Meshel Ndegeocello + Cat Power :: Don't You Want Me (Human League Cover)

Ran into some cool covers today wanted to pass along.

The first one is from Meshel Ndegeocello who is releasing a covers album called Synonym on October the 2nd. He covered The Human League's classic new wave track "Don't You Want Me" with Cat Power and turned it into a completely different chill and downtempo version of it.

Check out that beaut below...

Digging this slow grooving electronic track "Lying To You" sent our way by Swedish duo Swim. It is the second track they've released from their debut EP ‘Next To Me’, which is out this Friday, December 11th on HMWL. Check it...

Oh, Be Clever :: River

Really digging this soulful tune "River" sent our way by Salt Lake City duo Oh, Be Clever. The lead singer Brittney Shield's voice is so good. Keep pressing repeat. Check out the tune below which they are giving away as a free download in exchange for a follow. Sounds like a deal to me.

I Still Feel It :: Perfume

Got sent this beautiful track "Perfume" by Miami artist I Still Feel It. He based the tune on one of his favorite haiku's by Mastuo Bashu.

the butterfly
perfuming its wings
fans the orchid

Here's what he had to say about his inspiration. "I love the simplicity of it and how it invokes the symbiotic nature of life. The side chain effect in the song makes me visualize the motion of the butterflies wings fanning the orchid."

Check out the loveliness below, which he also happens to be giving away as a free download. Thank you sir, thank you very much!

Shakka :: When Will I See You Again (Amtrac Remix)

Amtrac who we've posted about many times before is back with another solid remix. His latest rework for Shakka's "When Will I See You Again" is exquisite and sublime. Real nice down-tempo re-interpretation that is just smooth as hell. Best part is he is offering the track as a free download in exchange for a Facebook like. What's not to like?

Lorde :: Team (Autograf Remix)

Wanted to leave you with a free remix for the weekend and I think I've found the perfect one. This remix by Chicago's Autograf for Lorde's track "Team" is so lovely. Super chill down-tempo re-work that melts in your ears. Best part it's a free download in exchange for a couple follows. Well worth the price of admission. Enjoy & have a great weekend!

Dirty South :: Walking Alone (Sounds of Ottinger Remix)

Got sent this sweet remix of Dirty South's track "Walking Alone" by 23 year old Stockholm, Sweden remixer Sounds of Ottinger. If only I was this talented at 23. Great down-tempo remix that I can hear over and over. Check out more from this up and comer on his soundcloud. Keep up the good work!

The Magician :: Sunlight (Darius Remix)

Talk about smooth... The Darius remix for The Magician's new single "Sunlight" is as smooth as they come. While most remixers have been keeping the bpm up on this one, he did the complete opposite and slowed it down to perfection. So good! That plus it perfectly matches the dreary Miami weather we are having today. Enjoy!

Sia :: Chandelier (Happy Accidents Remix)

Happy Accidents who we've posted about before here sent us their latest remix for Sia's "Chandelier" and they did a great job! Real dark and moody down-tempo re-interpretation. Best part is they are offering the track as a free download in exchange for a Facebook like. That sounds like a deal to us.

Flight Facilities :: Two Bodies ft Emma Louise

Had Flight Facilities never released an album? The answer appears to be no. I guess they had been getting by with releasing choice singles from time to time. Seems that approach can work.

Anyways the wait is over as Flight Facilities gets ready to release their debut album 'Down to Earth' on Oct 28th. The first taste of the new record is the excellent first single "Two Bodies" ft Emma Louise that was just released yesterday and is coincidentally also the second track on the album. Loving the melancholy, down-tempo electronic tune with lovely female vocals. Can't wait to check out the rest of the album. I'm sure it will not disappoint.

Until that time comes check out that fresh new single, which can be purchased on iTunes.



*** A day after I posted this I spotted the new Flight Facilities video for "Two Bodies", instead of doing a new post for this I'm just gonna go ahead and drop that video here. Enjoy!

BANKS :: Goddess

LA artist BANKS is releasing her debut album 'Goddess' today and I am digging her sound. She is being compared to artists like Grimes and Fiona Apple and I can see why. She's got a sensual vibe reminiscent of those artists. Check out her latest single/video for "Beggin for Thread" which is probably our favorite track that we've heard so far from her.

* If you live in the South Florida area she will be making a stop on her tour in a couple of weeks on Sunday, Sept 21st in Miami at Grand Central. Might wanna check that out.

Little Dragon :: Pretty Girls (Gold Fields Remix)

A friend of mine told me about this Gold Fields remix for Little Dragon's "Pretty Girls" a while ago, but I couldn't find the soundcloud for it. That is until today when I was searching for new music and bam there it was. Staring me in the face. Yay! Real smooth and downtempo remix that they are offering as a free download in exchange for your email. What's not to love? Best grab that sucker.

Digits :: Say Goodbye

Toronto based artist Digits that we've been covering for some time sent us his new video for his track "Say Goodbye". Really love this track and his hushed way of singing it! The video shows the troubles you face when loved ones become zombies, kinda like in Walking Dead. We know you watch that show. Check those out below...

Banks :: Waiting Game (David Dann Remode)

Got sent this very sublime down-tempo remix of Banks track "Waiting Game" by LA's David Dann. Not sure what the original sounds like, but this is real nice, and it's a free download. Check it...

Red Hot Chili Peppers :: Californication (Theater of Delays Remix)

One of our favorite remixers Theater of Delays is back with another solid remix. This time it's for Red Hot Chili Peppers classic track "Californication". Real smooth rework. I can picture myself playing this in an early DJ set or at a day time event. Check out the goods below and if you like what you hear he's offering the track as a free download. Gotta love that!

The XX :: Together (U&I vs. David Dann Remix)

Got sent this great remix by David Dann vs U&I for The XX track "Together" from the new Great Gatsby movie. Great chill remix for one of the all time best chill bands. I can hear this on repeat all day. Best part is you can download this beaut for free. Gotta love that. Check it out...

The National :: Trouble Will Find Me

Today one of my favorite bands The National release their new album Trouble Will Find Me. Been listening to it the last few days and I can safely say it is another master stroke from these amazing musicians. Gonna take a little time to see if it can topple 2010's stellar High Violet, which was my favorite album of that year, but if you are a fan of theirs you will not be disappointed. Ever since 2005's Alligator I have been a fan of this band and have been continually been impressed with each new release seemingly topping the last.

Check out their track "Don't Swallow the Cap" below, plus their video for first single "Demons" and second single "Sea of Love".

Alan Braxe :: Moments in Time (EP)

Scion is at it again! This time releasing a new EP Moments in Time by the amazing Alan Braxe. The EP features 4 new original tracks incl vocals on two of them by The Spimes, as well as remixes by heavyweights such as Gigamesh, Lifelike, Memory Tapes and more. Best part is they are offering entire collection for free in exchange for your email. Doesn't get any better than that!

Check out some of the originals via their soundcloud below and if you like what you hear you can download the entire package including the remixes via Scion's website here. Enjoy!

Monsieur Adi :: Born to Die (Remix)

One of our favorites at OTR that we've been covering for years Monsieur Adi just sent us his latest remix for Lana Del Rey's "Born to Die" and it is one smooth affair. Silky smooth downtempo remix that I can hear over and over. Best part is he is offering the track as a free download! Can't complain about that. Check it out below then get ready to press play many a times.

Spiritualized :: Sweet Heart Sweet Light

In keeping with the soulful theme of Soulsavers I wanted to post about another great album that came out recently Spiritualized latest 'Sweet Heart Sweet Light'. The amazing Jason Pierce has another winner on his hand. First single "Hey Jane" is pretty upbeat and dancey, prob the happiest I've heard him in a long time. For me Spiritualized is an acquired taste, I kinda have to be in the right mood to enjoy him and it seems like this one came out at the right time as I'm really digging it.

Check out a couple tracks from the record first single "Hey Jane" and "Little Girl" below, but it was hard to choose cause there's a bunch of great ones. "Too Late", "I Am What I Am" and "Mary" are also top notch. An album best heard in it's entirety really. If you like what you hear you can buy the whole thing on Amazon for $5. A bargain I say.
