Free Download: Lana Del Rey VS. FKA twigs - Two Weeks of Money Power Glory

Earlier this month we were raving about Old Money Pendulum and here's another FKA Lana Del twigs to get excited about! Two Weeks of Money Power Glory takes the very essence of each track and combines them. FKA's stellar vocal production is so distinct, to hear it over a Del Rey patented beat is just magic. Lana's organic darkness is of course perfect as the backdrop to the stuttering high goodness of the $hit twigs is dealing. Both original tracks speaks directly to (putting it mildly) a love interest about wanting something really badly and getting high from it. Higher than a motherfucker from dope and diamonds... Another stellar job Stuart Mauck!   

Free Download: Lana Del Rey VS. FKA twigs - Old Money Pendulum

Wow, we love this! Lana Del Rey's lush string and piano ballad Old Money meets FKA twigs' Pendulum and things really gets swingin'! Both songs are in their original forms extremely representative of both artists so how crazy to hear them like this. Old's air of an old world filled with luxurious things meets the bare bones of the twigs production and opens up a whole forest of things. Plus it's amazing to realize how much warmth FKA's voice adds to her sparse beats when she's missing altogether like this. Lana sounds like a ghost from a bygone era that's gone missing at a London electro club and at the 03:47 mark our heart just explodes. So good! Top marks for thinking of and creating this Stuart Mauck!  Thoughts? 

Free Download: Eurythmics - Love Is a Stranger (Crome Remix)

The 1982 Eurythmics single Love Is a Stranger is, to us, is a true display in excellence. The lyrics read like poetry, the music is restrained yet airy and melodic, the production (at the time) is new meets classical. The video is equally superb with its claustrophobic feel and amazing play with different characters. Annie Lennox vocals are simply perfection and her storytelling is out of this world (as always). Shockingly it didn't fare so well on the charts - reaching #54 in their native UK. However, a re-release hit #6 after their next single Sweet Dream (Are Made of This) became a world smash in 1983. German DJ Crome builds on the original production and we're wild for the extended intro (so classic 12"!) and powerful groove with that deeper bassline! Damn hot! Go grab it below and shake your money maker all night. Enjoy! PS. A lil' side note is that the song recording was a self-financed affair at Annie and Dave's 8-track studio in Chalk Farm, London. Too cool!   

Free Download: Lana Del Rey - Old Money (Kevin Heder Remix)

Lana Del Rey's Ultraviolence album has sold over a million copies since its release six months ago and it's a truly stunning album. We absolutely love it with its amazing storytelling, darkness and cinematic qualities. One of the highlights is the story of Old Money paired with gorgeous strings and dreamy voice. German based DJ Kevin Heder builds on the bare bones of the original production and adds some spookiness and a gentle club sound. Really cool to hear this treatment and we just wanna throw a big party in an abandoned mansion and play this really loud to all the guests. We're sure even the ghosts would start dancin' to this one! Listen + download below. Enjoy!     

Free Download: Sade - I Never Thought I'd See the Day (LNTG Rework)

We're delighted that Sade's mellow masterpiece I Never Thought I'd See the Day from 1988's Stronger Than Pride album is receiving so much love. Remember this absolute gem of a bootleg from earlier this year? Aussie DJ Late Nite Tuff Guy infuses the sadness with a heavy dose of luxurious lounge qualities. This is the kind of heartbreak we don't mind! The added groove is soothing and really warms up the sharp saxophone and puts an arm around the lonesome voice of Sade Adu. Top marks truly.
