Slow Magic ft. Tropics - Light (Omniboi Remix)

Los Angeles' Omniboi continues to carve out a unique position for himself with a masterful mix of jazz influenced, future bass. You've probably heard his "Bad And Boujee" remix and I seem to remember sharing "Twinkle Bang Bang" on this blog, but it's one of his more recent releases that has caught my attention today. His remix of Slow Magic's "Light" is ludicrously laudable. While it opens inauspiciously, the groove takes little time to take over. The strings sweep you off your feet as the percussion pulverizes you in the most magnificent way possible. As always seems to be the case, Omniboi conjures up some sublime strides with brilliant bells, that pair perfectly with all the other instruments. Even the way the vocals are used illustrates Omniboi's divine plan for each and every element, there's a right place and power for each sound and sample. It's bright, bold and beautiful from beginning to end with precious piano, stunning strings and vaporous vocals. Bask in the "Light" and download here.FOLLOW OMNIBOI: FACEBOOK SOUNDCLOUD TWITTER

San Holo vs Kanye West - Lights (Nitti Gritti Remix)

There's remixes, DJ tools, edits and mashups, and then there's what Miami's Nitti Gritti has done here. "Lights" combines the epic brass arc of Kanye's "All Of The Lights" as covered by Alexander Lewis and Brasstracks, while managing to maintain the indie electronic sparkle of San Holo's "Light." To have the horns rise in revelry from out of the ethereal chorus of "I just wanna see the light" is one thing, but to have Rihanna join in is sheer magic. Even when the two tracks are most oppositional (1:17ish), their mixture actually seems strong. Especially towards the end of the track, Nitti Gritti's mixing mastery shines through. He's able to flip back and forth between the two ingredients, whipping together an entirely new and appealing original. Brighten up your day with "Lights," available free via Hive, here.

Fan Fiction - when angels s1ng

My cat is running around like a lunatic today, but that may be a result of my repeated play of Fan Fiction's latest release. Dropped just after midnight last night as a part of NITE CORP.'s 13 track LIGHT release, Fan Fiction took on Donae'o and his track with Terri Walker "When Angels Sing."

When you're talking NXC there's very few, if any, that rival Fan Fiction, and this is just the latest example. Obviously this is a tremendous original track (my favourite from Donae'o), but the way it gets transformed here is genius. It's fast and fluttery as with any NXC track, but it's not overwrought. Fan Fiction does a brilliant job maintaining the delicate overture of the original. It remains refined while boosting the energy, like a shot of adrenaline to the heart. It may be my favourite on LIGHT, but there's a few more fire flips, including Machinedrum's "Angel Speak" and Hellberg's "The Girl," all of which are available absolutely free. Add some NITE CORP. to your day and feel a fire lit under you feet. FOLLOW FAN FICTION: FACEBOOK SOUNDCLOUD TWITTER
