A dope remix serves many functions. It can breathe new life into an otherwise stale original. It can introduce you to an original you might not have stumbled upon. It can even eclipse an original in ways not previously imagined. So I’m dedicating a new series to the freshest and most creative re-ups making a name for them damn selves.

ALMA & French Montana – Phases (KDA Remix)
– while the original stands out for its endearing pop sensibilities, the UK beatcrafter’s energetic flip injects a ridiculous future house bounce transforming it into a massive dancefloor killer. c/o Casablanca Records, add to your rotation stat!
Moglii ft. NOVAA – Tonic Water (Snocker Cot Remix)
– and from a young SoCal producer, it’s a measured but vibrant take on a subtly smooth original I was unfamiliar with until today. consider yourself learned with a copy of your own.
