The Rapture – How Deep Is Your Love (Emperor Machine Remix Edit)

rapture

The 1000 year reign of the Adult Swim Singles series rolls on with this new Rapture remix. This edit is sick but no amount of smooth synth polish can mask that the melody on “How Deep Is Your Love” is totally “The Thong Song”. SISQO & DRU HILL, I know you feel us on this.

drake

On the heels of his gorgeous Burial “Shell of Light” remix, Shlohmo up’d the ante with this UNFUCKINGREAL remix of Drake’s “Marvin’s Room”. This is one of the coolest “chill” rap remixes probably ever. Shlohmo is absolutely killing it right now. We couldn’t be bigger fans. Witness below.

Al Bizzare – Fire Breazze

albizzare

OK, so we did some digging and found another track from the inscrutable Al Bizzare. Maybe it really is Skrillex or maybe it’s David Guetta but it’s most likely it’s just these two relatively unknown Russian dudes. That said, “Fire Breazze” is great and definitely deserves some shine, so here comes.

Little Dragon – Please Turn

Our fav so far off Ritual Union. “Please Turn” is maybe the hardest album track groove LD has been on yet. We’re loving it.

Bombay Bicycle Club – Shuffle (Leo Zero Remix)

shuffle

Annie Mac debuted it on her Friday night BBC program and now b3sci bring you the North American premiere of Leo Zero’s new remix for Bombay Bicycle Club. Mr. Zero levels up the kick, adds a cool new kinetic bassline, and tops it off with some sweet synth and dub guitar flourishes. The resulting mix is fine complement to the original track and amounts to the most delicious of Brit rock electro sundaes for your Monday. (we got rhymes!)

Bummer High – Old Chief

167146_172925052750630_172924759417326_355099_5566170_n

Yeah this rips. Bummer High are a band from Vancouver that are into old country, Spacemen 3, and newer bands like Demon Claws. The sound on “Old Chief” reminds a bit of The Gun Club. Yep, they’re that legit.

Gross Magic – Waiting For You

grossmagic

Gross bro! “Waiting For You” is the latest from Brighton UK’s Sam McGarrigle a/k/a Gross Magic. The song is built around tightly processed electro drums and a simple four-note synth pattern (We’ll see if you can figure what one) and sounds a bit of “I Wish It Was Christmas Today”. See if you can sing it with us, “I Wish It Was Christmas Today. I Wish It Was Christmas Today. I Wish It Was Christmas Today. I Wish It Was Christmas Today.”

John Denver – Country Roads (Pretty Lights Remix)

johndenverkermit

John Denver was one of the original OGs. Here our fav Pretty Lights takes the legendary singer/songwriter’s “Country Roads” for a spin around 2011 electro. Not only can this West Virginia mountain momma do a little two step, she can wobble pretty dang well too. b3sci Mountaineers we want to see those hands in the air.

AIVA – Pink Moon (Nick Drake)

aiva1

AIVA, an artist out of D.C., delivers to you this striking cover of Nick Drake’s classic tune “Pink Moon”. Her take shifts the pensive acoustive shuffle of the original to a spacier, more expansive place. (think Moon Safari or Simple Things). Try out the track below and let us know what you think.
