Fresh Drops Vol. 4 - Kris Jones Extended 2 Hour Mix

This month for Fresh Drops we ended up not having in a guest, but Kris dropped an extended 2 hour mix.  The vibes on this range from Nu Disco to Deep and Future House and some Garage influence for good measure.  A few of these are out as free downloads, a couple are forthcoming on some great labels, as well as some already released heat.  Make sure to check the tracklisting below. This is a summer vibe mix throughout, we hope you enjoy. 

And in case you haven't seen this feature before, we have a monthly show that we stream live on Underground Sound Canada's Mixlr channel.  We are just one week, but there are new mixes every Sunday night.

Vhyce - Be The Same (Fake Blood Remix) [Food Music]

Food Music will be releasing the remix package of Kry Wolf's DNA compilation on June 8th. You may remember us posting about the DNA compilation back in January when the original compilation was released - it was one of the first posts we did on the blog. One of my favourite tracks from the compilations was Vhyce's Be The Same with it's evolution of the track over the whole course of its playtime. The remix version of DNA sees this track remixed by dance music heavyweight Fake Blood.

Currently all we have to work with is the teaser preview, but from that we can already see that the Fake Blood remix definitely holds some of the original elements of Be The Same while putting a new spin on the track. The light synth buildups into the drops are still there, with a chopped and spliced version of the main vocal laid on top.  It all drops into a much heavier bassline than the original, which is an interesting change, but much in the style of some of Fake Blood's recent work (The Hornet EP came out on Food Music in mid-May).

The entire DNA remix EP looks very interesting, with both big names and newer but proven heavy hitters from dance music stepping up to put their touches on the originals from the compilation release.  With names like Shadow Child, S.P.Y., Fake Blood, Applebottom, and Dansim bringing their vibes to this remix EP, rest assured that these remixes will not disappoint. Make sure to grab your copy when it drops on June 8th.

Kry Wolf - DNA [YUMDNA01] (Compilation)

This is a compilation that I've been waiting on release since I heard the first few tracks Food Music teased on their SoundCloud account. I've been a big fan of both Kry Wolf and Food Music for a while, and this compilation simply solidifies that fanboyism in me.

From Food Music, "DNA is a new series of various artist albums on Food Music, each presented by some of the worlds most exciting DJ and production talent."  If the initial release is any indication, we're in for some big compilations coming from this series in the future.

The tracks I'm most excited about from this release would have to be:

Vhyce - Be The Same (This track honestly makes the whole EP for me, see my earlier post on this track for more Vhyce)

Kry Wolf - U Like (Waifs and Strays Rework) - That piano and low bassline just does it.

Aaron Snapes - Open - Heavy driving house drums, and that melodic breakdown!

Nuage - Soulfiction - Drums with a bit of swing, paired with the vocal - magic.

Stream the compilation previews below, and pick up your copy today!
