American Authors - Believer (Kulkid Remix)

By now I'm sure you've heard of Brooklyn band, American Authors, but I'm sure you never heard them like this. French producer, Kulkid, tries his hand at remixing the bands biggest single, "Believer". The track takes about a minute to really get into the song but to compensate, Kulkid adds an awesome banjo. The track ends up being a awesome mix of indie-rock/electronic/pop all fused together and wonderfully mixed. I also love the fact that Kulkid took the opportunity to give the vocals a much cleaner mix-down which adds a very nice finished touch to the track. This tracks a great way to start any day.

The Colourist - Little Games (Yeasayer Remix)

After hearing this I had to go find out what the original track sounded like and it was awesome! I figured, I can save that post for another day and in the meantime give you guys this sweet Yeasayer remix of The Colourist's, "Little Games". While Yeasayer has been on my radar for a while, this was my first time hearing from The Colourist and after hearing just a couple of tracks from them, I am super stoked to hear more. The track is only 2:43 which is great because I love when bands keep it short and sweet, but at the same time, you won't want a track this great to end so soon. Indie-pop at it's finest

Banks - Warm Water (Snakehips Remix)

I'm always a sucker for tracks like this. Smooth vocals and cool upbeat yet chill production is always a recipe for success. Haven't heard the original yet but Snakehips does an excellent job of crafting an excellent remix for the LA-based, Banks. Definitely a track for your "Classy Party" playlist. Plus, this track is available for FREE DOWNLOAD HERE.

Childish Gambino - Heartbeat (Justin Faust Remix)

German producer, Justin Faust, recently released his remixed version of Childish Gambino's "Heartbeat". He really gave it the disco treatment making this a bit less personal than the original, but so much more fun and addicting. The beat drops out for at the beginning of the verse, but it give it a few bars and the beat comes back huge.

The Kooks - Naive (Jean Tonique Remix)

French producer, Jean Tonique, decided to remix what is arguably my favorite track from The Kooks. Tonique really did an excellent job of adding an electronic vibe to the song without detracting from awesomeness of the original.

Marlena Shaw - California Soul (A. Skillz Remix)

A. Skillz gives us a dope remix of Marlena Shaw's "California Soul" that is bound to make it onto at least one summer mix CD. Feels like it should be in a Kia commercial or something and believe it or not, that's not an insult.

Noah and The Whale - Tonights The Kind Of Night (RAC Remix)

The good folks at RAC were kind enough to remix Noah and The Whale (not to be confused with the terrible, critically acclaimed movie, The Squid and The Whale) and make them listenable for everybody, not just my friend and I. Apparently, "5 Years Time" isn't for everybody. But this awesome and the original is off of their latest LP, Last Night On Earth.
