Listen to Magic Pills’ Deep House Remix of U2’s “Ordinary Love”
Multi-instrumentalist and electronic producer Magic Pills has released a deep house spin on U2’s 2013 track, “Ordinary Love.” Almost 10 years have passed since the original’s release as part of the iconic soundtrack of Nelson Mandela’s biographical drama, Mandela: Long Walk To Freedom, so Magic Pills reimagined it with dance elements to honor the anniversary. He takes the rock song to new heights, replacing the original guitar melody with a more brisk, driving rhythm and funky riffs. The upbeat, deep house result reflects the song’s emotive message. “In the case of U2, it was very important to save the energy that Bono invested in lyrics, but at the same time I wanted to make it deeper,” Magic Pills said in a statement. “Listening to the chorus, where Bo...
Listen to Rich Fayden’s Ominous Rework of Bobby Brown’s “Don’t Be Cruel”
Rich Fayden has been known as a singer-songwriter who can bridge together modern sounds with retro influences, creating songs that resonate with generations of music fans. And his production style is no different. Fayden recognizes that the biggest producers in the world have found success by reimagining classics, so he dug through the crates and selected an old-school groove to work his magic. Back in 1988, pioneering new jack swing artist Bobby Brown released “Don’t Be Cruel,” which charted as a pop crossover on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart that same year. Fayden has now reworked the R&B classic, producing dark, ominous soundscapes that reimagine it for today’s dancefloors. “Sticking to what works while not getting in the way of the outcome is often t...

The National Remix NEU!’s “Im Glück” for NEU! 50! Box Set: Stream
This September, Krautrock pioneers NEU! are celebrating the 50th anniversary of their self-titled debut album with the NEU! 50! box set, which includes a tribute album comprising covers and remixes by an impressive list of artist. One of those names is The National, who have today shared their remix of NEU!’s “Im Glück.” The original version of “Im Glück” appeared on NEU! in 1972, and it’s a nearly-seven-minute drone track that doesn’t share much in common with The National’s typical indie rock. It’s pretty structureless with no rhythm section, almost acting like an intermission on the album. With The National’s touch, however, it becomes a bit of a dance number; the band add a shuffling house beat and layer it with more instrumentals, turning it into a much more active, melodic ...

This EDM Remix of the Viral “Corn Kid” Song Is A-Maize-Ing
There’s nothing corny about Tariq, the kid who has captured the hearts of millions after going viral for his love of corn. While EDM Twitter once again descended into a digital hellscape over the weekend, something much more wholesome was happening over on TikTok. It was the “Corn Kid” video, wherein Tariq can’t help but hide his excitement for the “big lump with knobs.” “Ever since I was told corn is real, it tasted good,” Tariq says in the viral video, which has been viewed over 53 million times on TikTok at the time of writing. “When I tried it with butter, everything changed.” DJ and dance music producer Kaivon decided to remix the music from the video and turn it into an electronic track that could cause utter corn-age a...

Britney Spears and Sir Elton John’s highly anticipated collaborative single “Hold Me Closer” has arrived. Stream it below via Apple Music and Spotify.

Madonna Passes the Baton to Beyoncé in “Break My Soul (The Queens Remix)”: Stream
The OG Queen of Pop has officially given her blessing to Queen Bey. Madonna and Beyoncé have teamed up for the aptly titled, “Break My Soul (The Queens Remix).” As the first single from Renaissance, “Break My Soul” introduced us to Beyoncé’s new disco-influenced, club-ready era. It makes total sense, then, that the “Queens Remix” would center on a sample of “Vogue,” Madonna’s 1990 classic that helped introduce Ballroom culture to a greater audience. It doesn’t appear that Madonna offered any new vocals to “Break My Soul (The Queens Remix),” but rather gave Beyoncé permission to use “Vogue”‘s famous piano riff (which is important, given recent discourse surrounding Beyoncé’s failure to secure permission before sampling songs). Of course, Beyoncé wouldn’t just sample “Vogue” withou...
