This could have been one of the big dancefloor tunes, if the Lazer would have put some more effort into it. Like this it’s still big, Sean Paul sounds like he did in his early days and the Major Lazer beat is nice but somehow goes into too much of a trancey, ravey part in the hook and finally is nothing more but a build up tune, that constantly builds up and builds up.. but is leading nowhere. Still i like it bc of Sean Paul and festivals will celebrate it. I guess that’s what it’s aiming for.
Seems like Pharrell and Daft Punk found their very own style and i am glad to see that it’s becoming an ongoing dream team collabo that is transferring right onto Pharrells new solo album. After last years overplayed mega anthem, which was still a great song – but just too much, too often… i am glad to hear this one is even more and deeper in the same vein of that sexy organic disco funk and quirky smooth seducing singing. Love the new one – reminds me a lot of Jamiroquai.
Everybody’s favourite Austrian beatmakers make a sweet mix out of tender and well known indie anthems by bands like Angus & Julia Stone, Bon Iver and basically all the music every alternative, hipster cafe has played during daytime for the last couple of years. Well they get a lot of criticism from the guys that call themselves real “electronic producers” and i hear that a lot when we meet, but one thing should be taken in consideration when criticizing someone for just adding a kick or doing minor productions on finished tracks… When you go out to dinner, it’s not the amount of ingredients and spices that counts but whatever gets served on your plate. And sometimes, or actually quite often, less is more. Take the italian or the japanese cuisine for example and their simple but carefully selected ingredients of just one or two spices like olive oil and some good salt, that makes every tomato taste better. It still tastes like the very same tomato, enriched with a few rewarding flavours.
Same goes for this whole edit game that took flight on Soundcloud over the past few years. Apart from the overproduced US EDM tools that are more marketing than anything this is another one of the common trends on Soundcloud. Edit a simple song and make it danceable for the floor. And with their Warner release of Bedouin Soundclashs’ Brutal Hearts ft Coeur de Pirate you will wonder if they have done any production at all compared to the original, but the result and that thumping kick will have you grooving once on the floor. We will see how good their own productions fare, and you can be justifiably sceptical, for we have seen too many edit creators fail as actual musicians, but when it comes to simple edits for your house game: Point proven and case closed. Enjoy these 18 selected edits of some already lovely tracks!
