brainbheats – RMXTPE Volume 2

artworks-000089777414-7dcgiv-t500x500 Having tracklists provided are a convenience we take for granted. It’s good practice for the artists, but there is the other side of being engaged by listeners through PM’s that yield similar, or to some, more engagement. To the fortune of MP3 hounds archives more and more artists have gone to lengths as far as compiling all tracks included in mixes into playlists, fewer have stretched to mix only free downloads. And those are the pay dirt for hounds. Louisville based brainbheats ‘RMXTPE Volume 2’ includes only his own remixes and has all or each available for download HERE.

Standout track: 5. Bombs Over Reykjavic (Outkast x Sigur Ros)

Two Chapel Sound heads together are capable of a great many things. How these cats went about the flip make it a ripe tune to cruise to. Could go real nice somewheres around Still Dre or Next Episode in ur playlist. It feels bout that level of G n’ chill. Give both the dudes a follow.

artworks-000089753358-zfu2tm-t500x500
A huge move on Redlights 90’s baby jam. South Hamptons Lost Hustle even snuck in a little exerpt of their own personal favourite 90’s tracks, ‘Far Out’ by Sunz to complete the look. It’s dark and Uk ravey, and full on House. DJ’s interested in copy for play are encouraged to email the crew.

Sam Smith – Money On My Mind (sergioisdead Remix)

artworks-000089807125-1l5oh5-t500x500
Heads up off the get go, your not reading legible letters of a Sam Smith fan. Whiney male pop isht don’t fly far. sergioisdead salvaged a song otherwise left by the wayside by taking the whole thing back to an easy lean chill Trap place. Vocals adjusted to Alt R&B over the latter pre pubescent whine makes this the 20 million view worthy.

sergioisdead ‘Remixes’ album out today on Bandcamp

Premiere: Windmills – Face To A Name (▲lpha M▲le Remix)


A quick weekend trip to the interior will reveal that our love for Electronica reaches further than the headliner after headliner we see plastered in front of us on street corners all over the city. The same plastered names familiar seemingly follow us to our interior destinations during these get aways. These breaks from our daily lives don’t often offer the time to shed light on the local talent nestled between the big names making gain on smaller local scenes. It’s often not until the locals make the move to larger city centres that they get the attention they deserve. Today we have the pleasure of premiering one such talent of the Okanagan valley from Kelowna (now living in Vancouver). Remixing the indie pop of also BC based Windmills, into a gritty Electro rendition not escaping the original with too much distance by incorporating the originals chorus is ▲lpha M▲le. Download is available on the remix and you can listen to the original HERE.

ONHELL – Simple Stare


West Coast bass music sums up entirely the latest Muti Music release by ONHELL. Lovers of Street Bass, Future Music, Trap, Alt RnB all have a choice in standout. This may be an artist worthy of your attention in the time to come. You can purchase ‘Simple Stare’ online via Beatport, iTunes or Amazon.

ONHELL is another one of the young talented producers merging from northern California, originally from Arcata this recent transplant to Oakland can’t help but generate buzz wherever he lands. His first EP got responses like this one from DoAndroidsDance.com, “Mixing trap, bass, juke, twerk, and booty bass vibes, this producer from Arcata, California creates a dreamy and sexy bedroom vibe that cannot be denied.”

Simple Stare includes tunes that give you that thought of ‘instant classics’ with melodies and tonal atmospheres that resonate internally the second they are heard, from the depth of haunting tunes like Elle and You Made Me to the anthemic Catalyst and then tunes like Every Night and Tacenda adding just that little bit of extra bounce to bring it all together into one cohesive experience.
