This week’s SMM features an eclectic mix of downtempo, deep house and disco favorites. We start off with Sweden’s rising bliss-house stars Monitor 66 with their new release “Follow You.” Then move into a Thyladomid take on the Chris Isaak’s classic “Wicked Game.” We have yet another Flight Facilities masterpiece, this time a remix for Miike Snow’s “The Wave,” while Manik delivers deep comfort in a rework of Frank Ocean’s “Pink Matter.” Lastly, we finish off with Todd Terje’s famed Hot Chip remix of “How Do You Do.” (more…)
Few men in the music industry had a bigger 2012 than Frank Ocean. His debut album Channel Orange was released to critical acclaim, he won a Grammy, and was the catalyst for global discourse on sexuality. Ocean’s collaboration with André 3000 was one of the (many) standout tracks from the album, which Butch has now remixed. Many producers have tried their hands at Frank’s tracks but Butch’s rendition stands out amongst the crowd with its throaty bass line and spastic percussion. The track injects new life into “Pink Matter” while maintaining the integrity and soul of the original. Unfortunately, Butch likely won’t be testing this one out on a crowd any time soon. “I’m pretty sure that I will not play this in any club, because [it doesn't match] my style.”
I spent 3 days in the desert heat lugging around camera gear to bring you back some shots from Coachella 2012. Do you know how hard it is to party with a backpack full of expensive photography equipment? It’s practically impossible. While I go see a chiropractor, you can check out the photos in our Facebook album.
