NOW THAT’S WHAT I CALL YES MATE VOL. 1

Neon Gold’s favourite son Starsmith (née Fin Dow-Smith) has been tearing it up all year, from his flawless work with the magnificent Ellie Goulding to his consistently brilliant remixes for the likes of Marina & The Diamonds and Little Boots, and he’s straight up the best new pop producer in the game as far as we’re concerned. Thus, we’re thrilled to be premiering his debut minimix right here on Neon Gold, a five minute mash up of the biggest jams of the past, present and future. Check the tracklist below, get your download on and turn up your speakers – this exclusive beauty is here to rock your summer.

But perhaps even more exciting is Starsmith’s latest collaboration with Ms. Goulding, born from our persistent suggestions that they should cover our first ever release on Neon Gold, Passion Pit‘s instant blog classic “Sleepyhead”. Fin’s back at it again on production/remix duties and makes his vocal debut on backing vox, while Ellie takes it away on lead vocals and offers a beautiful take on Michael Angelakos’ masterful original. Her voice suits the track perfectly – especially her take on the spellbinding vocal sample that underlies the original – and Starsmith’s remix work is brilliant as always, so it should come as no surprise that the results are every bit as wonderful as you’d expect. Our gift to you. Enjoy.
