Shaggy – Wasn’t Me (Viceroy “Jet Life” Remix)
After last weeks’ remix of ‘September’, it would be rude not post this effort by American producer Viceroy. Taking a completely different tack, Viceroy adds a summertime, tropical vibe to Shaggy’s hit. Though it’s quite funny, it’s still quite good!
The Paper Kites – Bloom (Drag & Drop PR vs. Osxilate Remix)
If Angus Stone, early era Bombay Bicycle Club and Ben Howard are your thing, listen up. The Paper Kites’ ‘Bloom’ was originally released in 2011 by the Australian indie folk group.

The simple piano track overlayed with sax, mindless vocals and an ever-so-catchy hook, we reckon this might just set your tropical house vibes into overdrive.
Alesso ft. Roy English – Cool (Autograf Remix)

An emerging talent in the dance music scene, Autograf blends Madeon-style synths with a Kygo-inspired groove to create something funky, fresh, but also accessible to the mainstream listener. As much as we love the original, its hard not to be swayed by the complexity of this … Continue reading
