Lips - Everything to Me & (Adventure Club Dub step remix)

Another Adventure club remix, somehow they keep pumping out solid mix's that do insane justice to Dub-step without being over the top. The original track is also put in because it is a sweet track in its own right, Lips throw out a very chilled vibe with a kind of flight facilities feel.

The Black Keys - Lonely Boy

First single of the new Black Keys album 'El Camino' which hits stores December 6th. I have been looking forward to this album for a long time. Hope this little taste can hold me off for another month or two.

I.D.G.A.F.O.S. - Dillon Francis

I'm not usually a fan of music like this, however Dillon Francis is an up and coming DJ that is going to make it huge so I figured I should give you all a taste. This track has some serious hybrid moombahton beats that Dillion loves to use that makes a very chaotic and catchy track.

Lupe Fiasco - LightWork f. Ellie Goulding & Bassnectar

New, good Lupe is hard to come by, so I'l take anything I can get. This mix is pretty sweet, apart from having Lupe say "Yeh Yeh YEh" for the first minute its done real well. This single is a release of his new Mix tape named 'Friend of the People' which is due out 24th November, while it does lack the hip hop master essence  we knew from his first two releases, it's still better than lasers, even with its electronic feel.

Ain't Nothing Like You (Hoochie Coo) Ft. Mos Def and Jim Jones

So if there are people out there who like Black Keys and Hip-Hop you can't really go past BlakRoc, which is basically the Black Keys with guest rappers so its bound to be great. This track has Mos Def and Jim Jones who add a great sound to the already amazing blues vibe.

Nero - Me And You (Steve Angello Remix)

This mix is just plain awesome, the violins just create an epic vibe and when it drops we all know how much swagger Nero can have. Steve Angello puts his own vibe into the track and it fits in seamlessly with the original score.



The XX - Night Time (Synkro Remix)

I know there are a lot of XX mix's around, however I really enjoyed how Synkro kept the basic emptiness of the song and just developed it into something a little different. If you like the XX you can't not like it.

Childish Gambino Vs Chiddy Bang – Put It In Your Manners (DJ 21azy Mashup)

The best thing about Dj 2lazy, that sets him apart from most Remix Dj's is the fact that his tracks are never to busy and there is a feeling of less is more. I have a lot of love for Childish Gambino and his flow works wonders over Indie chorus of Chiddy Bangs "Mind Your Manners". Something a little more upbeat for the masses.



Group Love Ft Skizzy Mars & Biggie Smalls - Colours (DJ 21azy Remix)

So another Biggie mix, but I don't care, because this one set itself apart from the usual remixs and mashups. Skizzy Mars and Biggie's raps mesh well together and the backing track by Group Love keeps the track from being to Hip-hop if that makes sense.



D.VELOPED - My Dangerously Melodic Anthem

A bit of fun, this mash up is very "Girl Talkest", however the 'Postal Service' sample goes all the way through, giving the track a very smooth, easy vibe. I usually find big mashups usually to hectic, but this one seems to keep a good sense of relaxation.

We Were Promised Jetpacks - Act On Impulse

These Scottish fellows have been floundering around the music scene for a while now and for some reason there music just gets me, I don't know if its Adam Thompson's Scottish accent coming through on the vocals or just the whole way the band makes its music but there is something about their sound.  Id you like this album then check out Their debut album 'These four walls' from a couple of years ago.

Ed Sheeran - The A Team (Koan Sound Remix)

So some of you may have heard Ed Sheeran on triple J lately with that god awful song 'You need me, I don't need you". So when I first saw this song I was a bit sceptic, however Koan Sound have really made a master piece out of a song that really wasn't that great to begin with, which makes me appreciate it even more. This tune is insanely chilled out with tiny bits of Dub step thrown in for fun.

SBTRKT - Hold On (Siavash Cold As Ice Remix)

SBTRKT threw out an epic album this year and  the London music producers works are getting alot of attention by Djs making killer mix's, this track has a heap of swag to go with its chilled out vibe.



Gotye- Somebody That I Used To Know feat. Kimbra- (Dan Aux Remix)

So I will start of by saying I know this song has been raped into the ground by the radio but a good remix, is a good remix, and we cant start shunning good music because you don't know how to turn the Nova off. Dan Aux does a great job with this mix taking it away from all the other remixes I have heard so far and giving it an edgier and more driven feel. I especially like the bass line when Kimbra comes in, reminds me a lot of Roger Waters in 'One of these days' intro.
