California Gurls
It’s no secret that I am a New York City boy, which means I like my girls spoiled, brunette, and Jewish,
However, I had the pleasure of meeting a bonafide California girl this weekend, and I must admit they are rather pleasant.
Here is a gang of California Gurls remixes.
1) California Gurls (Armand Van Helden Remix)
I’m a fan of the sound permeating Armand’s tracks lately. It is very French House, very disco-centric. This has to be my favorite of all of the remixes.
2) California Gurls (Algeronics Remix)
This one has a nice bouncey euro touch to it, and it builds up nicely. It maintains a good amount of singalongability, too, which is something Armand’s remix is devoid of.
3) California Gurls (HYPER CRUSH Remix)
It’s HYPER CRUSH! So you know that you are going to get their presence in every aspect of the track, but this track is hyphy as fuck. A nice build-up at the 2:00 mark will def have all of the California Gurls shaking in their Daisy Dukes.
4) California Gurls (Barletta Remix)
Barletta is not fucking around, as the track jumps right into to first verse. Of all the remixes though, this track keeps the track for the most part intact, making it the most singalongable. The Smokey Sample also at the 1:20 mark is a nice little touch too for all the Friday fans.
5) California Gurls (DallasK Remix)
To me, this was the weakest of the remixes. The levels seemed off. It has the right idea, but to me the vocals are much higher than the instrumental, which seems to drown out the track. Katy comes in at 1:48 to a stripped-down beat, providing a nice effect, but like I said, I need that beat higher.
California Gurls (HYPER CRUSH Remix)
HYPER CRUSH are the Kobe Bryants of Electro. Consistent and Intense.
Like what I did there?
1) California Gurls (HYPER CRUSH Remix) -Katy Perry
Another morning, and another banger in my inbox from HYPER CRUSH. Seriously, when you’re friends with these guys, every day is Christmas. I gave it a listen, and again it’s everything you’ve come to expect from these guys and more. The seamless infusion of their own lyrical prowess, and of course they are able to ratchet the intensity of the track to 11 like nobody in the game can do. Download it.
HYPER CRUSH Feat DIPLO!!! AYO!
I went suuuuuper-hard last night. So you can imagine my utter disbelief when I get woken up from a vibrating cell-phone just now, and I have an e-mail in my inbox from Hyper Crush. What?
Could it be? The same HyperCrush I listen to religiously? I mean shit, I brush my teeth while listening to “LaLaLa (Hyper Crush Remix)” So you can imagine my excitement. Then I read the e-mail and see that the new exclusive they sent me is produced by Diplo? I nutted all over my comforter.
1)Ayo (Prod by Diplo)-Hyper Crush
Hyper Crush I know you guys are going to read this so I’m just going to put this on the table…Diplo/Hyper Crush collabo EP? Just 3 or 4 tracks, please? I’m loving the production here. it’s everything you’d want from a Diplo track. super-dutchy, great sampling, and of course those signature Major-Lazer drums. Gotta love it. Hyper Crush brings their signature energy to the track, and the vocals/lyrics are tight all the way around. This is a banger.

Love the Fisheye-Lense, for some reason that’s what most of my nights feel like.
OVER (Hypercrush Remix)
To be honest, “Over” is not my favorite Drake song. People love it though, so obviously the man is doing something right.
This remix however is pretty fire.
1) Over (Hypercrush Remix)-Drake
Most people who post about Hypercrush laud them for infusing their lyrics into the songs seamlessly. To me, their production value is truly what stands out. Being able to extract certain facets of the original beat and build around them. Tie that in with the 8-Bit “Drizzy!” before Drake comes in, which kills me every time, and little details like that, and you have a wonderful track which expands on the original.
