Stuck In My Skull 539 -- "Youth (Adventure Club Remix)" [Free Download]

Song: "Youth" || Artist: Foxes || Remixing Artist: Adventure Club || http://youtu.be/2XG_0iV2B40 ||

Comments: Hello everyone! Let's get your week started off right with an amazing remix of an amazing song. Foxes -- mostly recently famous for being the vocalist on Zedd's track "Clarity" -- put together a pretty excellent song that Adventure Club got ahold of and somehow managed to make better. This song sits somewhere between dubstep and chillstep, being slow and calm but not quite as mellow as what I would normally call chillstep. It's got Foxes' eerily good vocals perfectly complementing an excellent drop and some truly gripping instrumentation. I originally stumbled onto this song when I saw it on this a popular YouTube channel known for its excellent taste in free music. There's currently no download link to the song by either Foxes or Adventure Club so I don't feel comfortable providing a possibly dangerous link to a download site from here, but I will say that it's fairly easy to find a download if you just Google the song. (Do this at your own risk. Again, I can't find an official download so it may or may not be piracy at this point.) Whether you want to download it or not, definitely give this track a listen. It's amazing.

Update: Nevermind, there is an official download link. Click here! You'll have to like Adventure Club on Facebook to unlock the download, but it's official and it exists! Speaking of Facebook, make sure to Like us on Facebook as well!

Stuck In My Skull 385 -- "Clarity" and Announcement!

Song: "Clarity" || Artist: Zedd feat. Foxes || http://youtu.be/IxxstCcJlsc ||

Comments: Hey everyone, I'm going to get the announcement out of the way first. With Amanda back on the blog, there are now four of us writing, and two to three of us writing on any given day -- that's a tad too much, we think. As a result, I'm going to try writing on just three days a week. Starting today, I'll be writing on just Monday, Tuesday, and Friday. I'm doing this to keep some balance in the number of posts each day, and hopefully having more time to write will make for better entries from me. After 384 posts, I have to admit I've worn a bit thin.

Moving on to the song. First, I had to check: Zedd has nothing to do with Zed's Dead, who did the massively popular remix of "Eyes on Fire" by Blue Foundation. Zedd is a 23 year old wonderkid of electronic music that I've never heard of, and will be listening to quite a bit after this post. He has remixed some of the biggest names in pop and electronic music, and is currently producing Lady Gaga's ARTPOP album, according to Wikipedia. At time of writing, this song is third on Billboard's Dance/Club Play Songs chart, and has spent nine weeks on the chart. I can see why. Foxes' (Louisa Rose Allen) vocals pick up where the beautiful piano intro leaves off, and step on the gas, taking this listener through an emotional, amazing journey. This song is simply phenomenal. Check it out!
