Syn Cole – Miami 82 (Avicii Edit) [Preview]
Although Avicii's debut artist album "True" is only two months old, the Swedish juggernaut shows no signs of slowing down his release schedule. Debuted by Pete Tong on Friday, Syn Cole's Miami 82 receives the Avicii treatment and Tim Bergling transforms the original mix into something all his own. The edit is more aggressive than most of Avicii's productions and completely devoid of the melodic climaxes we've all come to know and love from the 24-year-old Swede, but it still showcases Avicii's production prowess and his penchant for creating music that immediately gets stuck in your head.
Henrik B, Niklas Gustavsson, Peter Johansson – Echoes (Merk & Kremont Remix)
This past August, Henrik B, Niklas Gustavsson and Peter Johansson joined forces for the powerhouse collaboration "Echoes." Released on Avicii's LE7ELS, "Echoes" resonated with the label head's own impeccable melodic focus, driven forward by a soaring top line and euphoric chord progressions. This time around newcomers Merk & Kremont take their shot at the track, installing a gritty electro backbone into the originals catchy hooks. Twisting the melody into a funk-fueled acid break, the duo push the track into overdrive - leaving only its punctual vocals intact.
