15 Remixes Your Ears Need to Hear

Happy Tuesday y'all (which is known to be the proper release day for music in the good ol U S of A.) Just in case you feel like taking the new Tycho or The War on Drugs album off repeat (which might be a problem) here's 73 minutes of remixed gems! Some new, some old, and if you didn't know already - this old thing turns 2 years old on Friday! 

So, which remix was your favorite?

ICYMI: Yesterday's FVB#23 was filled to the brim with some of the best music that's been released in the past couple of weeks. 

Some Remixes + Listen to Sam Smith's debut EP 'Nirvana'

It's been awhile since I posted a handful of remixes that I can't seem to stray away from, but guess what - here they are.

I've been a huge fan of the mysterious Baardsen's previous remixes for artists such as Grimes & Dan Croll, so when I found out "Biggy" by Warpaint was the latest project - I didn't waste time in looking it up. Smooth and synth-y, just how I like it. Listen to the original here! 

The last track on Panama's debut Always EP is a pleasant remix from Sydney duo Cosmo's Midnight. Listen to the entire EP on Spotify here! 

Not only are The 1975 amazing at making music, but their ability to remix practically anyone else's music seems like a walk in the park. Ever since James Vincent McMorrow released his sophomore album Post Tropical, I haven't gone a day without listening to it. This is a dreamy remix that flows just as well as the original. Check it out! 

Michael David & Tyler Blake aka Classixx transformed "Is This How You Feel?" by Sydney five-piece The Preatures into one of the grooviest tracks my ears have ever heard. Another Classixx remix you should check out is of Panama's "Always." 

P.S. Catch both The Preatures & LA duo Classixx at this year's Coachella

Today Sam Smith's debut EP Nirvana was released in the US & boy is it a keeper! Listen above via Spotify and you'll find a variety of material including his acoustic version of "Latch." Sam Smith is definitely on my list of must-see artists of 2014 after hearing nothing but great things about his two-day residency at Troubadour in West Hollywood.

GL00MSDAY

Unless you've been hiding under a rock for the past couple of days, you're probably more than aware that the weather (in most places) is a little on the gloomy/chilly/not sunny side. For me personally, I love it. I experienced quite a bit of the "gloom doom" while living in Philadelphia last fall, and sporadically in (Fort Worth) Texas except the humidity level was beyond tolerable. I will admit this weather makes it hard to be productive, and clearly not a "beach day" - so, as I'm writing this underneath layers and layers of blankets - here's what I've been listening to. It's music from bands that I love and pairs perfectly with a cloudy and/or chilly day. Hope y'all enjoy & feel free to share with your friends, family, cats, etc. It's that good.
