First song up today is Doorly’s Dubstep Remix of Mr. Hudson’s “Supernova.” It’ s a very good remix as you’d expect from Doorly, I really enjoyed his remixes of Hooligans & Bonkers and so predictably I enjoyed this remix. The thumping baseline and instrumental areas sound really good and this may even edge out Calvin Harris’ remix. Check it out below.

We also got sent an EP by Alan Wilkis which has been good. The EP is described as being full of 808s and synth beats, and they are there in abundance. They work well though and really create a sound reminiscent of the 80s. Of course the 80s sound is one which is becoming more popular in mainstream music these days with both Ladyhawke and La Roux having recent success by looking to the 80s for inspiration. Anyway back to Alan Wilkis, his EP “Pink and Purple” is composed of 6 songs which all offer something different vocally and all leave a distinct impression. There are some major artists who had been brought on to add to the songs, but I feel it is Alan’s simple formula which makes the EP what it is and makes it sound appealing. All the tracks are good but I’ll post up my 2 favourites, “Pink and Purple” and “Dance With You” – between which you can hopefully tell the variation in delivery. If you like fun, synth driven pop you should like this.
I was gonna post about Common’s track with The Jonas Brothers here but I won’t as it’s old news now. I’ll post up a couple of Chillin’ remixes instead. First one is the DJ Benzi & Willy Joy Remix of Chillin’ which is REALLY good. An MP3 should be available on DJ Benzi’s website some time in the future but until then you can preview the video on Vimeo. It’s a really good remix. The other remix is the Skratch Bastid Remix of the song. It’s really good as well with its heavy bassline however I think they would have been better off removing GaGa’s vocals completely. The M.I.A. sample that comes in half way through for a few seconds works really well actually – maybe Wale should have ran with that?
I really liked your blog! I submitted it to digg. The jonas brothers are awesome
