Remix Alert: MGMT's - Electric Feel (Frank Ocean Remix)

              Did you know that Frank Ocean has a mixtape? If you didn't I'm happy to tell you that there are some great Frank Ocean songs that you've been missing out on. One of these beautiful compositions just so happens to be a remix of one of MGMT's most popular songs "Electric Feel", a personal favorite of mine. In the remix, Ocean uses the power of his exceptional singing voice to transform the groovy tune into a beautiful, and very sexual experience. Through the duration of the song, Frank describes what he's "been meaning to" with the help of some really amazing background vocals that really immerse you into the track. What I really like about this song is that Frank Ocean made it his own. Of course what is going on instrumentally is the same, but because of the amazing singing and musicality of Ocean, it feels completely different. There are very few artists that can make a remix sound fantastic while still keeping their authenticity and distinct style, and for that I respect him. This one should definitely be on the bedroom mix. Check it out. And download his mixtape  http://www.datpiff.com/Frank-Ocean-Nostalgia-Ultra-mixtape.210282.html

Remix Alert: Major Lazer - Jah No Partial (Yellow Claw & Yung Felix Remix)

So the original song used to be one of my favorites by Major Lazer because of the energy of it.  It is a perfect song to get hyped to. It has a nice build up and it presents the club beat in a really cool way. But this remix just blows it out of the water. The toughness of this beat is just indescribable, the drums, bass, and the original sample for the song just work well together. This bumps in the whip, in headphones, at a party, everywhere all the time. If you need to liven the party up this song would be a definite candidate for the job. It's high energy from start to finish, and is sure to be a crowd pleaser. Sorry I don't have much to say, but this one pretty much speaks for itself. Check it out.

 And the original is pretty good too.....
