Afterglow (Akira Kiteshi Remix)
This is without doubt one of the biggest remixes we’ve heard in a very, very long time.
Phaeleh’s smooth and laid back original is transformed into a monster of a beat. The soft female vocals are kept throughout which maintains it’s semi-commercial presence and opens it’s doors to more popular times on mainstream radio – which in turn is great for producer Akira Kiteshi.
Released on Chemical Records later this month – you can purchase this beast via the link below.

Airplanes Remixed
This is a bit of a speed-post as we’re in St. Lucia and about to head down to the beach!
Another top remix by DYM of a song played on the radio more times than I’ve had warm dinners. DYM adds his trademark sounds to give this tune a bit of ‘street cred’!

Dub Fx Remixed
Dub Fx is a legend and catching one of his street performances is higher up our ‘To Do Before We Die List’ than partying at the Playboy Mansion.
Street Performances only go so far when it comes to earning the dollar so he’s got a few albums out. To be honest, we haven’t heard much of it however Dubzilla has added a bit of his own flavour to one of Dub Fx’s studio tracks which is available to download, for free, below.

Finally In Love?
We’re not big fans of modern-day cheesy R&B although Usher’s Confessions is an exception and sits safely in our music collection. Give us Nat King Cole (above) or Otis Redding over Chris Brown any day!
The labels however have realised that they need remixes to gain some extra online presence and if the usual R&B stuff is refixed and reworked, it’s been known for Mahogany HQ to be quite susceptible.
We featured Mclean before when Maximus/Baxter laid down their remix of My Name and now another big package of remixes have arrived in conjunction with his latest single, Finally In Love.
Here are our picks from the bunch. The first of which has got a really nice old school garage vibe to it, whilst the second is a typical dubstep remix and the third is just pure unadulterated club cheese.

Mahogany Exclusive – Foals Remix
Have to be honest, Foals album didn’t make waves with me upon first listen but after a good few back-to-back plays, it’s become a true musical treasure of 2010.
As for the remixes that churn out, be them official or bootleg, it’s something we’ve been keeping a close eye on and we’ve got our hands on a Mahogany exclusive this week from Leeds producer BangaTang.
BangaTang has been a choice cut for Kissy Sell Out and The Temper Trap and Foals have recruited his talents for their eerie Spanish Sahara song.

Stop And Stare Remixed
Bank holiday Monday has been spent doing absolutely nothing but listen to music.
Stumbled across this dubstep remix of the latest Fenech-Soler single by a man called GZUS who kindly dropped it over to us about 30 minutes ago and we’re not going to waste any time so here it is.
