This RAC remix of Sunday Girl's Love U More is just the kind of music I love to chill out to in the fall, it's catchy and upbeat while still having a bit of a slow groove.  Take a listen:

Slightly more upbeat is Empty Streets by Ghost Beach
  Ghost Beach-Empty Streets by Crazy Heart Records

Last up is Come and Go by Alan Wilkis; something you can zone out to while walking in the city. Enjoy.

Beautiful People - the video

Yesterday Chris Brown released the video to his club banger, Beautiful People, which we posted earlier this week.  It's not bad.  The song is fantastic regardless.  What do you think?

beat her down brown

I really can't stomach Chris Brown after the Rihanna beatings, but I can't deny that I've been loving his most recent singles.  To make up for it I've posted the most ridiculous picture of him that I could find.

Benni Benassi's sick beats plus Chris Brown's smooth voice make a winning duo:
  Beautiful People by boubou-star

love lost

i know it's been far too long and i have a whole list of songs i need to post but for now you'll just have to settle for the one.  i've been obsessed with this song and i can't live with myself if i don't post if for you guys.

  The Temper Trap - Love Lost (Keljet Remix) by keljet

don't hesitate on downloading this one

Love Lost (Keljet Remix) - The Temper Trap

what goes around

i am in no way ashamed of my love for justin timberlake's "what goes around comes around", it's a fantastic song - great layers, vocals, the crescendo is incredible.  so when i came across the song mashed with finley quaye & william orbit's "dice" (another favorite) i obviously took a listen.  the songs' similar chord progressions blend seamlessly thanks to mrgann's smooth stylings.  if you haven't heard of him be educated; he's a promising 21-yr old musician from hungary.

so check out his song below and download

somebody to love

Tonight I listened to Jefferson Airplane for the first time in a while and was excited to realize that they were clearly influential to Florence + The Machine.  And how can I do a "Somebody to Love" post without including some Queen? 

so here's the original

  Jefferson airplane - somebody to love by beeq

unfortch this remix has reached it's download limit, but take a listen, it's a nice version

  Jefferson Airplane - Somebody to Love (Lambox Remix) by Lambox

  Jefferson Airplane - Somebody to Love (DJ Dain's "Grace With Attitude" Mix) by DJ Dain

some queen

  12 - Deepfield - Somebody To Love (Queen) by restinpeace

this version of queen's "somebody to love" is a total guilty pleasure of mine.  it's from the cheeseball movie Ella Enchanted but Anne Hathaway really does the song justice.  I was surprised to learn she had such a set of pipes.  It's a really successful arrangement of a classic.  enjoy the lovely photo montage, my favorites are the ultra 90's looks.  there's also a nip slip for you pervs out there

black&gold

Just heard a great Ellie Goulding dubstep track in which she covers Sam Sparro's "Black and Gold" the result is pure success.

The Cover:
Black & Gold (Slick Werk Dubstep Remix) - Ellie Goulding

The Original:
Black & Gold - Sam Sparro

Wale's Take:
The Black & Gold ft. Sam Sparro - Wale

one of my favorite artists covering one of the greatest oldschool techno "songs"  Ellie Goulding's voice lends itself perfectly to the smooth melody of Black and Gold.

and here's a bonus ellie goulding remix because i feel like it
Under the Sheets (KIDS AT THE BAR remix) - Ellie Goulding

the last of 2010

Here's an assortment of songs I hadn't had a chance to put up til now.  Happy New Year!

I came across this remix a couple of weeks ago of Seal's Amazing.  The original is excellent, and the remix is a bit of a more laidback version.

Amaing (Kaskade Remix) - Seal

Some Weezy for you

6 Foot 7 ft. Corey Gunz - Lil Wayne

here's a laidback luke mix of Ain't That Enough.  Just the right amount of the cheesy 80's vocals guetta so loves

Ain't That Enough (Laidback Luke Bootleg) - David Guetta

another animal remix

Animal Hands (Waka Flocka vs Deadmau5) - DJ Fergie Ferg

I'm super picky when it comes to remixes of groups like MGMT and Passion Pit, this one makes the cut.

Electric Feel (Prince Language) - MGMT

I'm usually not one for soul remixes, but this one is hard to stop listening to

Let's Get It On (PURPL PoP REMIX) - Marvin Gaye

This song reminds me of some good old fashioned 90's techno, take a listen and bring it back
Whole (Original Mix) - Benjamin Bates
