First up are a couple of tracks I’ve really taken a liking to. The first one is from Timbaland’s upcoming album “Shock Value 2″ and is the first song I’ve heard off of it since Talk I think. Actually that’s a lie as I listened to the first single from it earlier but I wasn’t overly impressed. It just seemed like a worse The Way I Are, which was a really good song. Anyway a song with Drake leaked from the album and I thought it had a lot of potential. Drake sounds good, limited Timbaland presence (although guessing by the short track length, he may feature more) and according to Young Money HQ the track is still unfinished. Let’s hope it ends up sounding as big as it could do.

Couple of remixes up now. First one is a new Benny Benassi remix of Kid Cudi’s “Pursuit of Happiness” – and I love it. Sure, he’s become more mainstream over the years but his remixes are really enjoyable, with his electro synths and pulsating bass lines. Not sure if it beats the original for me but still it’s a really good remix. Saw it over at Pigeons & Planes so big props there. The other remix is of Calvin Harris’ Flashback by Eric Prydz. I’ve heard the radio rip of this floating around for a bit but only just heard the full length version. It’s quite relaxing for the most part, the echoing chorus being blended well with some laid back synths. I think it may work slightly better than the original actually. Check both out below:
