I am continually enamored with the golden synthetic melodies that David Douglas makes. Royal Horticultural Society still ranks as one of my favorites of the year, and this new remix of Holland’s Mensenkinderen furthers my love:

James & Evander + Friends – Bummer Pop Remixes
In May Oakland’s James & Evander released Bummer Pop, a collection of summery electronic synth pop. In August they dropped a remix EP featuring some real stand out re-works from folks like Parentz, Heart Island, RX Gibbs, and Courtship. Download the EP for whatever you want at the James & Evander Bandcamp. Meanwhile….

Arc in Round – “Said Astray (Void Edit by Benoît Pioulard)”
Philadelphia’s Arc in Round and their song “Said Astray” (off of the mighty fine S/T LP out on La Société Expéditionnaire) was all ready dreampop soaked in reverb psychedlics before Michigan’s Benoît Pioulard got a hold of it. His reworked version multiplies the trip 10 times over.
Ed Schrader’s Music Beat – Traveling (Javelin Remix)
It seems like a rare occurrence when a remix comes by that I really enjoy enough to devote a single post to. Javelin, a favorite of mine, have remixed Ed Schrader’s Music Beat’s “Traveling”, perhaps my favorite track from what is quickly becoming one of my favorite albums of the year Jazz Mind (purchase/stream it on bandcamp). Take a listen below.
The xx – Shelter (Beat Culture Remix)
Yes this song has already been through the remix ringer (so to speak) and normally I kind of just glaze over emails that include “The xx remix” or “Radiohead remix”, etc., but if it includes Beat Culture – I’m listening. Glad I did because Sunik Kim kills it again in his own rain soaked beats kind of way. Take a listen:
And if you do not already have Beat Culture’s phenomenal Tokyo Dreamer – go grab it.

Grimes – Genesis (Ryan Hemsworth Remix)
Grimes‘ sweet “Genesis” gets some hip hop smacked all over it by Halifax producer Ryan Hemsworth. So great.

Twin Sister & Snowmine Remix Each Other
Philly’s Weathervane Music recently released the free Shaking Through Soundtrack series which has selected tracks from artists who participated in the annual documentary series. Two of these artists, Snowmine and Twin Sister, decided to go a little further by releasing a double remix single with WV. Take a listen to the two songs here, but be sure to head over to the Weathervane Music Bandcamp and check the mass amount of awesome music they have there.
