Dodie’s Picks of the Week
My flexibility isn’t what it used to be, but luckily I am still able to jam out at work and stumble across songs I must share. What I have here are anthem-like bangers with some great vocals, suited for dance floors all over.
The first is a new track by Quintino & Alvaro entitled World In Our Hands, and has made appearances on many podcasts streaming the internet these days.
Next is an unreal remix by W&W of Armin’s latest This Is What It Feels Like.
Last, but not least is Eddy de Datsu’s remix of Alex Gaudino and Jordan Sparks’ Is This Love. What a solid remix!
Sound Remedy – Liberation (Original Mix)
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Sound Remedy is the sh*t. And he proves himself once again with his latest track entitled Liberation. This will give you chills as it explodes through the speakers.

Jill Scott – Golden (Kaytranada’s Life Living Remix)
Beautiful and soulful, Kaytranada’s remix of Jill Scott is more life-affirming then any of those self-help books on the shelves. Jill Scott’s vocals shine over the minimal, funky beat.
Two Door Cinema Club – Sleep Alone (The Chainsmokers remix)
At the peak of their career, Two Door Cinema Club was being remixed left and right into dance floor anthems. Lo and behold, they still are a group worthy of such and that’s how The Chainsmokers felt about them, too. This remix of Sleep Alone captures the energy of TDCC’s lyrics and mixes in a nice bit of progressive sound, creating a nicely balanced sound. This is a really great remix, guys.

Deadmau5 & Melleefresh – Sex Slave (DANK remix)
DANK is a New York producer who brought life and energy into Deadmau5 and Melleefresh’s Sex Slave. This producer represents heavy bass culture which you can hear in this fierce drum step remix. If banging heads and banging boots is your cup of tea, then give this gem a listen.

Zedd feat. Foxes – Clarity (Mr. Fanatiq Orchestral Mix)
With only four days remaining in Zedd’s Clarity remix contest, artists from all over are rushing to submit their take on the amazing track. This orchestral mix by Mr. Fanatiq really caught my attention with all the beauty that comes out of it. It makes the original sound so much more emotional. This deserves to be a top contender in the remix contest.
