Onomatopoeia Exclusive Download: /ˈjedˌīak/ - “Dream Lights” (Ellie Goulding vs. Beyonce) & “Smack That End” (Akon feat. Eminem vs. Shlohmo)

Day two of our exclusive remix week and I’m going with a totally different vibe than yesterday’s efforts. First up is one I finished back in July called “Dream Lights;” which feature’s Ellie Goulding’s “Lights” over Beyonce’s “Sweet Dreams.” Two older songs for sure but I thought the mix was screaming to happen, so why not by me?

Second up is something I finished up last week and that I’m actually quite pleased with. I feel the re-work totally updates the Akon vocal and brings it right back to 2014.  The Omni Echelon remix of Shlohmo & Jeremih’s “Realize The End” does most of the heavy lifting though.

On a side note it’s crazy how many different commercially released versions of “Smack That” are available out there, I think I heard at least four but the Eminem one worked best.

I also want to give a shout out to my flat mate, Jason, who provided the art for "Dream Lights," not for nothing but sometimes it feels like a factory in here pumping out all this material!

Check back tomorrow for more tunes and listen, download and share today’s features from below…

Onomatopoeia Exclusive Download: Perestroika - "Dead Men Tell No Tails"

Yarrr and a happy Labor Day folks and happy anniversary to Perestroika who are a year old today. Chambaland and I are keeping busy working on a couple of bigger things at the moment but we thought it only right to drop at least one tune to celebrate the day off and our birthday. “Dead Men Tell No Tails” originally took form as part of a long play mix that’s in the pipeline but we figured we would make it into a standalone track to share with our friends and readers as summer draws to a close and fall approches. Listen and download below and let us know what you think.

Listen: Beyoncé - "End Of Time (Om Unit remix)"

This bootleg remix of Beyonce's "End of Time" by Om Unit is yet another contribution to the current trend set by a multitude of up and coming electronic producers of remixing R&B mega-divas. Other such examples include Star Slinger's remix of Rihanna's "We Found Love" or Lapalux's take on Gwen Stefani's "Luxurious".  Listen to the track below:

Listen: Jay-Z & Kanye West - 'Watch the Throne'

Someone was nice enough to make available the long awaited Jay-Z and Kanye West combined effort, Watch The Throne in it's entirety. Featuring a few guest appearances including two from Frank Ocean and one from Jay-Z's wife, Beyonce. There are many highlights after my first listen and in my opinion doesn't disappoint. You can buy a copy of the album exclusively on iTunes with physical release coming later in the week.
