[Hip-Hop/Rap:] Nav & Metro Boomin’ – Perfect Timing

Rapper NAV collaborates with hit producer Metro Boomin’ in “Perfect Timing.”


[Hip-Hop/Rap:] NAV & Metro Boomin’ – Perfect Timing

Perfect Timing – NAV & Metro Boomin’

By now you’ve probably heard NAV’s music. Whether you realized it or not the rapper has made quite a name for himself in 2017. Featured on the hit Travis Scott single “Beibs in the Trap” NAV has seen his media coverage balloon with the help of friends like The Weeknd and Kylie Jenner. Canadian-born, the Punjabi MC has been making waves throughout the year and has also been featured on more and more tracks, while also releasing mixtapes and an album. Don’t miss out on his collaboration with Metro Boomin’ in “Perfect Timing.”

NAV’s arguably most popular song “Myself”

[House Remixes:] Blu Cantrell – Breathe (feat. Sean Paul) | Pearse Dunn Remix & Calvin Buckley Remix

As summer wraps up, we’re blessed with some fire house remixes of Blu Cantrell’s “Breathe” with Sean Paul.

[House:] Blu Cantrell – Breathe (ft. Sean Paul) [Calvin Buckley Remix]

Apparently it’s hot right now to remix Blu Cantrell’s “Breathe.” The 2003 single featured Sean Paul and enjoyed substantial airplay on hip-hop and R&B radio stations. Just in time for the wrapping of summer 2017 come two great house remixes of the original song.

Pearse Dunn’s remix channels slightly more aggressive dance-ready number, with a  funky BPM and grimey basslines coupled with synths ready to heat up the clubs, this remix definitely has energy. Calvin Buckley’s take is slightly more chill, like a mid-to-late night cut rounding out the night. Think turning up the crowd then gradually letting them mellow back out. Steadily building, echoing synths and snares culminate to a short break before the rhythm and melodies are broken down then built back up.

Both remixes are certainly worth checking out.

[Deep House/Chill Bass] WHTKD – WHTNSE (LTGTR Remix)

LTGTR does the impossible, stepping up WHTKD’s re-make of Disclosure’s “White Noise.”


[Deep House] WHTKD – WHTNSE (LTGTR Remix)

 

Probably one of the best takes on Disclosure’s “White Noise.” Opting for a re-make WHTKD’s atmospheric, deep House cut “WHTNSE” is truly remarkable. The already incredible tune is amped up to a level one may not have thought possible by LTGTR. Adding waves of futuristic synths and channeling WHTKD’s version into a more dance steady BPM, there is little to be desired of LTGTR’s remix. If you are a fan of house, deep house, chill house, chill wave/step, just chill shit, this one should become a regular in your playlists.

[New DJ Mix] Summer 2017 Chill Club Mix – LUMiNUS


Be sure to check out my latest mix, a chill mix of potential club favorites, perfect for 2017’s summer vibes.

Starting off very chill with Phantom’s epic and haunting remix of ODESZA’s “Waited 4 U” the energy picks up as the song transitions to favorites by Tchami, Diplo, Zedd and more!
By far, this is one of the smoothest mixes I’ve done and needed the least post-editing. I am very proud to present this to you all on SoundCloud. Enjoy.

Bebe Rexha – I Got You (Pryor Remix)


Courtesy of the good folks at Selected. Music channel on YouTube, is a brand new Future House banger from Bebe Rexha remixed by Pryor. “I Got You” has quality future house synths, great vocals and is calming and energizing at the same time. Throw in a little trap snare and you’ve got a perfect track for summer days at the beach, by the pool, out in the backyard or wherever your heart’s desire.
