Brit band Delphic paid tribute to the late Amy Winehouse by uploading their 2013 update of "Rehab" on Soundcloud a few days ago. It's a blog-happy trap beat exercise that takes some fun turns during its 5-minute span, and is bound to go down well at house parties. This reminds me how I used to be obsessed with their massive tune "Halcyon" back in 2010, and that I still need to listen to their new follow-up. Grab a free download of the remix below, and check out the video for [...]
Manchester's Delphic are at it again with the latest in a string of confounding actions. In January it was the less than wowing release of 'Collections'. The latest? They've taken 'Rehab' by late cult soul singer Amy Winehouse of the pop genre they've professed to love so much and remixed it. Seems as random as the time they covered Cheryl Cole's '3 Words' in the Radio1 Live Lounge. I'm not a fan of Winehouse, but I'm wondering, was this really necessary? [...]
The London Borough is planning something similar to the Hollywood Stars - but for music types....
To celebrate the start of their European tour, Manchester trio Delphic are giving away a special tribute they made to celebrate late great Amy Winehouse, and her seminal track 'Rehab'. Delphic's tribute doesn't run rough-shot over a classic, but instead tastefully gives the track a new lease of life combining pitched vocals, trap percussion and leftfield synth pop stabs. As well as that, the trio have put together a new mixtape of dance music that ranges from odds and sods from the bass movement to full-fat electronic bangers. [...]

I love the amount of talented producers remixing tracks with new sounds, like what Toronto's Elaquent did with Amy Winehouse's "Stronger Than Me." He released this free download late last night, but it's amazing nonetheless. He changed up the original a bit and gave it a chill, addicting hip hop element, which is a great match to Winehouse 's powerful and blues crooning. Stream and download this for free below.

It's surprises like this that make me love everything about Soundcloud. In the wee hours of the morning, Toronto producer Elaquent hopped on his account to share his stunning remix of Amy Winehouse 's "Stronger Than Me". It arrived with the brief message of " frank is a really good album. enjoy." Agreed, EQ. Also, we do enjoy this, especially considering it's free to download and absolutely hypnotic.

"Oh, Romeo Who would lay down her life? Swallow the poison, pick up the knife? Maybe I'd cried Just a teardrop or two I would not die for you I would not die for you" -- from "Oh Romeo" by Mindy McCready From the autumn of 1997 well into the summer of '98, "Oh Romeo" was one of several tracks on Mindy McCready's sophomore album, If I Don't Stay the Night , that remained in heavy rotation on my CD player. I admired the protagonista of the song [...]

Although I stopped caring about the Grammys a long time ago, the one category that I continue to keep an eye on is Best New Artist, which was always my favorite back when I still gave a damn about the rest of them. This year, the line-up is a bit on the weak side, with the exclusion of Carly Rae Jepsen leaving very little gender variety. (I'd be happy with The Lumineers or Frank Ocean, the two acts behind my two favorite singles of 2012 , but fun. is probably the one to beat [...]
Just a month shy of his 46th birthday I can’t help but wonder why this intuitive and brilliant artist took this quote literally…Kurt Cobain burned out. The consciousness of dying young, fading away, or burning out traces back as early... READ MORE

Back To Frank & Back To Rap (Funky DL Samples Amy Winehouse Volumes 1 & 2) by Funky DL Respected Hip-Hop maestro, Funky DL, innovatively came correct for 2010 with 'Back To Frank', a piece of Amy Winehouse-inspired audio alchemy. The project came about after a conversation with UK Hip-Hop legend, MCD (Silent Eclipse), from which MCD suggested ideas for DL to expand his appeal to audiences that would appreciate his trademark jazz sound. MCD suggested he use an Amy hook. A cautious DL took his [...]

The headline at Spinner reads: "Amy Winehouse Spent Final Night Watching YouTube Videos of Herself." Quite honestly, it's one of the darkest, most crushingly sad headlines we've read in a while. The new detail emerged from the second inquest into Amy Winehouse 's death, which confirmed that she died of accidental alcohol poisoning. Amy's live-in security guard Andrew Morris says the night before she died, he heard her listening to music and watching TV in her bedroom while drinking.

So yesterday, the shortlist for the Brits was announced. A chance to show the world how Britain is leading in the music industry; our steely glint staring into the future. And how do we show this? By, erm, nominating The Rolling Stones for best live band . Amy Winehouse is also in the running for a prize - best female solo artist. Yes, you don't need to go and check on Wikipedia; she'd died before the qualifying period for the 2013 awards. And although she had a couple of posthumous albums released in [...]
