Charli XCX Recruits Perfume Genius for “Good Ones” Remix: Stream
“Good Ones” just got a spritz of perfume. Today, Charli XCX unveiled a new remix of her latest hit single courtesy of Perfume Genius. Stream the track below. Under the spell cast by the artist otherwise known as Michael Hadreas, the song is transformed from a high-energy bop into a ghostly goth banger, with Charli’s vocals slowed and pitched down over menacing production. “And baby you couldn’t have loved me any better/ But doin’ this is all that I’ve known ever,” the pop star sings on the pre-chorus, her voice virtually unrecognizable before Perfume Genius summons a demonic beat. “I want the bad ones, ’cause they’re all I know/ I always let the good ones go.” Advertisement Related Video The remix follows the release of Charli XCX’s all-star collaboration with Christine and the Queens and ...
St. Vincent Shares “Pay Your Way in Pain (IDLES Remix)”: Stream
St. Vincent is back with a fresh take on “Pay Your Way in Pain.” Today, Annie Clark has shared a remix of the Daddy’s Home single, created by UK post-punk band IDLES. St. Vincent released Daddy’s Home, her sixth album, in May, and shared “Pay Your Way in Pain” as its first single. With glitchy synths and the artist’s typical slinky rhythm, the song introduced the record’s retro aesthetic with a certain charismatic darkness. In a statement for the remix, IDLES guitarist Mark Bowen said this juxtaposition is what he latched onto. “What I really enjoy about the Daddy’s Home album is using this camp energy in a really violent way,” he said. “This embracing of the nostalgic even the kitsch but using it to make progressive futuristic music. It reminded me a lot of the energy of early house ...
Destructo’s Version of Dolly Parton’s “Jolene” Is The Country Queen’s New Favorite Remix: Listen
With his new remix of Dolly Parton‘s “Jolene,” Destructo is officially EDM’s latest superstar to pop on a pair of cowboy boots and try his hand at a lil’ country twang. Only in this case, the boots are probably pink, paired with rhinestones and a V-neck for good measure. Out via RCA and Sony Music, Destructo’s version is one of the only official “Jolene” remixes to ever grace the ears of the public and, according to Parton in a press release, it’s her favorite. “It makes me want to dance!” she said. Notably, this isn’t the Queen of Country’s first foray into electronic music. In 2019, her collaboration with Galantis and Mr. Probz, “Faith,” topped the charts with its of-the-moment tro...

BTS’ SUGA Remixes Coldplay Collaboration “My Universe”: Stream
Last month, Coldplay further cemented their status as one of the biggest bands active today when they collaborated with K-pop phenoms BTS on the track “My Universe.” And as if that weren’t enough, the two acts have today unveiled a remix of the song by none other than BTS’ SUGA. As expected of anything with BTS’ name attached, “My Universe” has already made history as the first No. 1 hit by two co-billed lead groups on the Billboard Hot 100. Now with rapper SUGA’s production, the kaleidoscopic tune boasts a new tropical house flair that calls to mind pool parties and beach flings — even as the temperatures outside cool down. “I’m thrilled to be able to work together with Coldplay, who I’ve admired since I was a kid, and honored to be a part of this remix,” SUGA said in a statement.

James Blake has recruited slowthai for a remix of “Funeral,” a track from Blake’s newly released fifth studio album, Friends That Break Your Heart. In this new version, Blake’s second verse is substituted with a restrained feature from the UK rapper. “I never been one for horror movies,” slowthai spits. “I fall asleep under your tongue, I hope you choose me/ The shadow silhouetting the sun, I’m glued to your feet/ I live in the shadows of, mmm, under the loose leaves.” Otherwise, the remix remains largely unchanged from the original. To accompany the reworked track, Blake shared a black-and-white music video capturing the somber tone of “Funeral.” Watch the full clip below ahead of the duo’s debut performance of the song on the episode of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon airing on Mo...
Twitter Debates Who Had Best Verse Between G Herbo & Lil Durk On Nardo Wick’s “Who Want Smoke” Remix
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Screencap / Youtube Nardo Wick already had one of the top heaters of 2021 with his sinister “Who Want Smoke?” single that landed the 20-year-old rapper on the map.

“Nirvana Reimagined As House & Techno” Album Highlights Kurt Cobain’s Support for LGBTQ+ Causes
Previously, imagining what Nirvana would sound like as a dance music act was only a pie-in-the-sky thought, but today producers Jonathan Hay, Cain McKnight, and 41X have made the concept a reality. Their collaborative album, Nirvana Reimagined As House & Techno is not only a musical tribute to Kurt Cobain’s musical legacy, but also a tribute to his social and cultural impact. The inspiration for this seemingly outlandish idea is rooted in the artists’ desire to highlight Cobain’s fervent advocacy for LGBTQ+ rights. Given the vital role the queer community played in facilitating the rise of dance music culture, the producers felt that reimagining the musical world of Nirvana in an electronic music context would be an engaging way to highlight this infrequentl...
That “Oh No” Song From TikTok Was Remixed Into an EDM Track—And It Actually Works
The brainlessness of TikTok and its poisonous culture can ironically be summed up by the name of one of its biggest musical trends: “Oh no.” You know the one. The trend where TikTok users chronicle situations that went horribly wrong—with the exception of the moment they downloaded the app—and soundtrack them with the shrill “oh no” chant. But when the prepubescent buffoons of TikTok aren’t snorting condoms and licking mid-pandemic airplane toilet seats (yes, those were two real “challenges”), they’re inadvertently unearthing some great music. Recommended Articles Joel Fletcher and HOOX have now capitalized on the trend by releasing an EDM version, harnessing the infamous sample taken from The Shangri-Las’ 1960s classic “Rem...
