MP3: Miguel – “…All” (Kastle Remix)

Quest St. Jacobs — Wed, 30 Jan 2013 14:41:58 +0000

Kastle released a remix to Miguel’s “…All” from his Kaleidoscope Dream album this afternoon that sounds very good. The remix completely compliments the song, while taking it into a new place just enough for you to add it to the music library. Kastle is known for his dub-work in remixing R&B based singles, check out the Frank Ocean “Pyramids” & The Weeknd “The Party After The Party” remix he did as well. MP3: Miguel – [...]

Jared Smith — Fri, 09 Nov 2012 22:36:25 +0000

The Weeknd had VH1′s Best Week Ever. Abel laughs in the face of Barack Obama’s reelection and George Lucas’ 4 billion dollars. Nothing beats three new songs and a music video featuring Drake, all culminating in Abel’s new mega-album Trilogy, due out November 13th. Purchase the album here, and be sure to listen to “Til Dawn (Here Comes The Sun)”, “Valerie”, “Twenty Eight”, and watch the official music video for “The Zone”. Video: The Weeknd [...]

The Weeknd – Enemy + Rolling Stone (Truth Remix)

Jared Smith — Fri, 26 Oct 2012 15:16:46 +0000

Hey girl, The Weeknd is back with a bonus track that will not be on the upcoming Trilogy (Trillogy, that’s yours to use Abel, free of charge) due out November 13th by Universal. “Enemy” cops a feel from the emo “Please Please Please Let Me Get What I Want” (This Time banananana). Abel flips the sample into his own brand of nihilistic PBR&B to let the ladies know that he’s a giant man whore and [...]

Jared Smith — Thu, 11 Oct 2012 01:47:16 +0000

Childish Gambino vs Blink 182. The Weeknd vs The Glitch Mob. School of Seven Bells vs Korn. Kanye West vs Evanscence? Only available in our dreams and imaginations until just this moment. Uber-talented masher DJ Bahler has created a short and sweet mixtape of Halloween (and Are You Afraid Of The Dark) inspired mashups for this month of fun and scary parties.

Video: The Weeknd – Rolling Stone

Ryan M — Thu, 04 Oct 2012 13:15:25 +0000

For our fans that don’t keep up with the R&B community, The Weeknd is easily the best up and coming artist out there. Its hard to call him a new artist after being featured on tracks by Lil Wayne and Drake but his individual music still continues to expand. At first listen “Rolling Stone” reminded me a lot of Ellie Goulding’s cover of another Weeknd song “High for This”. Using soft melodic vocals and pitch [...]

Mashup Album: DJ Bahler & Frail Limb Purity – XOXO (The Glitch Mob Vs. The Weeknd)

Jared Smith — Tue, 26 Jun 2012 16:40:11 +0000

Say someone makes a 13 song mashup album pitting The Weeknd against The Glitch Mob. If that person had even a modicum of talent, it would still be listenable. Thankfully “XOXO” was done by the inventive Frail Limb Purity and DJ Bahler, creator of one of if not my favorite mashup albums ever. So you know you’re in good hands listening to this 13 song mashup mixtape. Mixed in with the PBR&B glitch-hop are indie [...]

MP3: Ellie Goulding – “High For This” (PatrickReza Dubstep Remix)

Jared Smith — Thu, 31 May 2012 20:06:23 +0000

Well that was fast. Yesterday Ellie Goulding unexpectedly covered The Weeknd’s “High For This” with the help of Xaphoon Jones on the boards. Now dubstep expert PatrickReza has already given the song a remix worthy enough. Wubs and wobbles were added and it only took the producer two hours early this morning to create. Impressive stuff, and as always, check out our downloadable list of the best Ellie Goulding.

Weeknd Cover: Ellie Goulding – “High For This”

BIGchris — Wed, 30 May 2012 14:02:59 +0000

Pop princess Ellie Goulding has given a golden touch to The Weeknd‘s “High For This”. This Xaphoon Jones production strips away dark powerful synth and gives it a light airy and almost whimsical feel. I was a big fan of House of Ballons and when I first saw this I thought.. no effing way she can even come close, alas I was proven wrong. Her soothing voice will definitely ease you into your mid week [...]

Watch The Weeknd’s Full Coachella Set, Download The Audio, & Check The Setlist

Jared Smith — Mon, 16 Apr 2012 14:03:08 +0000

Abel Tesfaye aka The Weeknd XO is a very private dude, so it was a pleasant surprise to see his one hour set live streamed on Coachella’s Youtube last night. He emotionally belts out songs from his impressive trilogy of mixtapes from 2011. My only complaint is the first half of this set takes place in sunlight. If theres an artist more associated with the night, I havent heard it yet. He put up the [...]

Introducing Frail Limb Purity & His Glitch Mob Remixes Ft The Game, The Weeknd, & Drake

Jared Smith — Wed, 21 Mar 2012 18:09:08 +0000

When I tell you this new mashup features The Game’s “It’s Okay (One Blood)” versus Drake’s “Over” versus Matty G “West Coast Rocks (The Glitch Mob Remix)”, you’ll probably have an idea how that’ll sound in your head. But you have no clue when it comes to Frail Limb Purity, who is using the Soundcloud Machine properly with dark, inventive creations weekly. I picked out a few of his remixes by The Glitch Mob. Enjoy [...]

Electro Set Download: Chi Duly Remixes The Weeknd – “Balloons Of Haus”

Jared Smith — Fri, 17 Feb 2012 03:25:16 +0000

Until now, Portland producer Chi Duly was most internet famous for his Coldplay versus Drake mashup album October’s Very Cold. Now he topped himself with turning some highlights of The Weeknd’s epic 2011 discography into club bangers. Words from the Chi Duly himself: “Balloons of Haus is house music for the “I’m not really into techno” folks. It’s uptempo but more to the point (free of those minute long intros/breakdowns of arbitrary ambience). The concept [...]

Which Lineup Is Better? Coachella or Ultra?

Jared Smith — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 17:20:14 +0000

Because of how fast Coachella sold out last year, the festival will be two weekends this year, April 13-15 and 20-22, with all acts performing both dates. Killer lineup, job well done to the Coachella organizers. Radiohead, Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, and The Black Keys are the headliners, while Too Good For Radio favorites Childish Gambino, The Weeknd, M83, Frank Ocean and many more will be on hand too. This lineup definitely holds its own [...]

Mixtape: The Weeknd – “Echoes of Silence”

Jared Smith — Thu, 22 Dec 2011 05:50:17 +0000

2011 was most definitely won by Abel Tesfaye aka The Weeknd who dropped not one, not two, but now three mixtapes (not to mention a few guest appearances on Drake’s Take Care). “Echoes of Silence” just dropped unannounced like his other two acclaimed mixtapes, House of Balloons and Thursday, which ended up on many best of the year lists. And this is exactly why you don’t do a yearly Best Of list until the year [...]
