You & I (Gigamesh Remix) – Crystal Fighters

Gah. This track came SO freakin’ close to blowing me away. Like really, becoming an instant-favorite. But it just didn’t quite make it. The original You & I from the Crystal Fighters is seriously amazing – lightweight, beautiful, catchy, fun…I could go on and on. It was a bold move for Gigamesh to take the track for a spin, and really, he almost landed it.

That’s not to say this remix is bad – not by any stretch – but it just didn’t have that ‘moment’ that marked it as a successful take on an already-wonderful song. At 2:00 I thought it was coming, I really did, but then at 2:15 the track just lost the build and never really got it back.

But hey, that’s just me.

Dreams (Gigamesh Edit) – Fleetwood Mac

Here’s a downtempo, disco-style edit from Gigamesh of Fleetwood Mac’s 1977 hit, Dreams. I appreciate that Gigamesh didn’t go overboard on the original, instead keeping his production simple and easy on the ears, retaining the feel of the original as much as possible. Take a listen and download this track on Facebook.

    I think you may have meant their 1977 hit. A typo, I’m sure.

      Whoops! Fixed.

Tongue Tied (Gigamesh Remix) – Grouplove

This song feels like summer in a nutshell. Gigamesh reworks the original Grouplove track Tongue Tied to create a joyous explosion of indie-pop goodness. Grouplove has been on my radar ever since they were remixed in a Skizzy Mars track, and I think this song might just push me to a newfound obsession. This song makes me crave summer unlike any other, and now I just want to drive around with this song on full blast. Kollect on!

    We’re working it out as we speak. Should be good to go soon!

Tongue Tied (Gigamesh Remix) – Grouplove

I’m feeling a little funky right now so this disco house tune by Gigamesh has me going! It’s always been funny to me how famous songs get after being on Apple commercials, I’m sure Grouplove doesn’t mind. The song is just so catchy! Jeez. I can’t get it out of my head, and now with the disco beat going on I don’t think I’ll be able to let this one go for a while…

Figure 8 (Gigamesh Remix) – Outasight

Minneapolis producer Gigamesh has enjoyed a few #1 HypeM remixes and I expect this to be another successful remix of his. I posted Outasight’s “Figure 8” recently – a great track about feeling stuck in a continuous, repetitive life cycle. Although I can’t say this remix outdoes the original’s diverse instrumentals, Gigamesh makes a playful, summer-ready jam with this one. Enjoy, and Kollect below!
