One Republic, Love Thy Brother, MDNT, Jez Dior, Smarterchild, Clara La San, The Golden Boy, A Tribe Called Quest, Bit Funk

Today is a good day. Post kickoff is for the Montreal duo Love Thy Brother. They put out a remix on One Republic’s ‘If I Lose Myself’. Takes it away from it’s original radio sound with some Synthpop/Dubstep-ish influences. Description says “..it’s impossible to categorize their electronic reinterpretation.” Nope, Dubstep Power Balad it is.

Word from Smarterchild. He’s been doing more studio sessions lately, some of those together with Brooklyn artists MDNT and Jez Dior. Which makes him the producer behind ‘Dreamcatcher’, a new track by MDNT & Dior. Slightly darker production, slow-paced, and beautiful layered vocals by MDNT. Reminds of some earlier work by Smarterchild. Also credit where credit is due, high quality music video by Colin Kelly.

Speaking of doing plenty of studio sessions, London singer/producer Clara La San works out some more music too. Two tracks in fact, titled ‘Friends’ and ‘1 Night’. That first one adopts this neat little J Dilla production, which you can hear below. Of all tracks in the past month it’s one of the lighter songs. And that’s ten quality songs in one month.

Pete Oak freshens up Justin Timberlake’s ‘Like I Love You’ the right way. Slow guitar-infused, could-be soundtrack to a Mission impossible/Rain Man mashup. (Would watch.) Download link is tricky though, probably maxed out by now. Hoping for an alternative link.

That’s enough slow stuff for today though. Also quite stoked with Golden Boy’s new upload, ‘Won’t Do It’. Very mixable track, fits perfectly in an ongoing wave of awesome basshouse tracks.

Just checking the SC-radar one last time before posting things, Up comes this new Bit Funk remix on A Tribe Called Quest’s ‘1nce Again’. Must post, fantastic track. Melodies kinda similar to this.
