[REMIX] Aretha Franklin – “One Step Ahead” (DiscoTech edit) i know i can't afford to stop for one moment, 'cos i'm just out of reach of your fingertips Aretha is an undisputed champ and I think you'd be hard pressed to find anyone disputing the power of DiscoTech (half of which is Gigamesh . Nuff said.) This classic is handled brilliantly, retaining it's original glory while adding a few updated funky bits. For the wedding dance playlist of your favorite indie music snob.

[SPONSORED] SOUL of Greatness – Tim Tebow

You know that moment when you have been listening to music on speakers and you suddenly realize that you haven't actually been hearing any of it. Its been accidentally relegated to background music? Ugh. The worst. The beauty of headphones is their ability to pipe the music not only to your ears but directly to your conscious mind. With a pair of quality headphones on you pretty much can;t deny the music. And that is what SOUL Headphones is getting at here. Wrap your brain in the finest quality sound cans and feed your goals the soundtrack [...]

[VIDEO] Kodaline – “All I Want”

Kodaline - All I Want
Stumbling across the new video for Kodaline's "The Answer" I was intrigued to see the band behind one of my favorite remixes of the year. "The Answer" is a great song and the video is good but it all lead me to this stellar video for Kodaline's last single "All I Want." Love is cruel, but not as cruel as the English.

Watch out lyric videos of the future. The game just got upped big time. This rides that border of 90s cheese-ball music videos but never falls over the edge. So well done. Go Frank + Derol !

[MP3] Hannes Fischer – “A Love Like This” & “Cold Blood (Hannes Fischer Edit)” anymore it doesn't matter who's right or wrong, we've been injuring each other for much too long ♫  Hannes Fischer - A Love Like This We know Hannes from his legendary chart-topping remixes and now he has taken a vocal sample and added all his own production. "A Love Like This" evokes some recent great  90s   remixes  with its blend of Something For The People's "My Love Is The Shhh" vocals with Hannes' slow burn late-night funky groves. Hannes also did a little work on an old [...]

[MP3] Manu el Chino – “Lumos” ♫  Manu el Chino - Lumos (Original Mix) Manu el Chino has already impressed with his stellar remix work and now the guy is dropping originals and I'm loving what I'm hearing.

[PREMIERE] Urban Cone – “Black Ocean” & “Kings & Queens”

[PREMIERE] Urban Cone – “Black Ocean” & “Kings & Queens” tears will fall like lemon drops and split your heart in two We've heard Urban Cone make some beautiful noises before but my true test of any great band is how they handle their mellow jams (see Brand New ). Urban Cone dial it down wonderfully in the elegant, minimal, and still catchy "Black Ocean." Tension swells with the oncoming drums and just as it climaxes it turns back around and slips out the door it snuck through. For another new taste of these Swedish [...]
