Old Man Winter


This winter has been relentless in the Northeast. The ridiculous amount of snow combined with blistering cold has forced the best of us to hide out in our own worlds, dreaming of sunshine and warm weather. Alas, this is no way to live winter. So let's get out there, experience the world and revolt against Old Man Winter. Unfortunately, there is plenty of winter left, so here are some great jams to get you off your ass. (All mediafire links this week, so alas, no player. Apologies.)

It is very bold to try to remix such layered music as Gorillaz, but Miami Horror is a bold act. This 7:19 long track is epic and features everything you love about both artists.

Gorillaz - Empire Ants (Miami Horror Remix) Link removed by request. Check it on YouTube.

I posted a slick Gucci Mane remix a few weeks ago done by this kid Brenton Duvall. From everything I have read about this guy, he's definitely latching onto the Sam Adams/whiteboy rap producer bandwagon. However, Duvall crushes these mashup/remixes and makes great party music out of heavy hip hop.

I love Lykke Li. Her voice is amazingly sexy, but sometimes her jams are a little too mellow for the party crowd. This remix has a very cool mix of tribal drum beats and big band horns to create a very unique, yet satisfying track.

This song shares a similar sound to the last jam in its tribal drums and ethereal vocals. Very unique, yet familiar at the same time. One of my favorite songs right now.

Tanlines - Real Life (Memory Tapes Remix)

I have never heard of either the original artist or remix artist here, but that is sometimes amazing. In this case, the seriously heavy 80s vibe makes this a sexy party winner. Make sure to pay attention at 1:15.
