Lana Del Rey - Born To Die (Gemini Remix)

Yet another amazing track by Gemini! Following up his huge EP "Fire Inside" Gemini's remix of kinky queen Lana Del Rey's smash single hit Beatport. This track had been sitting on Gemini's Soundcloud for 4 months but still premiered on Beatport as an exclusive track, making the home page. Personally, I am a huge fan of both Lana and Gemini and having listened to nearly all of Gemini's tracks I can truly say he really knows his shit. He is a master of almost all genres though he excels at Dubstep, creating flawless drops rich with vibrating bass on some ("No Way Out and "Whiskers" being two great examples) and catchy, melodic leads on others (see "Fire Inside" and "Vision"). In nearly all cases however, these two elements have been combined into a masterpiece of sound; Gemini owns the game.

Lana Del Rey adds a whole to level to his producing. He totally recreated her song with a new beat, sick synthes, and piano. My only dislike in his entire remix would be the fact that he took some focus away from the totally unique and astounding vocals and focused it on the synthes. With a voice as beautiful as Lana's you got to play it up as much as possible. Overall though, Gemini did a fantastic job with this song none the less. 

Here is Gemini's remix of "Born to Die":

 Lana's shit has gotten remixed by many DJs and a lot of these remixes are really impressive. A few of these really stood out alongside Gemini's are of the same song he did. Give these remixes of "Video Games" a look:

Jump feat. Dell Harris - LAZRtag

Holy shit this song is fucking crazy awesome, but, not to be outdone my friends in Candyland remixed this song to dubstep perfection. In the original song, pimped up vocals are layered over melodic background synthes creating a super sexy contrast, which Dell Harris adds his part perfectly. I must also give props as well to James Egbert for his part. His remix is excellent and I normally would compare it to Candyland's but they are different genres and so are incomparable. However, I think both artists recognized the best and key parts of the original song which allowed them both to play it up to achieve complete ridiculousness/ EDM madness. I really look forward to seeing what all three arists will move onto after this. If you aren't familiar with any of these artists I heavily advise you follow the links at the bottom and give them a look.

Miike Snow - Devil's Work (Dirty South Remix)

Another hit from Dirty South! On last Tuesday Dirty South's remix of "Devil's Work" hit beatport to much excitement. This full fledged remix features a sick piano melody, chill vocals as usual by Miike Snow, and an insanely catchy drop. I must hand it to Dirty South, he really transformed this song. though he didn't mess with the drums or piano he turned this song into what I hope will be a huge club banger. Lately, Miike Snow has been getting a lot of publicity with his song "Paddling Out" getting remixed by Wolfgang Gartner. Both of these songs have been released in their mega-masterpiece album "Happy to You", give it a look. Please support the artist, I'll post where you can do so :)

Artist Spotlight: Mekanikirb

How are you liking the daily posts? Today's artist in the spotlight is a Mekanikirb, an American DJ who is the essence of dubstep. Mekanikirb first discovered dubstep while he was studying music theory two years ago. Not long after first hearing dubstep, Mekanikirb was hard at work, producing electronic on a daily basis. At only 17 years old and with nine years of musical experience under his belt, Mekanikirb wants nothing more than to push the genre into new unexplored places.

He especially enjoys looping in audio bits from old school movies and TV programs he's enjoyed over the years. His latest track, "Nasty" plays on traditional dubstep with a truly unique synth sound interwoven throughout the piece. Be sure to keep your ears finally tuned with Mekanikirb, as he curb stomps your brain with sick bass drops, tight loops & heady arrangements.

Mekanikirb's best jams:

 

 Nasty is mekanikirb's newest post on his soundcloud which features a catchy melody, hard hitting drop, and some of the sickest build up lyrics. This track is truly deserving of the title, Nasty, and if no label picks it up Mekanikirb is getting cheated.  NO ONE CAN TOUCH US YOUR NOT ABOVE US MONEY SAYS YOUR BITCH WANNA LOVE US, IM NASTY!

Wolfgang Gartner - Red Line

Yesterday Wolfgang Gartner posted on his soundcloud a preview for his new song "Red Line" even though downloads had been popping up for it weeks before this. Personally, I really like it and think its hell of a catchy song but, he has been getting some shit for making progressive house. I can see where this hate is coming from because it is not on the same level as other progressive songs by big names such as "Kontiki" and its not Wolfgang's genre to mess with. "Red Line" also isn't even close to as good as his #1 songs "Space Junk" "Illmerica" or "There and Back".  This song is fresh anyway though, so I am going to give you guys a free download link. Have fun with this shit.
