When he snaps, he’s like an alligator. Aminé’s huneybee remix is a great way to start the year.
Moo Latte – My very last christmas remix this year
Moo Latte saved the best ’til last with a quick flip of a Christmas classic. As my grandad used to say “Christmas come and it done.” We hope you had a good one. Technically, Christmas is 12 days long so we’re taking advantage of that to promote a dope remix. Moo Latte is a “24 …
Kaytranada to release joint EP with Robert Glasper
The ArtScience Remixes will feature 8 reworks from Glasper’s 2016 album ArtScience. I haven’t been having any Kaytranada withdrawal symptoms as I still have 99.9% on heavy rotation and his tracks for Talib Kweli and Lou Phelps quenched my thirst for new music. On that note (pun intended), I’m happy to hear the Montreal musician …
brandon* – Bodak Purple
Bodak Yellow remixes have yet to run out of steam. Here is brandon*’s ethereal effort, Bodak Purple. I’ve been following brandon* for a while on Instagram so I’m privy to how he constructs his beats. Upon hearing Bodak Purple in the making, I was beyond hyped. And now we have the finished product. Bodak Purple …
Kojo Rigault – Loved Up (House Mix)
A house remix turned a all-but-forgotten track into a gem for Kojo Rigault. Kojo Rigault is a Trinidadian musician who once worked as an A&R scout for Mark Hill (aka half of Artful Dodger) at his Stoosh Records imprint. Loved Up was of little interest to Kojo in terms of releasing until it was discovered …
Leo Napier – Before I Go Away (Le Wanderer Remix)
Leo Napier gets the remix treatment by Le Wanderer on latest single Before I Go Away. A move from the US to Ladbroke Grove may puzzle some but there’s no mistaking Leo Napier’s vocal qualities. The US-born London-based singer has made a bit of a name for himself, lending his talents to Gramatik’s Native Son …
Clement Marfo – Let The Music Play
Clement Marfo returns with a new single including some incredible remixes. On the back of sync music success Breathe of Fresh Air, Clement Marfo is back with follow up track Let The Music Play. The song is lyrically stripped, focussing on the meta-subject of music and how it has the power to heal. Stream it …
Scott Xylo – ESP (XK Remix)
Our very own Scott Xylo gets the remix treatment by our very own Xomodo on “ESP”. Despite having a collective of dope artists, we’ve yet to have any of them sample each other. Until now. Newest recruit Xomodo decided it was time to rectify that and chose Scott Xylo’s ESP as his blank canvas. The …
FREE DL: 4hero – Play With The Changes (Starchild Remix)
Enjoy this re-released remix of 4hero’s Play With The Changes, courtesy of UK producer st/rr.

n2deepbeatz – RMXTAPE.5
London’s n2deepbeatz’s RMZTAPE.5 is straight fire, featuring raps from 2pac, Common and Gang Starr.

Flying Lotus – Siren Song (Stan Forebee Remix)
Dutch producer Stan Forebee offers up a mellow remix of Flying Lotus’ Siren Song. Just what I needed at 1am on a Saturday night/morning. The Netherlands’ is a hot bed for hip hop talent, from Nicolay to Nubbz to Beatsofreen and Stan Forebee is no exception. Taking inspiration from Flying Lotus’ Siren Song, Forebee created a …
SumoChief – Gator Season (2Late Remix)
London based jazz/hip hop quartet SumoChief have enlisted the services of High Focus beat-wizard 2Late to deliver an intriguing reinterpretation of “Gator Season”. The pursuit of musical complexity can sometimes be futile, as it is often done at the expense of the overall “vibe” of a track. When there is a perceptible lack of this …
Tall Black Guy Vs Michael Jackson – The Remix Suite
It’s Michael Jackson’s birthday today and to celebrate, we’re giving some shine to Tall Black Guy’s 2010 Michael Jackson remix album. Yes, this joint is four years old now but I just gave it another listen on my iPod and it blew me away. Tall Black Guy dismantled and reengineered all of his favourite MJ …

FREE DL: tiromancy – Knee Deep In Adele (Rumour Has It)
A rework of Adele has tiromancy “knee deep” in his latest free track. Rumour has it… There’s nothing quite like a good frickin’ remix especially when the original tune is already brilliant. Case in point: Adele’s Rumour Has It. That’s where Cincinnati’s Geoff Adams (AKA tiromancy) comes in to drop some serious house grooves and …
Logic – Break It Down Feat. Jhene Aiko (Louis Futon Remix)
Louis Futon take us to the dancefloor with his latest remix of Logic’s Break It Down featuring Jhene Aiko. 2012 saw the reemergence of airy 80s synths in mainstream production, with the zenith arguably being Jessie Ware’s debut Devotion. But it seems amongst the Soundcloud conglomerate at least that early 90s house is the popular …

Bonobo’s remix of Henri Texier’s Les LaBas will ease you through the transition from winter to spring and it’s free to download.
