Nick Catchdubs : Crystal Park
Nick Catchdubs assembles quite a journey of a mixtape entitled “Crystal Park”. It is collection of vibed out tunes that represent the current musical climate as well as the weather that is falling upon us. Nick Catchdubs has a fantastic ability of assembling genres and tunes that I would usually not relate to but through the power of context and vibe I am instantly won over by the tracks. “Crystal Park” is a perfect example of such a mix. The magic moment of the mix is when he drops Miguel’s “Do You” and from there the mix just goes off.
Emil & Friends : “Royal Oats” EP + Minimix
“I sow my royal oats with you…”
Excited to announce that Emil & Friends is back with Kitsuné to release a “Royal Oats” (the track off the Kitsuné America Comp) along with a new track “Internal Affairs” and three fantastic remixes from some lovely internet homies of mine. Dubka provides a super slick disco funk remix, Radial turns the song into a big synth pop banger and DVNO transforms “Royal Oats” into a track that sounds like it should be the theme song to John Hughes 90s Ferris Bueller sequel that never came to be. Please give this mini-mix a listen that I helped put together and pick up the release October 22!
LOL Boys x CFCF
CFCF gets super meta on their remix of LOL Boys’ “Changes” as they sample Bruce Hornsby’s famous piano part that Tupac sampled on “Changes” – so this remix is a remix of a sample of a remix. #SOMETA
This remix EP is a massive collection of tracks and will be out October 16th via Friends of Friends. I am not gonna lie, the Todd Edwards remix is one of the best tracks I have heard this year, so everyone get excited and pre-order it now.
