Sun Glitters - Boy From the Sun/ Ungirthed remixes



Sun Glitters has been on constant repeat for longer than most other artists this year, but for some reason I've never gotten around to posting his stuff. Better late than never I suppose, Sun Glitters recently remixed Niva's "Boy From the Sun." You can hear Niva repay the favor come Monday morning when Sunglitter's remix album is released on Ufolk. Check out the remix, along with Niva's Feverish Dreams EP(don't miss the stand out Ghost in My Head) below.

Sun Glitter's also tried his hand at remixing my favorite song of the year. Sun Glitters takes Purity Ring's Ungirthed, chops it up even further and replaces a bit of the original's joy with an ethereal pensiveness. With an original so incredible, its hard to see a reason for so many remixes, but if you somehow get tired of the original, we now have three worthy alternates.

Seven Saturdays - Secret Things (remix album)



I've been jamming (actually I'm usually studying) to Seven Saturdays for a while now, but I just never got around to posting anything. The Sun Airway remix introduced me to the ambient-pop project, and the Memoryhouse remix has also been buzzing around the web for the past few weeks. Everything on this remix album is just a good as the first two singles and you could probably assume that just by looking at the lineup. Memoryhouse, Sun Airway, Teen Daze, Houses and Millionyoung are all Athid Favorites and none of them disappointed here. To be honest, it'd be quite the feat to disappoint with such beautiful source material, but its always nice to see some of your favorite artists together in the same place. All prior bias aside, newcomers White Sea manage to create perhaps the most triumphant remix of the bunch. An album like this has the potential to make all the chillwave haters shut up for a few minutes and just... chill :)
The album is only available to stream until next Tuesday, no word yet on a physical release.
