Night Light

It is well known that I am very into remixes of older tracks, especially "Rock the Casbah." Flight Facilities has featured one in their decade mixes and now LUXXURY has put out this edit which I honestly cannot not dance to it's just so funky. I love the feel and groove of it along with the fact that I can see it's respect for the original track. Take a listen.

It's finally here! Cults has just released their sophomore album Static and I couldn't be more excited. You can read a whole review of the album from Pitchfork here. Additionally, I figured I might be able to find some lovely remix out in the world and lo and behold - this remix of "Bad Things" featuring Freddie Gibbs provides a different feel that still stays true to the oddball falsetto and beats that is Cults. Take a listen and make sure you get ahold of their new stuff ASAP.

We were supremely disappointed to hear that ACL's final day of shows has been cancelled due to inclement weather. Hopefully, everyone out there is staying safe, but we know it's a bit rough to get denied your love of some of these groups. So, I've lined up a couple of tracks to soothe your sadness. First up, Toro Y Moi's remix of Billie Holiday's "My Man" (which is part of a larger compilation released under Verve Music Group that tributes the First Ladies of music).

Additionally, there's a tranced-up remix of Tame Impala's "Mind Mischief" from The Field and a Breakbot remix of "Trying to Be Cool" from Phoenix's Bankrupt! for your listening pleasure. 

Listen here and here. Happy Sunday, discophiles!

Guys I've got too many feelings tonight. Nothing is getting done. Except cleaning and thinking not about my homework. Hormones are the worst.

But anyways, here's a great hit by one of our favs Moon Boots.

You want some beach tunes before it gets grey? You want some Flight Facilities? You want some Jagwar Ma? You want to sit on the couch and have a drink out of a coconut? Yeah you do. Hit up this FlightFac remix of Jagwar Ma's freaking amazing "Come Save Me."

See you tonight! We will be on at 9 pm MST.

I am really careful with any mashups so it is not offensive to either original and this track I can exclaim is absolutely wonderful.

Disclosure's gritty beat for A Fire Starts to Burn is perfect with Bell Biv Devoe's kind of lyric rap thing they got going on with Poison. 

Really great mix. Check it out!

Everything about this track is right. Funky Fresh. Cowbell Feels like Breakbot, Daft Punk, and a 70s 80s mesh.

This cover is getting me really excited for our throw back episode... coming soon.........

The Hood Internet strikes again with a mashup that you never needed until you already had it. This time it's Hall and Oates with Daft Punk - deemed "Private Eyes," it has the right stuff to be featured on our Old School show coming soon!

Sorry for missing our show this week - the studio was closed because of the flooding in Colorado. We send all our thoughts and good vibes to everyone affected by this insane weather and hope that it passes soon.

Australian cutie Flume was absolutely incredible tonight. Alki and I got to see him in Boulder and it was definitely awesome. He knows how to put on a show - and how to remix incredibly well - including his own tracks. However, one of the highlights was when he played Disclosure, so if you haven't heard his 'You & Me' remix, it's never too late to check it out!

School's in full swing and September means that autumn is on it's way for NoCo. We've been feeling the need for some relief, and this mix has got just the stuff. For the September set of our NNIGHTMIXX series, we've compiled a tracklist of R&B, hip-hop, rap, and funk to soothe your soul this semester. Every month, we compile some of our favorite tracks, all downloadable for free*, and share them with you in one magnificent place. Happy September!

This month's theme is centered around Hip Hop and R&B tracks meant for all your back to school get togethers and all the wonderful new people you will meet and get to know very well to these lovely sexy beats.

Just cool yo jets, we got sexy lives too.

- Alki

Its songs like this that make me really proud to be involved with remixes. This is the kind of track we look for. Respects the original, adds something unique to the remixers taste, and just really hooks you in. Bee Gee's Tragedy mixed by Forever Kid.

I know its a busy time with school but do listen, it just made my day

This smooth dark roast remix of Ella Fitzgerald's Blue Skies by Maya Jane Coles puts you in a whirl of a trance. Deep bass, haunting vocals, and a repetitive beat; can I use this for hypnosis? Maybe to convince Arod to finally admit life defeat?
