Funky Summer?

We are leaving the winter behind us and start looking forward to those first summerfestivals and summerpartys. The next two tracks and two mixtapes will probably not be the summer anthem of this year but they sure get the summervibe going.

First up a remix by Dj Manaia and Alif (behalf of DropTop), they remixed one of the biggest hypes in the blogosphere a while ago: Congorock – Babylon. After the amazing video from the A/V Scion project a lot of mp3 rips were spread and it was played all over the place even though it still isn’t released (I plea guilty). Funky remix but I was suprised the tempo wasn’t cranked up to the maximum, as I’m used of hearing from our GetHypedOnThis regular: Dj Manaia. The remix has some Majorlazer-like lyrics going (it’s actually Mr.Flex) on which are also added to the Original mix now out on Beatport!

Congorock – Babylon (DJ Manaia and Alif Remix)

Next a rerub(?) by The Disco Villians, yet again another surprising outcome. Very relaxed/laidback track instead of the pumping electro beats. Would love to hear this track at some huge summer outdoor event. Steaming hot.

Then the mixtapes I was talking about. The first one is from Mumbai Science who’s first EP is set to release end this month on the Lektroluv label, we did an interview with these guys which you can still read here.

Last but not least a new mix from Riva Starr. Love his style, love his music, love to drop his productions in my sets every single time and for some reason they never get boring!

    You got DJ Manaia to post a comment on one your posts? Awesome. Like the tune, but much like you was expecting the higher tempo that Manaia has come to be known for. Props.

    Can’t seem to find the track up on beatport yet. You sure it’s out on Beatport already?

    Strange, It was one Beatport two days ago (when I last checked), but it’s indeed gone again at the moment
