1. Travi$ Scott ft. Young Thug – “Skyfall (RL Grime & Salva Remix)
Obviously any time RL Grime and Salva get together it’s going to be great. Their take on Travi$ Scott’s track is catchy and climactic, with major bass drops. It’s a completely different take on Scott’s original.

5. XYLØ – “America”
XYLØ‘s blissed out dark wave single is just breathtaking. Their moody pop track teeters somewhere between Lana Del Rey and Broods with an explosion of synth magic.

6. Vance Joy – “Riptide (Kasbo Remix)”
Kasbo takes this track and just flips it on it’s head. This downtempo remix leaves no traces of the original ukulele beat and instead filled with dynamic, energetic synth.

7. Jai Paul – “BTSTU (Kource Remix)”
Kource gives Jai Paul’s slow and alluring “BTSTU” an uptempo twist. It’s echoey and very modern, following the latest future bass trend. This remix is equally intriguing as the beautifully produced original.

8. Justin Bieber – “All That Matters (LUCA LUSH Remix)
LUCA LUSH has been cranking out remixes. For this Bieber remix, he combines future garage with deep piano hits, creating a very whimsical remix that sounds like two distinguishable but cohesive songs. It’s so good you actually forget it’s a Justin Bieber mix.

9. Jhene Aiko – “Vapors (Madbliss Rework)”
Madbliss really lets Jhene Aiko’s float on top of the bright rhythm. He left vocals alone because they’re already flawless, and simply manipulated the surrounding sound, to accentuate rather than mask that beauty.

10. Tiara Thomas – “How It Is (XXYYXX Remix)”
XXYYXX touched it so obviously it’s going to be good. His clean r&b remix of Tiara Thomas’s acoustic track is sexy and not too over the top, truly highlighting the intricacies of Thomas’s vocals.

12. George Maple – “Talk Talk (Tails x Ta-ku Flip)
Of all the “Talk Talk” remixes, Tails’ flip of Ta-ku’s remix is probably the most variant from the original. There’s a lovely light beat over the deep bass and it’s just a good listen.

13. MAR CO – “Bridges”
