Replace Stress with Beauty...

After the most stressful period I've had since starting my current job, I haven't had the energy outside of work to actually compile a list of tracks for my blog for a few days, and most of the stuff on my ongoing list that I build up has already been shared via the wonders of social networking. However, after a very long day followed by a couple of glasses of wine this evening, I made the conscious decision to replace stress with beauty - at least for a few hours, until work strikes again!

I hope today's selection helps to relax you as much as it has myself this evening! I've found a few tracks by some relatively unknown producers, however I hope you agree that they are all great.


First up we have some down tempo dubstep - this is absolutely beautiful! If this gorgeous vocal, and these melodic beats can't help you unwind then you need more help than I can provide I'm afraid! Stunning! This is Mechanical Pressure, with a track called Laid Other Humans.


Next up we have a new progressive house number from Matt Lange, called Sixty Six, that is out at the moment. I love this track, it twists and turns perfectly and is just great to float away to.


This next track is a Pále bootleg remix of Nightime by The XX - again, this is absolutely stunning! Perfect music to float away to on a hot sunny day, when you're nicely relaxed in good company. Fantastic!


Time to switch it up a notch now with some of the beautiful new drum and bass that is out there at the moment. First, this lovely liquid number is by Grafix, and was given away by him recently in return for reaching 6000 likes on facebook. Click here to download the track - this is called Rebuild.


This next track is a remix by Cosmistic - the original is by Siedah Garrett, and the track is called Rain Down Love. This is a beautiful, and energetic track, that managed to chill me out and make me feel energised at the same time! Lovely stuff!

I have two tracks for you now that were the winner and runner up in the recent Feint - Clockwork Hearts remix competition.


This first track was the runner up in this competition, and is by a 17 year old from Wakefield, who goes by the name of Bustrexx - this is a phenonemonal piece of production from someone so young, and I can't wait to see what he has in store for us over the coming years!


The next track was the winner of this competition - this is a progressive house remix of Clockwork Hearts, and I'm sure you will agree that it is epic - this is by Hivemynd, and again, I can't wait to hear more from this guy!


The last track that I have for you today is by a producer called Inkarv; the track is called "If I", and it's a fabulous piece of glitchy slow tempo bass music that manages to strike a chord in my soul. This just seemed to be the perfect piece of music to finish today's blog entry on - gorgeous, chilled out, relaxing summer sounds. Love it! Throw out that stress, and embrace beautiful sounds like this!

I have something a bit different for you on Friday, with a special guest blog showcasing a totally different type of music! Keep your eyes (and more importantly, your ears!!) peeled and I'll see you then! :)
