And for a super happy Friday, we would like to showcase the new video from Goldroom, and his single “Only You Can Show Me” featuring the lovely Mereki. Besides being an super disco summer time jam, the video is pretty damn cool. It’s well shot, and fits the music perfectly. Solid grooves with solid tunes…hard to go wrong!

Remix Wednesday: Phoenix – Trying To Be Cool (The Chainsmokers remix) + Keljet feat. X Ambassadors – Love Of A Life (Ride The Universe remix) + YACHT – Second Summer (RAC mix)

by Reid Horton on May 8, 2013

Welcome back friends! Time for remixes!

It’s REMIX WEDNESDAY!

Remix Wednesdays on ReidsWildWorld.com

First up, we have the smooth touch of The Chainsmokers as they spice up “Trying To Be Cool” by Phoenix! Bouncing, driving, and a sense of meloncholia add the subtext to this track, carried by the excellent vocals from Phoenix. A rocking bass compliments the heavy synth work, laying a groove for the hints of french-touch that pop in and out of this track. With a slight detour into a disco-filled wonderland, this is a perfect track for a late night drive after a long night out. Smooth tune!

Next, we have Dutch duo Keljet featuring X Ambassadors, and the groovetastic Ride the Universe remix of “Love of a Life“! Whenever you let disco-funk purveyors like RTU get ahold of a vocal like this, dance floors better watch out. Heavy funk bass grooves slide alongside the house-tinged vocals, meeting in the middle with a dose of Zapp-esque vocoders to create a head-nodder perfect for poolside scenes. Driving without being overbearing, and enough spice to last throughout, this is another fine example of Ride the Universe being themselves: AWESOME.

Keljet feat. X Ambassadors – Love Of A Life (Ride The Universe remix)

And to close out the day, we have a bouncy remix from RAC, with a take of YACHT‘s “Second Summer“! A deep and bouncing key line rides throughout this track, allowing the vocals to stay above it all, creating a fantastic range of harmony. Subtle hints of trance and progressive house lie deep within, but this track is pure indie-dance goodness. If you think you’ve heard all RAC mixes, check this one out. Smooth grooves and sunny afternoons.

YACHT – Second Summer (RAC mix)

Until next time,
Reid.

Straight Jam Thursday: Classixx – All You’re Waiting For + Work Drugs – West Coast Slide + Karma Kid – In My Arms

by Reid Horton on May 2, 2013

Let’s go ahead and sink our collective teeth into a gigantic groove sandwich…

It’s STRAIGHT JAM THURSDAY!

Straight Jam Thursdays on ReidsWildWorld.com

This week, new tunes from Classixx, Work Drugs, and Karma Kid!

First up, is a song/album/groovement I have been waiting on for a long time, and that is the debut album from L.A. natives, Classixx, and their new track, “All You’re Waiting For“! Basically, any song with Nancy Whang on vocals is going to be good, but Classixx take an funky beat and drive this tune out of the park. Bouncing on the bass lines from another dimension, you are constantly being bombarded with timely synths, excellent production, and a a chorus that will be stuck in your head for hours: ALL GOOD THINGS. If you had any doubts about their debut full length, this will erase them all. JAM!

Classixx – All You’re Waiting For

Next up, a super smooth new jam from everyone’s favorite yacht rock group, Work Drugs, and their track, “West Coast Slide“! With their trademark guitar sounds leading the way, this tune exemplifies the Work Drugs spirit. Somewhere between dance-pop and straight up 90′s indie rock, WD always seem to find a way of crafting an incredibly catchy chorus around perfectly picked guitar lines and falsetto-range vocals that bring you back to the summers of your youth. They always seem to strike a chord of teenage love and rebellion, without the rage and distortion of other acts of my childhood, and I love it. Nostalgic, rocking, and a heavy dose of groove, this is a tune built for summer afternoons and road trips.

Work Drugs – West Coast Slide

And to close out the day, we have a free download from across the Pond, in the form of Karma Kid‘s “In My Arms“! Deep, driving, with a soft hint of french touch, this track sets its hooks in you early, dragging you across the Lake of House and Disco with controlled precision. Hints of deep house and french house combine to form a melange of sounds that provide ample opportunity to “shake it on out” on the floor. Dance-able without being cheesy, and emotional without being whining, we have a tune that is destined for dance floors. See you on the floor!

Karma Kid – In My Arms

Until next time,
Reid.
