Ellie Goulding – How Long Will I Love You (EMBRZ Remix)

Posted on by poetryinanemptycokecan

EMBRZ

Jack Casey — or EMBRZ as he is known — is a young producer out of Ireland who demonstrates his potential on this Cyril Hahn-esque arrangement of Ellie Goulding‘s “How Love Will I Love You.” While the original is a bit of a sleeper (sorry, Ellie!), the downtempo adaptation is a staggering and affective ballad.

Baio – Sunburn Modern

There’s nothing I like more than the tropical goodness of a balearic tune, and this track by Vampire Weekend’s bassist Chris Baio fits the bill. The Greco-Roman release “Sunburn Modern” can be found on his 2012 EP Sunburn, the vibe of which Baio has described as “hopeful melancholy.” See if you agree by streaming the beat below.

John Legend – All of Me (De Hofnar Bootleg)

Dutch producer De Hofnar has transformed John Legend‘s somewhat blasé ballad, “All Of Me” from JL’s latest album Love In The Future into a spectacular, sax-filled affair. The saxophone is truly an essential ingredient here. Stream and pick up a FREE download by following the link below.

Rising Manchester DJ/producer Sam O’Neill, or TCTS as he calls himself has just released a new EP These Heights via Greco-Roman. The UK label, whose roster of artists includes the likes of Disclosure, TEED, and co-founder Joe Goddard, is no insignificant backing in a rapidly flourishing world of future garage. Feel free to play the following track off the EP “over and over.”

you did my little heart in like a house of cards…

Braids – Lemonade

Props to my Canadian friend Jon Keypour for this one, who introduced me to the Montreal-based indie/art-rock group known as Braids. Their dreampop sound is experimental in nature — akin to Animal Collective if their vocalist were female.

The kaleidoscopic track “Lemonade” is off their debut album, Native Speaker, which while a couple years old is still relevant. The Canadian quartet recently released a new album and is currently on tour in Europe.

 

London Grammar – Nightcall (Joe Goddard Remix)

Posted on by poetryinanemptycokecan

lgnightcall

Although I had heard the London Grammar cover of Kavinsky’s “Nightcall” before seeing their show in October, it had failed to hold the same allure as the rest of their music. That all changed however hearing the downtempo track performed live, from the powerful pipes of Hannah Reid herself.

The original cover is a slow-to-build ballad, but Hot Chip’s Joe Goddard has rendered a captivating reinterpretation with the addition of drum and bass. The single will be out December 8th — but you can pre-order it here.

Tennis – Mean Streets

Tennis will be playing at DC’s Black Cat TONIGHT!

Tegan and Sara – “I Was A Fool” (Monsieur Adi remix)

Posted on by poetryinanemptycokecan

foolforlove

While Tegan and Sara‘s latest album, Heartthrob may not have caught my attention at the time of its release earlier this year, this Monsieur Adi makeover of their track “I Was A Fool” certainly did. The Parisian producer turns the simple track into an 80’s pop ballad with its four-to-the-floor beat — and a synth chord that reminds me a little of this Boy Meets Girl gem.
