Lion Babe – Wonder Woman (DJ Premier Remix)

tumblr

Certified OG DJ Premier put something chilly on Lion Babe’s “Wonder Woman.” Premo, a true #RealDJ, added some serious downtempo vibes throughout the track leaving the treasure that is Jillian Hervey space to breath. With that “You know it’s Premo” scratch throughout, we know he flexed on this track.

Interesting enough, DJ Premier has left the quintessential remix box before with his remix of “Latch” branching out and imploring us to rethink what a remix is. It’s not about how many bells and whistles you can throw on but the subtleness that makes “Wonder Woman” special.

Izzy Bizu – Diamonds

tumblr

There must be something in the England Channel. First we had Obenewa with “He” and now our ears have fallen in love once again with a 19-year-old London songstress, Izzy Bizu, with “Diamonds.”

Per her SoundCloud profile:

She grew up listening to Ella Fitzgerald, Betty Swan, Betty Wright and James Brown and draws on these alongside newer influences, Amy Winehouse and Adele to create a fusion of soul, funk, jazz and pop that sounds classic and brand spanking new all at once.”

“Diamonds” gives us that glimpse of the Swing era a la Ella Fitzgerald with Amy Winehouse soul. The results are satisfying, Gen X and Y can finally agree on something when searching the AM/FM dial.

Hudson Taylor – World Without You (MÖWE Remix)

Mowe Chromemusic

Mel & Clemens are the creators of MÖWE. This charismatic Viennese duo could not have expected that something which sprouted from boredom on January 10th 2013 would lead to far more. MÖWE is characterized by their powerful performance. However, the duo also relishes the opportunity to collaborate and sing live with other talented guest musicians. I´ve met them three times and only can say they are great, both in music and private!

CYN – Something

tumblr_n6rq42fyn11rurwi8o1_400

There are times and moments when you totally loose your inner self. Even if you feel settled in your mind, if you actually had the clearest ideas of how something has to be and how the outer world has to turn and move. Maybe you know the feeling of being aware of your patterns and bad habits and even you think you already know so much about yourself and the people you see everyday…even then scary moments exist. Or better said – moments when you get scared by yourself. Maybe scared is the wrong term but you get surprised by your patterns that are always all around you and it seems like they are just waiting to get back control.
So what to do? Nothing :) Just watch yourself, be quiet, slow down and listen to this sweet song. Just now you realize how great life can be. Lying next to your loved one, the sun is your early morning call. Looking outside your window and over night someone just coloured all the trees. Press play, what do you see?

P.S.: Thank you for sharing ALL this moments with me. And once again, HAPPY BIRTHDAY.
