HAIM - If I Could Change Your Mind (Cerrone Funk Mix)



HAIM made a great impression last year with Days Are Gone
their smashing debut. It showed a trio of young yet seasoned
performers taking a note from R&B and pop of the 70s and 80s. 
While HAIM have been remixed, the work of French disco legend
Cerrone sets itself apart from the rest.

Ross/Kanye/Sean - Sanctified (Brenmar Remix)



Kanye West already knocked this out the park when
he slid Rozay this gem. A lot of people were glad to see
him out of Yeezus-mode for the original version. Trust,
Brenmar to make the banger a lot more club friendly.

The way he uses the classic Rick Ross adlib to segway
out of the hook is truly masterful. Then he cherry picks
the best brashest lines from the song and turns them into a
sweaty manifesto.

100 million dollars and a bad bitch?
 Most certainly.

Leif Knowles - Dinas Oleu (Album)


If it took this guy 10 years in the music business to finally
drop an album, that shit better be bonkers. Luckily, this 
deep house beauty is worth the wait. 

DJ/Producer Leif Knowles has crafted a lush majestic journey
with 'Dinas Oleu' out now via Fear of Flying. This
is house music littered with orchestral flourishes, 
natural sounds, reverb, oddly rooted in ambient
downtempo chillout.

The engineering/production through out is a marvel.
It's not every time a mix just breathes like this.

Disclosure - Latch (DJ Premier Remix)



Disclosure's 'Settle' was one of the biggest dance/electronic 
albums of 2013. Not long since they announced that
they would be dropping a remix album, that we get hit
with, of all people, - DJ Premier's contribution.

Nothing else to say. It's DJ Premier.

Tinashe - Vulnerable (feat. Travi$ Scott) [VIDEO]


Tinashe just hit us with a third mixtape - Black Water,
to round out Reverie and In Case We Die,
both generally well received.
 Over a Boi-1da twilit trap soundscape, Tinashe
tells how she will get you in a vulnerable...position.

G.O.O.D. Music artist Travi$ Scott drops by
at the end and absolutely slaughter's
his verse.

It's up there for a rap and R&B collab.

AZEKEL - In The Zone '13



Your whiskey you will do neat but you'd like your R&B
with a twist. Fair enough, how about a Nigerian born
London based velvet voiced crooner? Moist yet?
Good. Say hi to AZEKEL.

Off his just released Circa EP via Generator and THNDR
LGHTNG Recordings, this cut is a slice of spacey soul
led by a subtle guitar riff, intergalactic synths and his
ridiculously smooth vocals.

Miguel, the Weeknd and all 'em better watch out....

Aluna George-Outlines


Fans of Disclosure or any London female vocalist over electronic loungey down-tempo beats will love this.  A painful, joyful, cliche-ful get over the person you were seeing. Let it go.

It's not like a déjà vu 
And it's not an illusion 
But sometimes I feel you through 
All the confusion 


It doesn't always make me feel sad 
But it never really makes me feel glad 
Because all the good times we had could never be back
