Madonna - Borderline (Stripped Down Acoustic Mix)

Now, normally we're all for a deep bass situation. That doesn't mean we can't make exceptions, haha. One of Madonna's earliest signature songs is of course Borderline. Written and produced by Reggie Lucas in 1982 for her debut album M was unhappy with the result. She thought it had too many instruments on it and had her then boyfriend Jellybean remix it. How perfect then we came across this baby since July '13 marks 30 years since it was released. This stripped down take uses the original stems and really showcases how amazing this song really is. Yes, the production, artwork, iconic video adds to it, but the core structure is fantastic; the chords, lead vocals and backing harmonies. So simple and effective. Love to hear it like this! Thoughts?

Free Download: Erykah Badu - On & On (Booty Fade Remix)

Erykah Badu's 1997 debut single On & On is part of our life soundtrack since the first listen 16 years ago and for good reason. That incredible voice, how she phrases, the lyrics and beat, (that bass!) plus the nu jazz feel of it all. Glorious! Well in fact her whole Baduizm album was and still is one great high musically and spiritually speaking! Fellow Dallas residents Booty Fade are hopefully working with Erykah on a new album and decided to do a 180 remix and we love it! The updated vibe is so chill and the synths shimmers in a dusky night sky. The amazing vocals are kept intact with some added chops and echoes here and there. The end result is perfect and god dammit imma sing my song. I think I need a cup of tea. Cannot wait to hear any new songs from a Booty Badu session!

Free Download: MS MR - Hurricane (Oyster Records Remix)

MS MR already know a thing or three about creating brooding songs and finding visuals to match. However, their already perfect debut Hurricane finds a whole new shade of darkness here to utilize. French label Oyster Records has created a stunning bootleg that transforms the slight organic feel of the original into a steely electronic night of pulsating synths, thundering bass and a drum machine sent straight from hell as it's so sweet! The video edit rivals that of the original clip as it's a tumblr extravaganza filled with perfect imagery for the badass beat. Enjoy! For the .mp3, go grab it here!

Free Download: M.I.A. - Bring The Noize (Wuki Bootleg)

M.I.A.'s anti-capitalist anthem Bring The Noize gets treated to the highest honour for the message it's bringing. That would be a free download of an awesome trap bootleg of course! Denver based Kris Barman a.k.a Wuki tweaks the beat and adds layers that are too good for it to be a bootleg! This should be standing side by side with the main version for sure judging by the chorus alone! We can't think of a better soundtrack for a Sunday and we're gonna play it l.o.u.d! Dem-dem-dem-free-freekdem!

Free Download: Madonna - Vogue (Boyfriends Twerk Team Remix)

Walk for me and serve face, face, body-ody-ody! One thing's for certain, when the Boyfriends Twerk Team Remix of Vogue reaches Madonna she'll pick that baby up and use on her next tour. YEAH, lady better twerk and twerk that ish good! When the piano kicks in over that ratchet beat ya'll know you better work the goods! Can we also acknowledge the fact that our buddy Robert Jeffrey is the grainy face for this sickenin' mix and so should get to twerk with MDNA herself at some point soon!
