab this track as a free download over at his Facebook page;

Flite - Featherfall


The first i've heard from producer/vocalist Flite, based in Virginia over in the USA.
Gorgeous track, gaining some decent recognition right now as well and deservedly so - that drum breaks so nicely in with the melodic production.
Track is out now, grab it HERE.

Larry Fisherman - Diablo

Mac Miller, for those of you who follow the blog you will know that i'm a persistent fan, is back under his new production alias Larry Fisherman with his track 'Diablo'. Mac has produced the track sampling John Coltrane and Duke Ellingtons 'In a Sentimental Mood', keeping the euphonious ethos of the original track and featuring his ever-insightful lyrics and vocals. Just goes to show that this guy is the real deal in all fields of the music industry. We've heard him rap, seen him manage himself and now he's impressing with production skills too.
No info on a release.
