Club 8 – Jesus, walk with me (The Sound of Arrows remix).mp3

This remix is anything but new, but I felt it was noteworthy because of its deviance from the traditional ‘remix’. Nowadays remixing has become easier and more pervasive, however, the quality has suffered in a majority of the creations. This remix is a sublime example of reworking and rebuilding a piece to not only sound different, but also to create a new experience through reinterpretation; all while avoiding remix clichés.

Sound of Arrows – M.A.G.I.C..mp3

Some super catchy and full-sounding synth pop from Sweden. The Sound of Arrows released their first 12″ vinyl In the Clouds on Neon Gold last Tuesday. These tracks are a great anthem for the last sunny/warm days of summer.
