One of the few acts I’ve been a fan of longer than Youngblood Hawke is The Soundmen. These guys have been killing remixes since damn near the beginning of The Burning Ear over 5 years ago. The Soundmen remixed Youngblood Hawke last year to great success and luck yus, they have done it again. The darker edged “Pressure” gets a funked summery treatment but doesn’t lose its after-dark edge.
“We wanted to explore the duality of pressure as a force of destruction and creation. We thought balancing that idea with the feel good vibes of The Soundmen would create an interesting contrast that brings a new excitement to the track.” – Simon Katz of Youngblood Hawke
I know, I know. I promised that The Remix Roundups were back when I posted Vol 71 but then life happened and anyway, here is Vol 72 for your weekend enjoyment! I’ve posted a bunch of these before but its sure been a while and now that the weather is warmer just grab the whole playlist and kick out the jams!

Youngblood Hawke have always had the energy and the hooks but now TBE faves The Soundmen have given a nice rub of that sunshine funk that makes this remix so damn lovable.
The Soundmen have been behind a lot of my favorite remixes of the past 4 years and this take on recent fave “Caaalifornia” shows exactly why. They aren’t afraid to take a track in a totally weird direction. This is the kind of script-flipping that made RAC great back in the day. Push the envelope. Take me somewhere new. I will follow.
♫ OnCue – Rich Kid (prod. by Brenton Duvall & CJ Luzi)
♫ OnCue – Feel Tall (The Soundmen Remix)
Bonus Soundmen remix to remind you that these guys are still the finest.
♫ Drake – Crew Love (The Soundmen ReFix)
It’s not just the Poland-checking lyrics of “Crew Love” that endear me to the song (Although that helps. Holler!) it’s a standout track from Take Careno matter which big-hearted Eastern European Post Soviet country Drake wanted to name drop. So even though The Soundmen cut the lyrics that hit home on my crew love for my Poles, the end result is still is hazy smooth mix of the jam that I can get behind.
