Usher – Nice And Slow (WMNSTUDIES Remix)
Vancouver-based duo WMNSTUDIES are known for transforming sultry R/B tracks into dance floor anthems. Their latest creation, a rework of Usher’s ‘Nice and Slow’, is no different. It takes you back to a time when Usher wasn’t involved in reality television programs hosted by Carson Daly, and what a glorious time that was.

TINK- WHEN I’M LIT (THE GTW REWORK)
Chicago producer GTW, real name James King, transforms a decent track from rapper Tink into a wondrous assortment of tribal beats and subtle house undertones coated in a rich r/b aesthetic.

The scary this is, Miguel looks good with his shirt off too.

Party Omo – Wus Good / Curious
“Wus Good / Curious” is so densely layered that it constantly keeps you coming back for more. It starts off like any good make-out session, slow and sweet, and quickly turns into something unexpected, yet completely warranted by the end.
Party Omo remains relatively anonymous on the interweb, but there is a cryptic Pinterest account as well as Twitter handle with over 3,000 followers and only four tweets. Now that’s swag.
There’s rumours that Party Omo is fucking with the OVO gang, which seems like a pretty good fit if you consider his/her sound, marketing tactics, and anonymous persona, (ie. the Weeknd circa 2010). Keep your eyes out for more information, as we’re expecting big things from Party Omo in the coming months.

KURT – Texas Slow (Official Video)
Kurt Rockmore, who goes by KURT professionally, is an example of an artist I’d love to hang-out with. He recently emailed Winnie Cooper with “Humble Approach” as the subject line, even though he’s opened for such acts as J.Cole, Ryan Leslie, Yo Gotti, Iggy Azeala, Joey Badass, and Action Bronson.
His latest project – entitled Red Carpet Ignorance - was written entirely by KURT and features Bun B on the track Don’t Need ‘Em. He fuses hip-hop with R/B to create something that is lyrically honest but still worthy of mainstream attention. KURT is not only a talented artist, but from what I can tell via URL, he’s a pretty stand-up dude too. For more information on KURT, check out his website for Red Carpet Ignorance.

CONTEST: KASTLE & KAYTRANADA TICKETS
May Long Weekend is fast approaching us, and what better way to spend your guilt-free Sunday night than at Fortune Sound Club with two rising musical stars.
After a mesmerizing show at Fortune Sound Club last January, electronic-artist Kastle will be returning to Vancouver with Montreal-based sensation Kaytranada on May 19. Kastle’s forward-thinking music results from his long-time love of hip-hop and R&B, fused with the magnetizing effect that garage, house, dubstep and bass-heavy music has had on him. Kastle’s unique fusions will fit nicely with Kaytranada’s modern take on the luscious sounds of 90′s r/b.
This night will also feature performances by local acts 8PRN and Blue Version. While early bird tickets are sold-out, advanced tickets can still be purchased online or in-person at Zulu, Red Cat, Highlife, and Beatstreet recrods.
For a chance to win a pair of tickets, email winnieguestlist(@)gmail.com with your name by Friday, May 17th at 5:00pm. You must be attending the Facebook event page and ‘like‘ Winnie Cooper on Facebook to qualify. 19+ only. Please Use “Long Weekend Contest” as the subject line.

Ciara – Body Party (WMNSTUDIES Remix)
While I’ll be the first to admit that “Goodies” is Ciara’s best track of all time, Vancouver-based duo WMNSTUDIES give her latest single, “Body Part”, a run for it’s money. These boys are well on their way to having a breakout year in 2013. Check it out below.
