Blue Jeans (PatrickReza Remix) - Lana Del Rey



I can honestly say that PatrickReza's remix of Lana Del Rey's "Blue Jeans" is one of my favorite songs I've heard in a while. It's extremely rare in a dubstep track that a beautiful, melodic vibe is maintained throughout the entire song, but PatrickReza pulls it off in this one. Also, the bass line gave me goosebumps the first time I listened to it. The 18-year-old producer from Los Angeles has only been producing for a couple years, and he clearly has tremendous potential. Free downloads of all his music are available on his SoundCloud or on his Facebook with a simple "like," so check him out and enjoy!

Beatz & Pieces Vol. 1 - Gramatik



If you enjoy instrumental hip-hop, trip-hop, or just soulful music, Gramatik may suite your fancy. The Slovenian producer has been involved in music from a young age, whether it be jazz and soul or electronic. Pretty Lights recently recognized Gramatik's knack for music production and signed him to his label, aptly named Pretty Lights Music, under which Gramatik released his most recent album, Beatz & Pieces Vol. 1. The entire album is stupendous in my opinion, but I plucked a couple of my favorites along with a couple that are not on the album to share with you lovely people. You can listen to the entire album along with much more on Gramatik's SoundCloud. Also, Pretty Lights Music offers free downloads of Beatz & Pieces Vol. 1 and much more on its website. Enjoy!

Going Back To Cali (Viceroy 'Jet Life' Remix) - Notorious B.I.G.



Viceroy has come out with a few big tunes lately. His remix of "Going Back To Cali" came out yesterday and has gotten an absurd amount of attention for its super-summery vibe (like all of Viceroy's stuff). I don't even think this is his best tune though. Check out some of his other stuff on his SoundCloud.

Do I See Color - Adventure Club



The relatively new dubstep group known as Adventure Club released another single the other day by the name of "Do I See Color." The duo of Christian Srigley and Leighton James have taken off since their debut in early 2011, and a surprising number of their songs have topped music charts across the world. "Do I See Color" is no different—its catchy synth lines and wobbles make for a fantastic listening experience. Also, if you like "Do I See Color," the rest of Adventure Club's music is available for free download on their SoundCloud. So check them out, like them on Facebook, and enjoy!

Sæglópur (ENiGMA Dubz Remix) - Sigur Rós



Here's a remix of the Icelandic band Sigur Rós' "Sæglópur." ENiGMA Dubz did a great job of capturing the vibe of the original song and throwing a little bit of his own flare in as well. Also included is Mt Eden Dubstep's remix of the same song, which is quite different from the other. Enjoy!

P.S. The original song "Sæglópur" by Sigur Rós is extremely good if you're into super chilled out rock.

How We Became Us (EP) - EWE



Some of you may be familiar with Louis La Roche, a producer from Norwich, England. Well EWE is a side project of Brett Ewels, the man behind Louis La Roche. I would have had no idea the two were the same person if it hadn't stated it on Louis' SoundCloud—the two respective styles are very different (possibly why EWE is just a side project for the time). Anyway, Louis La Roche posted a free download of EWE's EP How We Became Us on his SoundCloud. I'm also including an EWE remix of DJ Shadow's "Scale It Back." Enjoy!

Star Slinger



So the website was down for quite some time, but she's finally back up better than ever. To celebrate, this post features one of my new favorite producers. Star Slinger has been winning audiences over on tour all over Europe, and was recently named by The Guardian the "best new act of the year by miles." This 24-year-old from Manchester has mastered sampling old vinyls to create a really unique feel and sound in his music. He has only toured around Europe thus far in his career, and he had a US tour in the works, but it was cancelled sadly. I like way too much of his music to just post a couple, so there are seven songs included in this one. On an unrelated note, one of his followers on Twitter complained that "star slinger is going all mainstream just because of Juicy J (featured in "Chain Dumbin')," to which Star Slinger replied "Last time i checked under 6k followers wasnt mainstream." So apparently the man isn't mainstream. Feel free to download, hipsters, and enjoy. If you like this, Star Slinger has loads of other music and downloads available on his SoundCloud, Bandcamp, and StarSlinger.net.

Sleepless (EP) - Flume

Sleepless is the title of Australian producer Flume's first EP. "Sleepless" is the first and most popular song on Sleepless, and for good reason. Flume is a 19-year-old whose passion for music production began when he got a music production program out of a box of cereal at the age of 13. This early exposure to production might explain his impressive knack for chopping, mixing, and altering samples with seamless ease. Regardless, it will not be long before you start seeing Flume's name all over blogs. Buy the EP on iTunes for a mere three dollars or check out his SoundCloud for some other free downloads. I've included two other songs that are not on the EP but deserve some recognition. Enjoy!

Le Nonsense



Today I had a (Facebook) chat with Italian producer Le Nonsense. From Milan, this 16-year-old prodigy with a "passion for French House and 80's Disco" has been producing nu-disco/French house/funk for well over a year now. His style is extremely mature for his age (it reminds me of some of Daft Punk's music), and his attention to detail is evident in the songs. Also, Le Nonsense creates completely individualized album artwork to accompany each song he releases, a very classy touch (each song downloaded below will have its accompanying album art). Check out Le Nonsense's SoundCloud or like him on Facebook if you want to hear more from him (or see more album art). He gave me the go-ahead on free download links, so indulge. "Take Care of You" (Le Nonsense "Marine" Remix) was just released a couple hours ago as well, so give that one a listen. Enjoy!

Red Light (Goldroom Remix) - Gigamesh



This track has been a favorite of mine for a while now solely because of its refreshingly groovy beat. The mastermind behind the remix, Goldroom, is relatively unknown around the electronic world, but all his work is of equal quality—with each song he does, he includes a super cool album cover to go along with the vibe of the song. You can check out his SoundCloud, like him on Facebook, or buy more of his music on Beatport if you like this one. Happy new year, and enjoy!
