Free Download: Mariah Carey's Classic 90's House Mixtape by DJ Josh Peace

Mariah Carey is such a great singer, and during the 90's she was famous for re-recording her vocals for all the house remixes of her hits. Not to mention being so involved in the process, not just outsourcing via her label to get club plays. Her classic work with club legends Clivillés & Cole, David Morales and Junior Vasquez still fill many a dance floor around the world - just last month we danced to the David Morales Def Club Mix of Dreamlover in Stockholm! Badass L.A DJ Josh Peace mixed together her most classic 12" vinyls in 1999 and how awesome to have it online now too! Love the occasional vinyl crackles since they are authentic and cozy somehow. Grab your copy below and for the full tracklist head here. Enjoy!

Loreen is set to re-release her debut album Heal next week with some new tracks on it. Lead off We Got The Power got a huge premiere in front of 100 million viewers at last week's Eurovision in Malmö, Sweden. Sweet! The self directed video premiered this week too and features some strong visuals to go with the empowering theme of the song. Loreen is very hands on and a truly refreshing persona in the world of Eurovision. Commercial but with a very zesty twist! Brazilian DJ Alex Monteli puts a dance beat on this banger and makes it even more fit for the clubs. Nice! Enjoy belooow!

Mashup: I Feel Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger Love

We're suckers for a good old mashup combining two or more worlds. Since Daft Punk and Giorgio Moroder collaborated on Random Access Memories what better than mixing the former's 2001 single Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger with the eternal Donna Summer 1977 masterpiece I Feel Love? Even throw in some of the trailblazing 1981 Patrick Cowley remix! Perfection even! That distinct Moroder beat never ever feels out of date and the blaring robotic voice adds a whole new futuristic feel to it, with Cowley's old school futurism working its way in midway. Enjoooy! Thanks DJ Alain Vinet!

Premiere: Little Jinder - Won't Look Back

 Little Jinder can make fans of Grimes and Little Boots very happy as she is mad talented with a DIY spirit + combines bass driven beats with airy vocals. Her new single Won't Look Back is just that and tells the story of heartbreak and how to overcome it. This Stockholm born artist started in a very classic way by making beats in her bedroom. She then studied sound technology at the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts and is now signed to Ministry Of Sound. Cool! Also, if you wonder who Big Jinder is, that would be her mama. In Sweden Åsa Jinder is a well known and award winning folk musician. Would be cool to hear a collaboration! Thoughts?

Premiere: Ane Brun - Feeling Good (Nina Simone Cover)

Norway's finest Ane Brun is about to release her retrospective collection Songs 2003-2013 next week and on it comes this brand new recording! The classic Feeling Good, most notably attached to Nina Simone is a wonderful piece and Ane treats it with the gentlest of care. Gone is the big dramatic background and it welcomes a wonderful violin that we're getting Scandinavian folk music vibes from. Ane suffers from the auto immune disorder lupus and we came to think of that aspect hearing her version. Her voice exudes an urgency and depth that comes from life experience. She tells her story and we can't stop listening to it. Nor do we wan't to stop. Top marks and love to you Ane!
