Why hello!

Looks like we have a new section on the blog today...

Remix Wednesdays Reid Wild World

Only At ReidsWildWorld.com

While technically similar to Straight Jam Thursdays, this feature will be strictly remixes only. So, if you have a remix, please send it over! Click here to get in touch.

So, let's start things off with a bang! We have 3 HUGE producers all taking their turn at the single from Donald Glover, A.K.A. Childish Gambino. The Faust version already has 10,000 plays (and is a FREE download) and numerous other blogs have posted a few, so I decided to post 3.

While the original is a sweet slice of indie-hip-hop, the remixes all take on their own mannerisms and nuances. The Justin Faust version is probably my favorite, being the most dance-floor ready track, and includes more vocals from the original track. With a robust bass line and swirling strings, this track will send people to the floor. The Treasure Fingers version comes in with a slow build, then brings in some classic TF funk and soul, with a little space-disco involved for good measure, and a fantastic drop that leads into the end of the track. The Oliver rendition has some very familiar elements from their previous tracks, and you'll be impressed with the direction they took this song.

Anyway, on to the remixes!
