“The psychedelic original is revamped into an electro-pop monster that recalls U2 as much as it does On An On‘s synthier side. Listen below.” – All Things Go
It’s summer time again and Night Drive is releasing the second installment of their “Summer Covers Series”. Following last years dark disco Radiohead cover (“Where I End and You Begin”), they’ve now filtered the Perfume Genius track, “Queen” through a dancier electronic lens.
In honor of the Grateful Dead’s 50th anniversary, we thought we’d play tribute by covering one of their classic tunes “New Speedway Boogie” !! The cover features Clint Maedgen on Vocals and Sax from Preservation Hall Jazz Band.

Two new Night Drive remixes in one day!!! Hell yeah! That’s a great way to start of the weekend!
Last month we all took note when LA’s Goldroom released the stems for his latest single, Till Sunrise, for a series of premixes. You’ve seen plenty of premixes and remixes floating about over the past several weeks. Here’s one more, you do not want to miss.
Night Drive’s been busy in the studio producing their new album. When they heard the airy vocal stems, the two producers decided to make use of the studio time and put their own spin on the track. Adding live bass, guitars, and layered with silky electronic textures, Night Drive has created a unique track that stands all on its own. The remix picks up the pace with a soothing pulse of energy that glides along the top of a soft undercurrent to the end of summer.
A few weeks ago we were treated to the beautifully haunting downtempo sounds of “Solid Gold,” the brand new single from Melbourne electronic duo Back Back Forward Punch. Accompanying the track was a stunning music video shot and directed by Jimmy Ennett (of Crux Media), together constructing a world of anticipation as their story of unraveling perceptions and coming of age unfolds.
Now here’s a remix of the track from Canadian beat connoisseur Pat Lok, which holds the mood well inside the light with his unrelenting influence of animated disco-house beats, as he explores an uplifting environment where smiling and dancing seem like the only things that ever really mattered.
Lewis Watson’s recently shared album cut “Stay” has been treated to a remix. London’s We The Wild brought their unique orchestration to the single, giving it a dark dance-pop edge.
Victory is the music project of LA artist Robert Fleming, who crafts sun-bleached rock & roll with a pop edge. His debut LP, Victory Is Music, was released earlier this year, and he followed it up last week with his Soothing Me So EP. The EP contains the album version of the single, two brand new remixes, and a special cover track.
Now, check out house/dance producers Enso (who have done remixes for Sleigh Bells, Icky Blossoms, etc.) who’s remixed his single “Soothing Me So,” turning it into a dancefloor banger.
Don’t miss UK’s TOURIST, the classically trained producer when he returns to play live in New York, Miami and Los Angeles this December. You can watch a piano version of “I Have No Fear” to get in the mood…
or listen to the NPR Live in Concert session that was taped at his Mountain Oasis show here. The recent signing to the UK duo Disclosure’s label Method Records will release his brand new Patterns EP in 2014. In honor of his first American tour which brought him to CMJ to do showcases with Pigeons & Planes and Pitchfork, and visits to Chicago, Miami, San Francisco, Denver and Los Angeles’ HARD Festival, he had shared the track “Together” which you can listen to below.
His new remixes for CHVRCHES, Haim and Sam Smith tracks are out now and reached #1 spots in the Hype Machine charts (listen to them all below).
