B-Sides: The Better Side? P3

(Image retrieved from vse.svetloe)

Here's another dose of B-sides from some of my favorite artists, (15 to be exact.) These tracks stretch over the past couple of years from when they were first released, yet still make the world turn by how good they are.
Hopefully you'll catch the cover that I've included in the mix that was once used as a B-side. It's a popular track from awhile back that's been covered multiple times, but there's just something about the way this one sounds.

So, which B-side was your favorite? 

ICYMI: Yesterday's post covered 12 acts I'd definitely make an effort to see if I was at South By Southwest (SXSW) for the entire week. (Read it here!)

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.
