Qknox x Beyonce

Denver's Qknox (1/3 of the GirlGrabbers) laces up a handful of Beyonce remixes that run from smooth jazz keys to this post-post take on "End of Time." A super slow build of vocals and strings gives way to some sweet bleeps, sweeps and beats.

Biggie remix

I'm usually not too hot on remixes of classic hip hop tunes of the mid-90s because oftentimes they end up being weaker renditions of the original. When they work is when they don't just leverage a couple of great verses, but change the entire vibe of the song. Recontextualization. That's the name of the game with this super laidback remix of Notorious B.I.G.'s anthem.

Aura (McClenney Version)

This flip of an STWO tune is bananas. Get ready to move smartly.

Muto Remix

A huge, space-blasted rendition of JT.

Sweater Beats Remix

The up-and-comer puts a massive beat behind Flume & Chet Faker's "Drop the Game." Rough side of the smoothness.

"Talk is Cheap" (Ta-Ku Remix)

so slowed down

Uncon Sci

Mind-melting retro-futuristic-ragga remix from a Denver-based producer.

"Yala" (Falcons Remix)

Falcons takes a chop into some M.I.A. and the results are tough. Early spring banger.

Okay II - Remix EP

Digging this opening remix from Spazzkid. Things get downright ~~lethargic~~ lysergic around :49 and kick into higher gear at 2:20ish. Turn it up loud and stop doing other stuff for a minute.

"Patrick" (Classy Individual Remix)

Just finished this on Sunday. Even with the stems, this one was a challenge because the original is really tight, and very finely chopped. I pulled it all apart and reconstructed the pieces at a slower tempo. Added a couple flourishes and several aux layers of distortion and delay. Shouts out to Real Cosby and Shoeboxx Recordings.

"I Shouldn't Be Here"

Just finished this remix. Made it all dreamy. Here's the original.

Sister Nancy x Zebo

So raw.

Sioux Lion x Man Mantis

The hybrid insect creature turns out an indie trip hop anthem on this remix.

"Don't You Know" (Classy Dub Remix)

It snowed half-a-foot in Denver today, so I posted up and finished this Dawn Safari remix. He and the Dirty//Clean crew are killing it.

If You Love Me

Shout out to Babyshoe for putting me on to this gem. Knocks.

Guilty x Machinedrum

Tough and crunchy.

"Sorry Safari" Giraffage Remix

Giraffage has some stuff in the works with Alpha Pup. They blasted another tune of his earlier today. Here's a pleasant, floaty-piano remix he did of a Slow Magic tune.
