A highlight from Tiga’s album, Overtime, was release alongside a host of remixes a couple of months back. Now Turbo Recordings are kindly giving the standout Motor City Drum Ensemble remix away for free. And once again, Motor City Drum Ensemble reaches deep into the bowels of house, yanking out those clanging Chicago snares. Brodinski and Sei A’s remixes are also worth a look in:

Soul Clap are on top of their game right now. Their ‘Rnb Edits‘ on Wolf + Lamb house up Jamie Foxx and R.Kelly, proving that it’s not just dubstep/2-step making Rnb sound sleek.
