Sweets of the Week – Friday the 13th Edition

January 13th, 2012

TGIF on what has been a sluggish week. Most people I’ve talked to are still trying to get out of that holiday slump and get the gears moving again. Last weekend, the city of Toronto was pretty much a ghost town where concerts were concerned. While this week definitely has more in the way of shows on offer, the winter grind is in full effect; it might just be easier to turn on the iPod and invite a couple of friends over.

And if that’s your choice, wicked! I got a couple of tracks to keep you warm and toasty!


THE SWEETS

While searching my gallery of songs I noticed that I didn’t have a single remix of this track. For some reason, that surprised me. Natalia Kills‘ anthem “Mirrors” takes on a whole new persona courtesy of Omega.

Natalia Kills – Mirrors (Omega Remix): LISTEN TO IT HERE


A track that definitely deserves some recognition. Tommie Sunshine adds a nice up tempo backbeat to what is already an amazing song. Arcade Fire are indescribable.

Arcade Fire – Sprawl II (Mountains Beyond Mountains) [Tommie Sunshine's Quaalude Edit]: LISTEN TO IT HERE


A little pop never hurt anyone. This track is made for both clubs and radio. With luck, a video will accompany this — because I personally wouldn’t mind seeing Neon Hitch provide some visuals specifically for this track …

Neon Hitch – F*** U Betta: LISTEN TO IT HERE


Sweden, Sweden, Sweden! They don’t even know how to make an ordinary track. It’s either go big or go home. With industry hotshot Nervo teaming up with Mister-Stadium-Anthem-Only Avicii, there was only ever one possible outcome.

Avicii and Nervo – You’re Gonna Love Again 


Want to be a successful producer/DJ? Follow the R3Hab formula: consistency! Drop so many tracks that even your haters will be believers. I can smell Pacha in this song!

Porcelain Black – Naughty (R3hab’s Pacha NYC 6AM Remix): LISTEN TO IT HERE 


Two of your favourite artists (kiddddddddddding) … but let’s be honest: Chris Brown and Pitbull are two of the industry’s biggest acts right now. So if you can’t avoid ‘em, join ‘em — preferably with extra bassssssss! Clinton Sparks is a G!

Pitbull feat. Chris Brown – International Love (Clinton Sparks & The Disco Fries Remix): LISTEN TO IT HERE 


Last but not least, something to really rock to. I love anthems like these: they seem to put a smile on my face no matter where I’m at. Hope it does the same for you! Sound Keepers don’t play around!!

Hellfire Machina feat. Infuze – Good Love (Soundkeepers Remix): LISTEN TO IT HERE


VISUAL SWEETS

I’ve just heard about this song and have already fallen so hard for it. The video is simple but stylish. Gotta love it!
