Discode (Mac Stanton Remix)
Produced by: Mac Stanton
Why You Should Listen: Mac Stanton’s latest remix? Oh yes, it is. Discode (Mac Stanton Remix) sees the So French Records label head rebuild Olowex’s single into an intoxicating, retro-electro anthem. It’s jam-packed with Stanton’s authentic sounds, featuring his standard rolling bass lines, vocoded lyrics, futuristic leads and much more.
Helix (Fibre Edit)
Produced by: Fibre
Why You Should Listen: According to his Soundcloud, Fibre created this edit of Justice’s Helix, so he could play out the six-year old track in any and all DJ sets. So, what you get here is exactly that – a more powerful rendition of the Ed Banger talent’s 2011 single, filled with more energy and dance-driven rhythms.

I Can Get (Bastion Remix)
Produced by: Bastion
Why You Should Listen: Parisian act, Bastion, returns to the music scene with a funky rendition of Danish electronic-pop duo, THANKS. In no time at all, the Frenchmen lay down a rinse of rosy synths, feel-good melodies and electric vibes, taking the Copenhagen-based group’s release to a whole new level. There’s something really special about this one, rekindling our love for the sounds of early 2000s French electronica.
Rain or Shine (DatA Remix)
Produced by: DatA
Why You Should Listen: Now, Rain Or Shine first gained popularity a number of years ago, appearing in a slew of commercials, so it only made sense to shine light on it once again. This gem of a release also received remix treatment from Krazy Baldhead and DatA, which didn’t go unnoticed. DatA’s crisp approach in style is immediately apparent, as the Frenchman crafts a unique surge of collected sounds and artifacts, breathing new life into the hip-hop single.
Things That You Do
Produced by: LemKuuja
Why You Should Listen: And last, but certainly not least, we have Lemkuuja’s latest release, Things That You Do. What makes this release so pristine is the resampling magic that’s constantly in play. Lemkuuja takes 1981 hit, Mighty Body by Leon Bryant, and brings it right into the new age, seamlessly fusing the funk track with distorted leads, smashing kits, guitar licks and much more. Impressed yet? We sure are.
