Florian Paetzold – Spririt

Florian Paetzold is one of these talented DJs who can make up sounds and melodies as beautiful as poesy and stories. He already gave us great tracks like the amazing Warm Minds or a truly beautiful remix of Ready For Your Love. There is always a mix of romanticism and melancholia in his melodies. This one might sound really simple and repetitive but Spirit somehow managed to touch me. I liked the discreet vocals broken by a nice chill light poping sound. It’s smooth and laidback, a little bit sexy but never boring. This vintage 90’s piano totally has its place in this track. It adds a funky touch that we don’t dislike. Florian Paetzold plays the game of high and lows, making us waiting for this peak that never really explodes. Or at least not when you expected it and not how you expected it.
Nice and smooth, as we like it. And you can get it for free.

Rodriguez – Can’t Get Away (Kungs Remix)

Into the Deep loves Kungs‘ work from the beggining. If the French DJ has proven us he could release some really good (what is now called) tropical house tunes, he shows us this time that he can also explore new fields with different melodies and styles.

He decided to remix Can’t Get Away of Rodriguez, a song directly digged up from the 80’s. You can hear it. But that’s a true success because you wouldn’t think of remixing this song at first. Kungs pumped and kept all of the funky spirit present in this track to give him a new youth. The small flutes and violins are still here to give all of that special rythm. An energic and really chilling bass line is there to make it all sound perfectly in harmony. The chorus will stuck to your mind and make you shake your body like a weirdo while you’re working behind your computer (trust us). It’s so efficient. Punchy, fresh and funky, a perfect mix. The artist from Aix-en-Provence proves again that he can still bring the sun and a typical summer spirit in his tracks even if we’re there hardly dealing with a big cold.

Tove Lo – Talking Body (Gostan Remix)

We’ve been away for a month, sorry for that, but we’re back and now living in Berlin. Where we’re sure we’re going to find plenty of good tunes 🙂

This being said, we start this come back with a really nice sexy song! I mean we love the rythm, the music but the lyrics make it all quite hot! It’s a remix from the Swedish Tove Lo who hit the charts last summer with Habits. You can have a look of the original version of Talking Body, it is quite different. The rythm is really broken between the chorus and the parts. With a little binary rnb/pop rythm.
Gostan made it all sounds more pop fresh and with a little dreamy echo sound that reach a kind of peak on the chorus. It makes you fly away, want to dance and rule on the dancefloor while staring at the one to seduce her/him. It’s a really nice remix and I prefer it to the original, which means that Gostan did a great work! That’s great because we didn’t hear him a lot since Klanga. So if you read this: keep up the good work man!

James Newton Howard feat Jennifer Lawrence – Hanging Tree (Stanwell Remix)

Stanwell succeeded where many failed with Hanging Tree.
For those who don’t know the track. The song is featured in the last Hunger Games film. Jennifer Lawrence sings this song and it got a little bit viral on the internet with people even predicting a possible musical career for the actress (let’s not go so far). Many DJs remixed it but we never found anything really convincing (don’t beat us, we didn’t listen to every versions!).
And then suddenly an unknown French DJ comes out and drops this remix.
He kept the beautiful voice of the actress with the same (or almost) rythm. The song is just rejuvenated with some fresh pop beats that are so typical to this tropical house style Kygo made world famous. The peak, reached with the violins, is still there. “I wanted to make a version that keeps the original sadness and melancholy but gives a new hope” Stanwell wrote. Well, he did well and that exactly the result we we were looking for.

Ben Howard – Small Things (Yaaman Remix)

I didn’t know Yaaman before this remix. He is a Ukrainian DJ from Kiev. He made a really beautiful choice when deciding to remix Ben Howard’s Small Things. It is truly a lovely song.
Yaaman managed to add just enough of beats and electric drum sets to make it sound a little bit more punchy without loosing the true spirit of the song and its melancholic soul. The rythm is perfect. Not too fast, not too slow, we could almost say that Yaaman did a real precision work there! We also especially love that xylophon-ish sound. We don’t really know how you can describe it but it really fits the atmosphere of the track. And that delayed guitar is just so catchy. Can’t get out of my head. Love it.

GAMPER & DADONI feat. Paul Cook & The Chronicles – Blind Faith

Gamper & Dadoni are back! We might not follow them with a blind faith (title of the new track, got it?) but it’s almost like this with them. Although they didn’t win our heart with their last work on MJB or the Red Hot, we will never deny them. We’ve been too much in love with songs like Bulletproof or The La La La Remix to forget them and that’s why we kept an eye on them.
And we did well! The German duo seems to kick off 2015 with a great start! This collaboration with Paul Cook & The Chronicles is a little jewel! It’s fresh and really promising. The vocals are really nice, they sure made a good choice there. The guitar melody just goes all along with the classic G&D piano. A melancholic touch that totally has its place there and dynamised by a classic low beats.

The trap might be there, too classic? Gamper & Dadoni use the recipies that helped them to make great tunes to create new ones. It’s nice because it still work but maybe we would like to see something really new from them.

Dotan – Waves (Alex Schulz Remix)

Alex Schulz is a remarkable artist. We love his perticular chill house style that he always taint with a touch of romanticism. Listenning to this quiet guitar in the background or this great violins, you always follow him, his melodies. Could Be and The Girl From Paris were some of these kind of songs we noticed and put on repeat several times.

But despite ebing followed by thousands of fans, the German DJ doesn’t seem to have made it to the top yet. At least, we think Alex Schulz didn’t get the acknowledgement he should deserve for his great work. May 2015 be his year. Alex keeps on working hard, proof is this last gem he just dropped for the beggining of the year. Another charming tune, worked and perfected in each details. Also, it’s free so why would you deprive yourself of such a nice sound?

Just Kiddin – Thinking About It (NEVA & David Pietras Remix)

Let’s keep on our Sunday Evening Blues playlist. This one is a freshy one. It’s light and melancholic as a happy full of pop Coldplay song. But it’s cooler.
The work of two people the Swedish David Pietras and the German NEVA. Don’t ask me who did what. We love that powerful piano rythmic. It’s punchy and explodes in the air in a thousands of colourful butterflies. The beats raise you up, you fly but still you’re a bit sad because the song wants you to remember your good old times. In the same time, you think “Fuck off” because you just want to go ahead and play with the butterflies. Yep, we’re two in our brain.

Mad Kingz feat. Mark Tarmonea – Wanderlust

Mark Tarmonea really broke into the music stage with When Doves Cry. Here Mad Kings just had the good idea to associate themselves with him for their last tune Wanderlust. To be honest Mark is doing most of the job with the vocals. Mad Kingz is just behind with some beats and an acoustic guitar for the melancholic side of the song.

It might not be a huge tune but it still does the work. It’s sad but lovely and can totally fit a Sunday evening blues. Also keep in mind that this is only a preview of the original mix. So there might be a better part to come!

Hayden James – Something About You

I was really expecting a remix of Daft Punk but I found something so much different and more refreshing! Hayden James really knows how to play with these cool deep beats. It’s low but gives so much rythm and a housy touch that we truly love!
Vocals are nice and fits the housy style. It’s a perfect mariage of beats and melody.
