hawk. is an alias of one of my fave producers: charlesthefirst. His glitchy style is complex and organic and it’s made him a regular in the outdoor festival scene. This new side project is full of unreleased edits and originals—my favorite being the super smooth playboi carti flip. Check it out below.
Kid Cudi – Memories Ft. Travis Scott & Quavo (Dawg Remix)
Dawg took a little break but he’s back with “Memories” – a reworking of Kid Cudi‘s song with additional adlibs for flavor. It’s got a good bounce and it satisfies that trap beat thirst. Check it out below and follow Dawg on Soundcloud here.
The Knocks & MUNA – Bodies (Tycho Remix)
Prepare your mind for a gorgeous new remix from the one and only, Tycho. The supremely talented producer puts his chilled touch on this one in a big way – transforming The Knocks‘ “Bodies” into a hypnotizing pop groove. I liked the original but I love this remix.
Louis The Child – Little Things (sumthin sumthin Remix)
Louis The Child enlisted 8 talented artists to remix their summery pop single, “Little Things”, and these guys came through in a big way. All of the producers involved made the song their own and crafted 8 wildly unique sounding songs. Hands down, my favorite of the bunch is sumthin sumthin‘s playfully bouncy rendition. He pairs Quinn XCII‘s and Chelsea …
The Weeknd – Blinding Lights (Major Lazer Remix)
There’s nothing like some new Major Lazer to brighten up your day! This time the guys remix The Weeknd‘s throwback pop single, “Blinding Lights”—revamping the song with snappy percussion and an addictive new lead synth. It creates a breezy vibe that pairs well with The Weeknd’s soaring vocals, and I especially the breakdown near the end that brings the song …
070 Shake – Guilty Conscience (Devault Remix)
Orange County producer Devault puts a high energy electro spin on 070 Shake‘s “Guilty Conscience” and it’s a ton of fun. I loved 070 Shake’s debut album Modus Vivendi from earlier this year, and I think her catchy vocals were just begging for a good electronic remix. Devault gets the job done with this one—reworking the original into a vigorous …
Just Blaze & Baauer – Higher (Ft. Jay-Z) (Cozway Edit)
After signing to RL Grime’s Sable Valley label last July, fast-rising producer Cozway is poised for a big year in 2020. He’s been playing out this monstrous edit of Just Blaze & Baauer‘s “Higher” in his live sets for a while now, so I’m beyond stoked to get an official release. Cozway’s unique sound is completely unleashed on this one, …
OZZIE – White Ferrari
This is the coolest thing I’ve heard in a minute. OZZIE has been one of my favorite producers for a long time now, and his new edit of Frank Ocean‘s “White Ferrari” reignites my love of his music. It’s a sedated reworking that layers and loops Frank’s vocals over a rolling trap beat, creating a melancholic vibe that’s a pleasure …
Billie Eilish – ilomilo (Bad Acid Remix)
LA producer Bad Acid puts a sinister spin on “ilomilo”, transforming it into a warped reflection of itself. Billie Eilish‘s delicate vocals are left mostly intact, but waves of shadowy bass, minimalistic percussion, and eerie, off-kilter synths replace the bouncy production of the original. Bad Acid’s style sounds so incredibly natural alongside Billie’s vocals that it feels like this remix …
Augest – Gloss (Otherwise Fine Remix) (Audio Aquarium Premiere)
Electronic duo Otherwise Fine are back with a silky smooth new remix of producer Augest‘s song, “Gloss”. They put an energizing spin on the dreamy original, introducing speedy build ups and explosive, synth-laden drops. Their additions take the song into future bass territory, making it all the more accessible and fun. I think the two artist’s styles sound great together, …
