Emmit Fenn – I Can’t Believe I Had You
The recently released Until We Meet Again EP by incredibly talented singer and producer Emmit Fenn is a gorgeous little project from start to finish.

Flume – Rushing Back (Third Culture Kid Remix)
Seattle producer Third Culture Kid‘s rendition of “Rushing Back” stands out as one of the best remixes the amazing original has seen so far.

I imagine putting your own spin on a track of this caliber is …

A new MEMBA track is always a treat. Most recently, the duo reworked their amazing song with Mothica, “Chasing Light“, by upping the tempo and unleashing a killer beat to transform the original into a euphoric dance track.
