Elley Duhé - Immortal (Snakehips Remix)

Back in December singer/songwriter Elley Duhé dropped her debut track "Immortal," which has gone on to garner more than a million plays on Soundcloud alone. This morning megastars Snakehips have added their own touch to the ear-worming awesomeness of "Immortal." Their energetic and eclectic mix of sounds and styles instantly grabbed me, reminding me Wave Racer's remix of their own track "All My Friends," as covered on this blog here. It's smooth, super sexy, and slightly spicy. The bed that Snakehips have built brings the bounce big time and just feels so incredibly comfortable, that I want to lay in it all day and night. If I owned a radio station, I'd be sure to have this playing multiple times a day, it has everything: catchy vocals, exciting instrumentation and a groove that just doesn't die.FOLLOW ELLEY DUHÉ: FACEBOOK SOUNDCLOUD TWITTER

Riggadale - Cuddle Season 5

Toronto's own Riggadale, graced us with the fifth installment of his Cuddle Season mix series. This one is delivered in perfect timing for the immanent snowstorm, for which hunkering down, wrapping yourself in a blanket and cuddling with your significant other has become a necessity.

Riggadale's half hour of down-tempo vibes are sure to warm the soul. Incredibly smooth mixing and smart track selection make this Cuddle Season installment a mesmerizing masterpiece. With the necessary nod to the 6ix god, Drake, in his "Change Locations," and inescapably awesome remixes from Snakehips and Shlohmo of Flight Facilities "Heart Attack" and Lianne La Havas "Forget," respectively, Riggadale delivers a mix deserving of comparison to Ta-ku's now infamous "Drive Slow, Homie"mix series. Whether it was a conscious nod to Ta-ku or not, the inclusion of Stwo's "Haunted" with the line "Drive slow" is simple perfection. Whether it's the delightful Darius track "Helios," Lido's touching take on Alessia Cara's "Here" or the ingenious inclusion of "How Deep Is Your Love" a cappella, Riggadale has crafted a magical mix, worthy of countless repetitions.

Snakehips ft. Tinashe & Chance The Rapper - All My Friends (Wave Racer Remix)

Australian DJ and producer, Wave Racer, has followed up with Flash Drive EP with a swanky remix of Snakehips' sensational single, "All My Friends," featuring both Tinashe and Chance The Rapper. The original has garner support from all over the scene and has seen a number of remixes from the likes of 99 Souls, PREP, and MVJESTY. Personally, my favourite is the Wave Racer version; easy listening, catchy and just the right production for Wave Racer's unique, bright, bouncy and bumping style. Between the jumping bassline, bright bell chime sounds, popping bubble fills, video game sound effects clips, and echoing vocal manipulations, Wave Racer has absolutely hit this remix out of the park. There are very few producers whose catalogue is entirely 4 and 5 stars in my iTunes library but it seems Wave Racer is incapable of producing anything even close to mediocre. Whether it's original productions like "Stoopid," "Streamers," or "Bubble Wrap," or a remix like "Always," "Stand Still," or "Ryan Must Be Destroyed," that sparkling Wave Racer sound that is so utterly infectious, makes everything better.
