Shape of You (Veck Remix) – Ed Sheeran

While the original “Shape of You” is borderline overplayed at this point, Veck’s remix of the track adds new life and energy to it in a huge way. Bringing in a summertime trop house vibe, Veck does an incredible job of complementing the vocals with synths that push it forward, without detracting from Ed Sheeran’s pipes. A smooth base line with an excellent drum rhythm earns this remix a spot on your poolside mix. Expect big things from Veck in the future.

Heavy (Nicky Romero Remix) – Linkin Park ft. Kiiara

To answer your first question: yes, Linkin Park is still around making music. While the style now is vastly different from the early 2000s (borderline unrecognizable as the same band in my opinion), it’s not unusual for styles to change over time.

This Nicky Romero remix adds a layer to the original track that makes it lighter, yet stronger. His additions aren’t over the top however, which allows to the focus to remain on the vocals and lyrics which is really the driving force behind this song. Heavy could’ve done well with a Mike Shinoda verse as well, but maybe they’re saving that for a later edit.

So go ahead and throw this on and reminisce on those middle and high school years when everyone jammed out to emo music (you’re lying if you say you didn’t).
