Earlier this week, OWSLA signee The M Machine dropped some new tunage for your delicate little ears to try and process.

Their OWSLA After Dark Mix was created for the ever popular BBC1x Radio show, Mistajam. By creatively using dispersed vocal samples of Charlie Chaplin’s ‘The Great Dictator’ as transitory elements, the dynamic trio have produced a compilation of monumental proportion. But that’s not all.

Just a few days later, The M Machine released two remixes of Empire of the Sun’s hit track, “DNA”, on their SoundCloud. Interestingly enough, both remixes are dedicated to a specific Greek deity. The first remix paid tribute to the God of music, poetry, plague, oracles, sun, medicine, light and knowledge – Apollo. Similarly, the second remix honored that of Helios, the God of the Sun. We really aren’t sure as to why The M Machine decided to channel their inner Mt. Olympus, but we’re not complaining.

Make sure to check out both versions of “DNA”, as well as the track list of Space Jams after the break.

1. There’s a reason why this song is number one, and his name is TwoThirds.

2. Calvin Harris & Empire Of The Sun. Enough said.

3. I don’t know what’s in the water over there in Australia, but let’s make sure Walden keeps drinking it.

4. If Bruno Mars was smart he’d drop Audien‘s remix at the Super Bowl.

5. One of the best remixes of any song I’ve ever heard. Ever. Thank you Throttle.

6. Lana Del Rey keeps popping up on our website. But can you blame her when Kaskade is behind the decks?

7. You have now entered Tritonia.

8. Benny Benassi teams up with up and comer Alex Gaudino. The result? Something truly magical.

9. Cash Cash has been all the rage this summer. But have you heard Fareoh’s remix of “Take Me Home”?

10. Nothing like a little Madeon to finish you off.

Empire of the Awesome: ‘Alive’ Remixes From Zedd, David Guetta & Mat Zo [HAPPY]

Some of the brightest stars in EDM have shined their creative light onto the most recent single from the dreamy, electro-pop duo known as Empire of the Sun.

It would appear as if their single titled ‘Alive’ has stirred some inspiration into a few of our favorite producers. Subsequent to the release of Zedd‘s remix teaser, the king of EDM himself, David Guetta, has followed suit with his own take on the increasingly popular track. In addition, up-and-coming producer Mat Zo has offered up his version of the remix as well.

There is much to be said about an original track that earns remixes from such colossal names. To begin, the fact that these producers chose to work with the song grants us insight into how talented the original artist truly is. It also gives the listener a chance to understand what kind of sounds or styles the artists themselves draw from. The sheer difference in the sound of each remix leads us to believe that the adaptability of Empire of the Sun’s single is yet another reason why some of EDM’s biggest names hopped on board for this remix.

Give all of them a listen and be sure to watch for the full remix EP, which is set to drop May 28th. If you like these jams, then you are sure to like the original. ‘Alive‘ is the single from their forthcoming album Ice on the Dune, which will be released in June. No rhymes were intended in the making of this post.
