Another big week for remixes. The White Panda owned this week with 5 releases and ended the week strong with a mash-up of Imogen Heap’s immortal vocals from “Hide and Seek” and an upbeat production from Audien. The Melker Project shows another reason why he is more than a mash-up maestro with an elegant, piano-filled […]
11. Jack Penate – Pull My Heart Away Penate’s crooning seriously sounds like his heart it being physically ripped out on this track. This pained approach is even more appropriate given the nostalgic guitar riffs and heartbeat-like drums. I don’t know what the guitar technique is thats used on this song, but it would sound […]
