French Horn Rebellion – Second Opinion (Bee’s Knees Remix)

Max — Mon, 12 Dec 2016 14:00:13 +0000

We’ve got a really special one for you today. Two of our favorites have finally teamed up. It’s a remix, but it may as well be an original. French Horn Rebellion, our NYC brethren have been remixed by west-coast remix phonemes, Bee’s Knees. They take what was a Steely Dan meets Michael Jackson jammer, and gives it an ultra cool edge ready for 2016. We think you’ll really like this one, so make sure to check it out!

[PREMIERE] Bossa Lady (Deidre & the Dark x LEFTI x Pink Flamingo Rhythm Revue)

Tim — Wed, 08 Jun 2016 20:00:49 +0000

Deidre Muro is no stranger to the pages of TMD. With her work well documented through her time with Savoir Adore, Deidre & the Dark and most recently Violet Sands. This time we get the pleasure of her angelic vocals on her own through her current project w/ Deidre & the Dark. Mix in some production from Pink Flamingo Rhythm Revue aka Doc from Ghost Beach and LEFTI and you’ll be doing the bossanova all the way to Rio de Janeiro. Bottom line is this tune transports me to a far away time and place and it’s making me feel all hot and bothered.

A little from Deidre on the tune: “A few months ago, I gave the stems of the original “Boss Lady” to both Doc (Pink Flamingo Rhythm Revue) and Alex (LEFTI). They ended up surprising me first with a collaboration, and then surprising me again with an amazing summery, jazzy rework of the track – and I have been loving it ever since.”

So have we, so have we.

What’s even cooler is that if you’re in New York, you can be sure to catch all parties involved next week at Cantina Royale in Brooklyn. Details below:

Fareoh goes great in yummy salads

Felipe — Mon, 11 Apr 2016 19:13:01 +0000

So you probs already know about Big Grams and their debut EP last year. They are the combo indie/electro/hiphop consortium comprised of Big Boi (a la Outkast) and Phantogram – and they just put out a bunch of remixes of their song “Drum Machine” – arguably the weakest song from their EP (worth checking out “Fell In The Sun” – and “Lights On”). So what’d they do? They grabbed the track and had five separate folks remix the heck out of it. This Fareoh remix is hands down the best one. Who? Well, this dude Ian Spurrier (no relation to Steve) may have to pull a MacGruber-style Vegas nightclub introduction: “Who am I, you ask!?… MY name, is Fareoh! Remember. That. Name!” But he’d have to spell it for us too cuz I have no idea how to pronounce it. Is it like the Egypt pharaohs? or like, the way too expensive grain I put in my salad at Chop’t, farro…? Well whether it be his affinity for hieroglyphics and sarcophagi, or just nutritious and delicious salads, he made a really good song.

Feli Things he’s really good at photoshop…

Lacei – You Run (DaKey Remix)

Max — Mon, 08 Feb 2016 14:15:13 +0000

Emerging from LA, Lacei creates a vibey and sultry world to get lost in as metaphysics influences both imagery and lyrics. Just entering the scene this year, Lacei has introduced themselves through their song “You Run” and this remix by Swedish producer DaKey. The dark beats & heavy drops should put this song on top of your late night playlist.

Miami Horror – Cellophane (Loframes Remix)

Max — Wed, 27 Jan 2016 02:34:32 +0000

LOFRAMES – In Love With You

Max — Fri, 11 Dec 2015 14:30:30 +0000

Earlier this year we featured the debut single by Anglo-French duo, Loframes and now after a few months of radio silence they’re back with both a 2nd single, a cover of The Paradise’s ‘In Love With You’ and a remix of British singer David Harks’ new release. Whilst not as overtly poppy as their debut, ‘In Love With You’ still manages to provide some much needed sunshine this December.

Meanwhile their remix of David Harks’”Tripping Ghosts” (see yesterday’s post) sees the original’s melancholy downtempo electronic transformed into a dark yet sparkling House number. Just 2 singles down and Loframes are making a strong case to be one of 2016’s must see acts.

Nimino – Milo Evans

Gaby — Sun, 11 Oct 2015 21:15:52 +0000

Milo Evans [pseudonym] nimino

Nimino is on the brink of a tumultuous adventure of sleepless nights and symbiotic artistry survival. Nimino transitions the crux of a night into dreamlike dawn with his smooth decrescendos and soulful influences. An emerging artist from Brighton, UK, Milo Evans transfixes crowds with his fluctuating rhythm ensuring a fluid denouement of the night’s antics. Milo’s youth is riddled with the heavy influence of the dubstep scene in Brighton; a mecca where dubstep fans could transcend the barriers of life through a jolt of music and a slap of salt air. He takes a softer approach to the electronic hub that had emerged, creating soft ambient tunes to sooth the soul’s transition before emerging into the salty sunshine.

I am always struck by an artist with a calling. Passion is a devil that strikes inopportunely, yet a calling shines through the face of aversion, failure, and perseverance. Milo has graced the stage since 14, his artistry will remember his innovation in the face of a jarred musical scene, introducing soothing ambients to a future of listeners.

Tei Shi – Go Slow (Blue Hawaii Remix)

Chelsea — Tue, 26 May 2015 22:38:42 +0000

Here at TMD, we love a good remix. Lucky for us, Blue Hawaii has transformed Tei Shi’s “Go Slow” into a hypnotizing record. With growing buzz surrounding the talented songstress, Tei Shi knows how to churn out killer tracks such as “Nevermind the End,” “Bassically,” and of course, “Go Slow.” Fortunately, we have the pleasure of listening to “Go Slow” in a new way.

Steering away from the original tune that has you moving in all types of ways, Blue Hawaii switches it up with funky, opening beats and sporadic, yet atmospheric sounds. To put it simply, Blue Hawaii alters the original into a melodic, trance-like soundscape. With chopped snippets of smooth bass, Tei Shi’s angelic voice floats through the track, providing an ambient remix.

Be sure to check out her latest EP Verde and if you know what’s good for you, catch Tei Shi at one of her upcoming shows!

Wonderful Humans – Just What I Needed (Mountain Of Youth Remix)

Alison — Fri, 15 May 2015 19:05:24 +0000

It feels better than it sounds and sounds better than it feels — you follow? It makes no sense, but I guess I’m not wanting it to — because this Mountain Of Youth remix just tipped me into a blissed oblivion and I can’t see, let alone touch, the ground. An otherworldly bounce drags me high right before the sonic force* of Wonderful Humans pulls me back down; like a roller coster, never once losing the merriment or thrill of the ride along the way.

*You and your eyes got me on a high
And it’s a good feeling, to feel this way.

Full disclosure: I dropped everything the moment I heard this track, overwhelmingly overcome by an urge to share with you. I haven’t felt like this in a long time… and luckily for you and I, that feeling doesn’t have to stop here. Steady does it: Mountain Of Youth is going to be fucking massive and without question, is my top remix artist find of 2015.

The Aston Shuffle – Tear it Down (SAFIA Remix)

Tim — Sat, 04 Apr 2015 17:15:36 +0000

Saturdays are weird. They allow me to explore the things I can’t get to during the week. I find all kinds of amazing things that otherwise would get left out of this beautiful life. So here I am, getting all kinds of emotional today. I think I finally have cleared the haze that is the post SXSW blues and now I’m sitting here reliving so many of the moments that we helped to create. I’m blown away by what we were able to accomplish this year at The Yard. If you were there, then you know the magic that happened. If you weren’t, my heart legitimately goes out to you. In the past few days I’ve been reviewing photos from the show, listening to the bands that were there and just making sure that I will never ever forget what happened down there in Austin. It’s a truly special experience to be so passionate about something and to see that passion play out before your eyes. The friendships that are made, the memories and just the love down there is unforgettable. Please go sometime. You owe it to yourself. If you ever want to know what we’re truly all about, come join us next year at our Southby event. I’m sure it will be amazing.

So anyway, sorry for rambling. Let’s get down to business. I am so high on SAFIA I can’t help it. They have played two of our shows and I’d argue they are one of the best unsigned acts in the world right now. They are simply electric to see live. Goosebumps. The whole time. The talent and raw emotion just chokes me up. Listen to this song and just let it take you away. Is it a remix? Yes. Did they perform it live? Yes. Did I cry? Yeah I cried and I’m kind of crying now.
