Did you make a New Year's resolution to expand your iTunes library? Well, we're more than willing to help you out, because we've got a handful of free MP3s that we're just dying to share. Get on your dancing shoes and put on your eating pants, because it's time to indulge in some thumping goodness.
This week's edition of On The Download features remixes of Marina & The Diamonds, Alphabeat and Chromeo brought to your ears by Bubblegum Sci Fi, Fenech-Soler and The Sound of Arrows. We've also got a brand spanking (mmm, spanking) new song by the Smashing Pumpkins. Click through to check them out, and let us know what you think!
– Dewitt
To check out the songs, follow the JUMP:
———————————————————————————
Marina and The Diamonds – Hollywood (Fenech-Soler Remix): There are certain production elements on this that almost gave me a headache, but it's a must-have for fans of Marina. When her vocals come in, prepare to shake your hips so hard that people will mistake you for Shakira.
———————————————————————————
Alphabeat – Hole In My Heart (The Sound of Arrows Remix): If you could believe it, this clubtastic rework of Alphabeat's "Hole In My Heart" is less gay than the original. It'll bring out your inner go-go boy, so don't be surprised if people start slipping one dollar bills into your waistband.
———————————————————————————
Chromeo – Night By Night (Bubblegum Sci Fi Remix): These San Diego party boys transform Chromeo's latest single into a trashy, drunken anthem. Dance your pants off to this one, but don't be too surprised when you wake up the next morning in the gutter.
———————————————————————————
Smashing Pumpkins – A Song For A Son: Whether you're just not a dance music kind of guy or you just need something for the post-club cool-down, be sure to check out this mellow rock tune courtesy of Billy Corgan and the rest of the band.
Can we get some Janelle Monae in the mix? She’s different,she’s something new, and she has a very gay asthetic. Cha cha check her out Dewitt!
LOVE the Alphabeat mix and was not happy to have to wait until Feb for a taste of ownership. Thank you for posting this excellent remix!
Dewitt,
Have you checked the Fenech-Soler tune linked off the Marina and the Diamonds page, “I Need Love”…. it sounds pretty hot and might be worth a listen…
