Her “Summertime Sadness” hit took on new life with its Cedric Gervais remix, and now Lana Del Rey is crashing the dance party with her latest single. Providing The Great Gatsby’s soundtrack with its lead single, Lana’s “Young & Beautiful” is the next record to keep an eye out for. Marcus Schossow is the first to offer his rendition, or in this case, his “Summer Remix.” The euphoric progression matches the emotion of the looming season of sun and heat, and Schossow will be giving away his remix for free as summer approaches.
Though it’s certainly in no position to usurp the massive hype around Cedric Gervais’s remix of “Summertime Sadness,” Ryan Hemsworth’s take on Lana Del Rey’s moving and melancholic ballad is still a worthy rendition. Hemsworth blankets Lana Del Rey’s doleful lyrics with wistful synths and an engrossing trap beat, crafting a potent auditory anesthetic. If you’re a fan of the more tranquil side of trap music, Ryan Hemsworth’s remix of “Summertime Sadness” is just about as chill as it gets.
It can go without saying that dance music producers have an undeniable love affair with the sultry vocals of the newly dubbed pop princess Lana Del Rey. Whether it is her subtle soothing soul or her lyrical flow, it is clear that producers can’t get enough of her slew of top 10 hits. Throughout 2012, dance music enthusiasts received remixes of Del Rey’s tracks, turning her sweet sound into dance-worthy beats with the help of Gesaffelstein, RAC and AlunaGeorge to name a few.
Dancing Astronaut staffers took note of Gemini‘s rhythmic dubstep version of “Born to Die” as well as LA Riots & GTA‘s joint venture on “Video Games“–strengthening the romance even more. Now Monsieur Adi is here to bring us the latest and possibly best Del Rey revamp to-date — a remix of “Summertime Sadness.” The Frenchman transforms the poppy melody into a noteworthy dance production, skipping between the genres of trap, electro, house and hip-hop. Monsieur Adi fluidly transitions between genres giving listeners an almost five-minute mini mix highlighting the sensual sounds of Lana’s voice before unloading a pumping house beat and finishing with lingering drum kicks.

If you’ve enjoyed the recent wave of chill trap that’s been featured on Dancing Astronaut – à la Aylen’s remix of “Fix You” and Victor Niglio’s remix of “Ode to Oi” — you will love what Sound Remedy has done to Lana Del Rey’s ”Video Games.” While the original was one of the most remixed tunes of 2012, Sound Remedy pays tribute to both the songstress and the burgeoning trap movement by providing a catchy, polished rendition.
While many trap songs get docked as being too minimal, Sound Remedy’s remix of “Video Games” elegantly evades the stereotype. Lana’s lovely vocals are complimented by sparkling, effervescent synths, as well as a fitting 8-bit melody. If you enjoy the remix, grab it for free from Sound Remedy’s Facebook.

Yesterday we featured Blende’s June 2012 mix, and now today we have a stellar remix collaboration with Sweden’s own Adrian Lux. Botched Saturday Night Live appearances aside, Lana Del Rey still has one of the most enchanting and seductive voices to hit airwaves in recent memory.
Adrian Lux and Blende team up to create one of the best remixes of this young stunner’s stand out track “Video Games” (and there have been many.) Lux’s melodic sensibilities paired with Blende’s electro-disco style are a match made in audio heaven. With arpeggios as silky smooth as Lana’s voice and a grinding electro breakdown with some serious bump, this track is a must grab. Watch for its Swedish release on Universal Records on June 16th and then wait patiently for the US version to drop sometime in the next few weeks.
Lana Del Rey’s “Video Games” has already received remixes from Cazzette and Joris Voorn. LA Riots and GTA join forces to create their rendition of this popular tune, after listening to this more than a few times, we’ve got to say that this offering has impressed us greatly. It’s mellow, but features an energetic drop that fuses tribal elements with club worthy synths. No release date has been announced, but we assure you that we will be all over it as soon as it gets announced. Until then, we expect this play button on this SoundCloud link to be abused frequently.

Lana Del Rey’s wistfully romantic “Video Games” is the latest track to benefit from Joris Voorn’s Midas touch. The Dutchman’s edit doesn’t try to do much, adding little more than a subtle, almost tribal bassline. But really, that’s all the track needed. Voorn’s delicate rework dutifully respects the original’s layered richness, adding just a touch of tech house sensibility to create a love story for the dance floor. Pull your loved one closer, hold him/her tight, and feel the groove of music made by people who clearly understand intimacy.
