Chet Faker teams up with newbie Kilo Kish and their output is a sonic heavy-weight champion of seismic proportions. Chet’s cigarette-cured masculine bravado gets a side of Ms. Kish’s dreamy and evocative vocals which propels the track Melt into loftcries of harmonic ecstasy. Good. Very good. Peace.

Chet Faker isn’t an artist shrouded in mystery. A bit of mystique? Yes. This talented singer/songwriter/producer wears his intent, and perhaps his heart too, on his musical sleeve. No secret either how the music he creates is just plain lovely. I also find Chet Faker to be fearless, or maybe it’s just high-octane confidence, either way it’s all good. Here is an artist who can tackle Radiohead’s song Nude and reduce it to its spiritual essence, no mean feat. And CF is equally comfortable (and very capable) of reaching into the R&B archives of 1996 and polishing off Blackstreet’s No Diggity by Blackstreet into a new-found glowing radiance. After the jump, check out Chet Faker’s secret live session performing his very own, I’m Into You at S.O.TERIK‘s Showcase at SXSW presented by FILTER Magazine. Peace.

Pretty Lights – It’s Tricky (Run DMC – SSX Remix)
What better way to pay homage to one of Hip Hops most enduring and genre defining groups than to offer up this stargazing and star-scraping remix by none other than Pretty Lights. Colorado-based mixoligist/producer Derek Vincent Smith, aka Pretty Lights gives it up with a sickness, and raises the bar high (really high). If anyone else dare deigns to take it upon themselves to re-mix anything else by Run DMC they better bring it or stay at home. Check out the video below after the jump for the total experience. Hell, the incredible laser-light theatrics alone, which accompany the ultra-über remix, will make your mouth drop and your feet dance the C-Walk. For your Pretty Lights gratification, I got you covered. Also, check out “I Know The Truth” and “Still Rockin” below the below. Peace.
