Lana del Rey Remix

Dhruva — Mon, 17 Oct 2011 12:00:28 +0000

Lana del Rey’s music and smoked out montage Lo-fi videos have been making serious waves on the interwebs for some time now and we ‘re definitely into the whole “sad core” Hollywood vintage thing she has going on. Here’s our take on her tune, Video Games:

Regina Spektor Remix

Dhruva — Mon, 19 Sep 2011 23:45:03 +0000

We’ve been dropping this in our sets for the past few months and now you can have it – our Moombahton-injected remix of Regina Spektor’s On the Radio.

Enjoy…

CREEP Remix

Dhruva — Fri, 09 Sep 2011 00:00:23 +0000

New Tune! We just remixed “You” by fellow Brooklyn duo, CREEP, featuring the vocals of Nina Sky. This one is on the haunting slow-burn tip and we had a great time working on it.
There was a lot of homegrown sound sculpting on this one as much of the rhythm pallet comes from household items like soap bottles, cardboard boxes, coffee grinders and compressed air. Always fun to geek out in the lab.

Grab our remix below and check out the video for the original here.
Enjoy!
