Mindchatter massages the mind with “Young Folks,” a gently immersive and highly textured cover of the original Peter Bjorn and John song. Mindchatter reimagines this baroque indie pop song in his sparkling dance style. Twinkling, textured synths compliment their silvery singing voice. The cruising drumline maintains the catchy energy in the original “Young Folks” while also adding a danceable element.

Highly lauded producer JAYCEEOH teams up with Lerome Swiss on their cover of Kid Cudi’s track “Angel” off of his most recent album, Entergalactic. While the first version of “Angel” is celestial and introspective, JAYCEEOH and Lerome Swiss add a twist of big room house. This cover of “Angel” combines grace with the energy of a festival mainstage performance at sunset.

AmyElle blurs the lines between deep house and trance with her remix of “Forever” by Icarus. She weaves the autotune vocals with a driving drum pattern and grooving harmonies. The mesmerizing house heartbeat transports listeners to a warehouse while the glowing synth rhythm emulates flashing strobes. AmyElle’s remix of “Forever” hypnotizes listeners and even feels reminiscent of Daft Punk.
