Kygo – Nothing Left (The Golden Pony Remix)

Outstanding remix of Kygo’s ‘Nothing Left’ by emerging brooklyn duo The Golden Pony and if i would play electronic music in clubs, this would definitely be one of my songs to play at the next party. Either way, let’s take a look what they have to say about it:

“We remember seeing Kygo’s remix’s on Soundcloud a few years back and thinking that it was a fresh and interesting sound. Little did we know he would ultimately create a whole new sub genre of music, and that his signature metallic plucks are now being incorporated into a wide variety of musical styles from Trap to Pop music!
The vocal in “Nothing Left” really grabbed us as it has a soulful, almost gospel quality, which is something we gravitate towards. We sped up the vocal considerably to get it to a house music tempo (which luckily worked out), and then worked on getting some bangin’ bass and drum rhythms that will fit into our dj sets!

Amazing Growth: Hippie Sabotage – Able To See Me (Tali Kouch Flip)

I’m deeply into Cali’s own Hippy Sabotage and the musical spheres they create since day one. Figured out that dates back to some day in July 2013 when they first released a video on vimeo (that’s gone by now btw.) using their ‘Stay High (Tove Lo Flip)‘ when only a hand full had them on the radar, i guess. But that doesn’t really matter to me. What’s far more important is, that the original video, which only has seen a handful of views compared to the mentioned one, was far better because the main character Chanelle Elise fits perfectly to the mood of the song :)  No offence Tove Lo – only love – you’re a real beauty and i like the kind a ‘Smack My Bitch Up’ styled-video. But Take a closer look – maybe you think the same way. She would fit again on this one too…It’s nice to see Hippy Sabotage grow on a musical level. Chapeau! They used the beautiful voice of Toronto’s 19 year old singer/songwriter Tali Kouch on this one.

Elk Road – Not To Worry ft. Governors

Australian producer Elk Road with a dreamy chill-trap instrumental garnished with soaring vocals from Governors that ends in a percussive drop. Haven’t heard a thing from both of them until today but it seems to fit smoothly. This one instantly takes me away from the keyboard while i’m writing. Maybe cause it’s 3am over here in good cold munich. Probably it’s time to close my eyes…
