Suck In My Skull 547 -- "Lies (Zeds Dead Remix)"

Song: "Lies" || Artist: Marina and the Diamonds || Remixing Artist: Zeds Dead || http://youtu.be/KTYD_kN7rPg ||

Comments: Good morning and happy Monday, everyone! Let's start the week off right with some free music! This song is a remix of the song "Lies" by pop group Marina and the Diamonds, who were recently popular from the song "Primadonna Girl." The remixing artist here is Zeds Dead, who I first heard of waaay back when their remix of the Blue Foundation song "Eyes on Fire" was tearing up the internet. I can see the similarities between the two mixes -- Zeds Dead seems to really like putting some massive synth and huge bass behind compelling vocals. I think this is a more mature and complex remix, though -- the instrumentation here is much more intricate with lots of attention payed to the percussion both in and out of the bridge and all the way through the drops. I think this song is great. Check it out, download it, and don't forget to like us on Facebook for the latest!

Attribution: I found this song (and a lot of other really great stuff) on the YouTube channel of SuicideSheep, the 'Free Music' alternate channel of the famous MrSuicideSheep. You rock!

AMANDA-- "LIES (ZED'S DEAD REMIX)"

Happy Friday all! Today I've got an awesome drum and bass dupstep remix for you. When I got up this morning I knew I wanted to use a song from Marina and the Diamonds, one of my favorite bands that has yet to appear on the blog. In my quest, I came across this Zed's Dead remix of the Diamonds' "Lies." It kinda sorta blew my mind. I actually had to go back and listen to the original, which, while good, seems slightly lackluster in comparison.The track takes the Welsh artist's beautiful vocals and melodic elements and  gives them what I can only describe as a certain power and edginess. It's wicked cool. Zed's Dead, who take their name from Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction, don't have an official record label but you can download much of their music for free on Soundcloud, including this remix. Check 'em out! Happy listening!
