With his latest remix, Who Killed JR takes the moody, dreamy Midnight City by M83 out of its after hours club feel and injects some 2am energy. With the piano intro, he adds an accoustic touch. Jacking the bass and drums up a notch, and gating the main synth gives the track that WKJR feel [...]

Today we are bringing you six remixes of The National by The Frown. It’s hard to pick a favourite. The remixes are a showcase of the talent that South Africa has to offer, while also reflecting the varied styles that are popular today.

Control is one of my favourite tracks off of Spoek Mathambo’s album Mshini Wam. The bass is deep, as are the vocals, which gives it a feeling of good 90s deep house. The drums programming on the other hand is very afro-tech and the contrast really works. Richard the Third takes full advantage of this [...]

Think coke-fuelled carribean conga’s and you’re on the right track. Grab the download below. Battle Beyond the Stars disturbs the original through dissonance. With [...]

Audiophile 021 is in a remix frenzy at the moment. Before having a chance to put up his last remix, I get a call asking me to include the latest one he just finished. I wish my day job was sitting in a studio all day with unlimited amounts of Red Bull, maybe I would [...]

Audiophile 021 sent through his latest remix and damn is it large! My first thought was, really, Lily Allen and dubstep? Luckily I didn’t say it out loud or I would have had to swallow my words. In contrast to the pop-feel of the main vocal loop and build up from the original, his bass [...]

Who Killed JR? is back with a brand new remix. This time he is taking on legen-waitforit-dary, French duo, Daft Punk and their classic Robot Rock. But I am getting ahead of myself. Usually when posting a track by a new artist, the post is accompanied by a shiny & new artist page. We kind [...]

French due Cassius need no introduction and neither do Popskarr, come to think of it. Over the years most of have heard and loved a Cassius track. They’ve released some great tracks over the years, which always seem to have a postive, almost happy-go-lucky vibe to them. On their new EP entitled Rawkers have switched [...]

Them boys from Popskarr dropped off this awesome remix of We Have Band’s Oh! The original has that typical indie-dance-rock sound, which Popskarr replace with deep synths and keys. Overall the treatment is effictive. The remix sounds like what the original should’ve sounded like. Plus it has a dj friendly intro and outro. Bonus! I [...]
