New Music: Walter Meego - "Girls" (Don Diablo Remix)

Download: Walter Meego - "Girls" (Don Diablo Remix)

Walter Meego's 2008 debut Voyager had a lot of pop-techno charms, not the least of which were Heineken beer approved Forever and disco anthem "Girls". It's the latter that gets the remix from techno deity Don Diablo, and it's pretty much as remix-y as you might expect. Diablo uses the hook of "Girls" as a jumping off point for some rad rave electronica. Listen to it at the top of the post.

New Kanye West - "Love Lockdown" (Young Son Remix)

Download: Kanye West - "Love Lockdown" (Young Son Remix)

Young Son is an emcee from the Twin Cities who, like many rappers in the Chicago area (like Rhymefest and Lupe Fiasco) peppers his rhymes with social commentary. Flow-wise, he skews closer to Lupe's Tribe Called Quest-isms, but lyrically, he deals with the day-to-day struggles, much like Rhymefest. Recently, he remixed Kanye West's new track "Love Lockdown", the heavily re-recorded first single from 'Ye's fourth album, supposedly titled 808s and Heartbreak. Listen to it at the top of the post.

Walter Meego's Heineken Commercial

Now, I realize this commercial is old hat, but I recently conducted an interview with Walter Meego's Justin Sconza for Chicago Innerview in which he admitted to me that he has not actually seen this commercial. Needless to say, I thought that was very interesting. So I'd thought I'd dig it up.

For a more recent Meego development, check out this remix of Voyager stand-out track "Keyhole".
