Once again, Opus Sound selects 10 remixes that deserve to be listened to. Enjoy!

î Kiesza - Hideaway (Bixel Boys Remix)

Canadian Kiesza is most surely trying to make a statement, combining house textures with pop promptness, something her first single 'Hideaway' explicitely showcases. L.A. based duo Bixel Boys have done a great work in adding deepness to the house core of the original track, toying with its vocals and infusing a bit more of that extra special flavour we all love in their productions: groove.

î Elekfantz - She Knows (Gui Boratto D.O.C. Club Remix)

Heading from Brazil, Daniel Kuhnen and Leo Piovezani, aka Elekfantz, have worked together for more than 20 years, but only now they have begun working seriously under this moniker. 'She Knows' is the new single, taken from the upcoming album 'Dark Tales & Love Songs' (out June 2), on Gui Boratto's new label. The seasoned producer and DJ has given a nice retouch to their song and made one of his best remixes in the last months.

î Röyksopp & Robyn - Do it Again (In Flagranti Remix)

Switzerland based electronic duo In Flagranti put their hands on the new track by Robyn and Röyksopp and the results are quite exciting. The Scandinavian musicians have teamed to create new songs, a collaboration that will originate a mini-album of pure electronic fun. In Flagranti leave the awkwardness that usually soaks their productions and transform the original song into something that resembles a massive electro wrecking ball with techno and industrial infatuations.

î Nils Noa (feat. Vinny) - Fade Away (diskJokke Remix)

It might no be what one expects from cosmic disco aficionado diskJokke, but a new remix from this talented Norwegian artist is always a journey to other worlds. This time, he takes his country fellow Nils Noa song and morphs it into a experimental adventure that is as demanding as interesting. There is a scary strangeness imprinted in the remix but you might find it rewarding after one or two listenings.

î SomethingALaMode (feat. DWNTWN) - On My Mind (Jean Tonique Remix)

After featuring Dan Black on a previous single, french duo SALM (SomethingALaMode) have teamed with DWNTWN's vocalist Jamie Leffler for another song from their forthcoming sophomore album, 'Endless Stairs'. Jean Tonique turns the more stratospheric original version of 'On My Mind' into a slow dancing summer hit, filled with sugar and rainbows, making us want to dive into a clear water beach right now.

î Chet Faker - Blush (Jüan du Sol 'Late Night Touch Up')

Who would ever thought that the eccentric and experimentalist musician Chet Faker would sound so wonderful after being remixed into something completely different? Jüan du Sol, from Australian trio RÜFÜS, uses only some samples of the vocals and fills the minimalistic structures of the original song with bouncy beats and a powerful bassline, throwing it right into the middle of the dance floor. Wow!

î Reflex - Sunset (Bufi Remix)

Bufi is quite unstoppable lately, having released his new EP 'Selvage' on DiscoTexas label and remixing several artists. This is one of his most imaginative efforts yet: he creates a dark and highly synthetic version of Reflex's new single 'Sunset', venturing away from the nu-disco soundscapes he usually produces. The remix is an electrifying journey into the twilight zone and moves slowly and creepily into the realms of nightmares. Like mindless zombies, we follow him and succumb to his power.

î ATTAR! (feat. Induce & Santana) - 45 Days (Rob Made Remix) 

Hailing from Belgium, ATTAR! has already delivered some great tunes, like his original song 'Fool' and great remixes for the likes of Adamski, Propellers, Citizen and even Giorgio Moroder. His new single, '45 Days', features Induce and Santana in a retro romance story embellished with vintage synths. Rob Made brings a housey aura to the track, adding deep basslines and funk elements to the formula.

î The Swiss - In the City (Adapt or Die Remix) 

Australian Adapt or Die are becoming one of our favourite remixers with their powerful and vibrant reworks for other artists.After RÜFÜS and The Aston Shuffle, it's now time for The Swiss to get their latest single 'In the City' revamped into a tour de force built on top of gargantuous beats and loads of fun. They successfully mix electro with techno like few other artists can, draining our adrenaline to the last drop.

î Miami Horror (feat. Cleopold) - Colors in the Sky (Chrome Canyon Remix)

American synth lover Chrome Canyon makes an absolutely delicious rendition of Miami Horror's song 'Colors in the Sky'. He keeps the slow rhythm of the original, even downing the BPM rate a little bit, and adds layers and layers of vintage samples to produce a sensual and retro version that truly crawls underneath your skin and makes your body wiggle in lascivious manners.

The ammount of great remixes that are released daily makes it impossible to keep track of everything. But since there are lots of remixes that trully deserve recognition, Opus Sound will start, periodically, to select a few that, even if not featured in individual posts, shouldn't be missed by anyone who likes electronic music. We'll mostly try to select fresh stuff, but nothing prevents us from occasionally walk down the memory lane, right?

For this first Selection, we recommend:

î MSMR - Hurricane (Goldroom Remix)

L.A. based Josh Legg (aka Goldroom) never disappoints when recreating other artists work, lending them a summer vibe to which is difficult to resist. Indie pop band MSMR's single 'Hurricane', taken from their debut album 'Secondhand Rapture', becomes a blissed out, dreamlike sugarcane thanks to his envying ability to breathe warm and sweet textures into its sad atmosphere.

î Javeon - Intoxicated (The Magician Remix)

Javeon's singles have been consistently very good, a great harbinger for his debut album later this year. His r&b textures couple with nu-disco, electronic and pop inflections and even if his sound is intimate, it aspires for grandness. The Magician has just released a house-infused version of his lastest single, 'Intoxicated', and it has his signature all over.

î Jagwar Ma - Uncertainty (Cut Copy Remix)

Australian psychedelic band Jagwar Ma get a remix by country fellows Cut Copy for their great tune 'Uncertainty' (from their last year's album 'Howlin''). The expansiveness remains a constant in this new version of the song, which delapidates its indie rock elements to bring forth the dancey ingredients, adding a cheerful sound that we instantly recognize as Cut Copy's trademark.

î Scavenger Hunt - Lost (Noah Hyde Remix)

Hailing from L.A., Scavenger Hunt is a duo composed of Jill Lamoureaux and Dan Mufson, that have recently released their first EP, which has two songs, the wonderful 'Lost' (released in 2013) and the sensual 'Dreamers'. American Noah Hyde leaves his comfort zone made of synthetic and retro soundscapes to create a breezy and organic remix for 'Lost', a trully lovely version that enhances Jill's soothing vocals.

î Night Drive - After Dark (The Penelopes Remix)

Electro pop with noir tinges the flavours of Night Drive's new track. The music of this Austin based duo drinks from seminal acts like OMD, New Order and even LCD Soundsystem. 'After Dark' gets the remix treatment by Parisian duo The Penelopes, who revamp it into a more club oriented track while preserving the retro vibe intact, thanks to an impressive handling of neon synths and infectious basslines.

î Leisure Cruise - Double Digit Love (Plastic Plates Remix)

Where Leisure Cruise (new duo from Brooklyn, USA) find happiness in vintage ramblings and raw electronic guitars and in painting the future as they envision it in the past, Felix Bloxsom, better known by his alias Plastic Plates, mixes the original material into something poppier and more fast-paced. Both the versions are great, but if you want to dance, this remix might just suit you.

î Battles - My Machines (Museum of Love Remix)

Experimental rock meets experimental disco. The New York based trio Battles released their sophomore album, 'Gloss Drop', back in 2011, followed by a record with new versions of the songs in 2012. By then, an embryonic Museum of Love were already reworking one of the tracks, 'My Machines', into an avant-disco derangement, completely erasing the rock complexions and adding contagious dance structures. Let's remember it.

î Lane 8 (feat. Lucy Stone) - Nothing You Can Say (Baio Remix)

British Chris Baio, member of Vampire Weekend, is making quite a name for himself as a DJ and remixer. This time, he's all over Lane 8's new track 'Nothing You Can Say', which features a lovely vocal work by Lucy Stone. While the original is a charming electronic tune that streams progressively through deep grooves, Baio throws in a balearic flavor, some nervous clicks and faded howls, enhancing its dreamlike virtuousness.

î RÜFÜS - Take Me (Miguel Campbell Remix)

One of the most soothing remixes made for the last year's hit, 'Take Me', by Australian RÜFÜS. British nostalgic DJ Miguel Campbell takes the original sparsness as a mold and fills in the spaces with a groovy bassline and a funky rhythm. He keeps it simple and just adds some neat arrangements in the right proportions, valuing efficiency over excess.

î The Subs (feat. Colonel Abrams) - Trapped (Compuphonic Remix)

The Subs have just released their new album, 'Hologram'. It's an uncompromising and intense mixture of genres, but one of the stand out tracks is 'Trapped', a new rendition of the 80's single by Colonel Abrams (which re-recorded his vocals with the trio). Belgian DJ and producer Compuphonic transforms the song into a shinny dance gem, where the voluptuous kicks coil around the intense vocals and grant instant satisfaction.
