DCUP‘s latest is another exceptional remix. This time the Sydney-based producer tossed up a unique spin to the Prior’s track What You Need. It’s fresh out the oven and couldn’t be any more delicious.

BESTRACK

We missed out on several remixes to 317 newcomer Bestrack last week while we were moving. He recently released his debut EP Sunset City and it is simply banging. Everything I have heard from him is brilliant. If you don’t have these tracks below, you need em. Every track offers something raw and unique. If you dig what you hear check out the EP. You won’t be disappointed.

The remix Justin Faust throws down is killer. It is guaranteed to get the floors going.

NightyMax-BeachHut

Here’s something perfect to finally put an end to summer. I know it’s a little early but let’s face it, school’s in session and no one is booking anymore summer vacays. Night Max is another entangled member of the very fierce YALL production package we keep hearing so much about from Barcelona. He is very, very talented. Check out some earlier stuff here.

♫ Night Max – Beach Hut (192)

I caught hold of Mark Ronson‘s dub-reggae take to Miike Snow‘s Animal and wow is it ever fresh. The horn and key segment near the middle is perfect. To be honest I’m not quite sure how he masks the vocals to adapt to his funky-ass beat but he does, and it couldn’t be any smoother.

fake blood

Fake Blood created an absolutely bumpin’ remix to Miike Snow’s Animal. You can’t go wrong when that bassline drops. Those in Vancouver be sure to check em out at Richard’s On Richards this Saturday (Jun 27.09). I am sure the show will be incredible.

Oh, and this one doesn’t get old.

♫ Fake Blood – Mars

jean elan

Jean Elan has recently returned from his attempt at chopping Basement Jaxx’s Where’s Your Head At. The song featured a mashup of backdrop noise, while the vocals ran fairly straightforward through the song- similar to that of the original. Luckily, those days are behind us. His remix to Royksopp’s The Girl And The Robot is straight up dirty. It has some heavy electro drops with a real pop flavour that can keep the most reluctant dancing.

Now ‘Carpé Diem’ that Monday.

Hervé

Posted on March 25, 2009 by adam @ aerial noise

Wow, a week sure goes by quick when you’re having a hella good time. 317 recently escaped to Toronto to see the stellar Cut Copy at circa and wow, more on that later. All in all, it’s nice to be back in Ottawa but the inbox is full and there’s lots to hear.

Hervé can be found dwelling in London, UK while occasionally hitting up the surrounding area. You may recognize his work under the side projects: The Count and The Count & Sinden, having produced and released for the labels Cheap Thrills, Domino, Loungin’, and Dubsided. Both projects are unique and worthwhile checking out if you have that kind of time. If you don’t check out these bangers below.

♫ Herve – The Science of Fear (Herve Dub Mix)

Hervé drops some splashy, aggressive electro in The Science of Fear. I love the transitions from the flashy uptempo synth to the mellowness throughout the track. Definitely talented on the board, Hervé is about to show you what he’s all about.

♫ Fake Blood – Mars (Herve Re-Fix)

Hervé tosses up a delightful little rendition to Fake Blood’s Mars that caught my attention (and judging by the activity across Hype I’m not alone). While this is not my favourite mix, and to be honest I prefer the original, it highlights a lot of the sampling capabilities Hervé possesses.

♫ Herve – Cheap Thrills

My grade 4 history teacher would always recite, “you can’t know where you’re going, unless you know where you’ve been.” Sometimes the same goes for music. Here is a little bit of a throwback pieced out of Michael Jackson’s Thriller by Hervé. It can be a tad loopy in some areas but has some incredibly funked out rifts that can force the stiffest people to start bending those knees.

If you’re in the mood for more, Hervé recently dropped a remix to Calvin Harris’ I’m Not Alone.
