It’s Da Weeknd!

The Weeknd - Echoes - Remixes by ill-esha and samples

Clearly, The Weeknd has made a big splash in 2011! His version of sexed up electronic infused R&B grabs people with musical and vocal hooks and the stripped down, sexualized synth driven productions clearly lend themselves well to remixes and the frenzy that has come after each release has only worked to fuel the fire of hype. ill-esha, Chris B. and Sugarpill most certainly hit home runs with their last batch of remixes from “House of Balloons”. With the recent release of “Echoes of Silence”, +verb had a remix that will make most producers hang up their headphones and not only that but he had it out in less than 12 hours after the release (caffeine much?). Ill-Esha and Napsty took their time (a mere few days after the release) and remixed “XO/The Host” with a future garage beat and a solid low end that will make anyone want to shake their ass. In his typical fashion, Samples takes on The Weeknd’s remake of Michael Jackson’s infamous “Dirty Diana” and adds enough saw wave brain damage to bring MJ moonwalking back from the grave.  Lord have Mercy, can I get an AMEN?!

ENJOY!

Flyer Than A Star Trek Ship


One thing I’ve always said that makes Freddy Todd dope is his consistency, and Freddy’s been consistently pushing the utter sickness through our airspace this year and last with his driving rhythms, unpredictable synths, and overall obese-as-hell crunkness. The result is a giant BLIP on the glitch hop radar that shows Freddy Todd making waves in 2010 and hopefully dropping bombs on more cities soon. (We’re still waiting, Freddy) Anyone who’s followed us for awhile should already be familiar with this man and the label he’s signed with: Run Riot Records, who’s still got a cavalcade of crazy talented artists just lurking in the wings.


Freddy Todd – Space 5 Penthouse Suite


Freddy Todd – Grind Baby


Freddy Todd – Detroit Gets It


Look out for Freddy Todd’s upcoming release for Space 5 Penthouse Suite on Car Crash Set. It’ll be a heavy compilation of remixes of the above tracks by Mochipet, NiT GriT, ill-esha, Samples, Inaudible, and Elfkowitz. Click them for previews or peep these two below:


Freddy Todd- Space 5 Penthouse (NiT GriT Remix) by NiT GriT
