Chiddy bang coming through with another smash hit. Off the duo’s debut album, Breakfast is the soulful homage to the great Ray Charles. Chiddy was quoted saying, “The song actually started out as a joke when my brother, Cheeseburger Don, got so high he fell asleep in the studio with his sunglasses on,” says Chiddy. “I looked over and he reminded me of Ray Charles, probably because I was high, too. I started freestyling about him and we laid it down right there.”

Buy this track on iTunes.

As a bonus I am going to give you the moombahton remix of the same song. It is really laid back and has crowd pleaser written all over it. It is a little faster paced, but with a chill moombahton melody. Put this one on your summer playlist for sure.

Donald Glover aka Childish Gambino is an amazing lyricist. Not only that, but he tends to DJ his own tracks. Needless to say he is a multifaceted individual. Also, he has been featured here on Crossfaded plenty of times, most recently on our Welcome Back post. Off his newest mixtape “Camp” he drops Heartbeat and this song has such a soft intro that drops into heavy electro segments that make this song a juggernaut. He incorporates fast paced rapping over a sick melody. It is amazing how he can convey such great arrogance over his tracks. I find it to be such an interesting take on the rap genre. Also, the video is sick as hell and is worth a view.

Next up is the Proper Villains remix of Heartbeat brings forth a gnarly dubstep remix and it hits hard. It is a good mix of hard melodic dubstep and constant wobbles. This song can be enjoyed both driving around and at a dance party. With that sort of versatility it is obvious that Proper Villains has been refining his view on how dubstep should be produced. It is working because this song bangs. Proper Villains has amazing star quality so be sure to check out his Facebook and Soundcloud. Now listen.

Last but certainly not least is the remix done by The Golden Pony. A relatively unknown artist who has some amazing potential. With his version of Heartbeat he gives the song a complete makeover and makes it into a great dance/pop song that will make any crowd go wild. It is fast paced happy-go-lucky take on this song. It has very fun synths and nice transitions that will keep you guessing. The Golden Pony delivers big time with this remix, so, give him some love on his Facebook and Soundcloud.

Dice was an awesome song that I first discovered years ago (don’t laugh) while watching The O.C. The original is by Finley Quaye and William Orbit. This new version with Serge Devant ft. Hadley is awesome and really brings a cool new twist to the original song. Definitely more of a girly song…but enjoy it 🙂

Okay, so, there have been a ton of remixes of the song Wildfire, most of them come up short. However, I sifted through a lot of shitto find this little gem. It is the Colorado remix artist Paper Diamond. He remakes Wildfire with a dubstep song filled with electronics everywhere. It just gives it a perfect balance but, mixed in with the vocals of Little Dragon, this song slays. Turn it up loud for complete eargasm.
