Here’s a collection of stuff from the inbox over the past couple days. Excuse the quick descriptions but it’s May (read: essay hell).

Both Gorillaz and Don Diablo has been mentioned on these pages before so it seems fitting that they should be here together. The Dutchman has stepped up to remix the Gorillaz new single and gives the track a new leash of life with a rolling drum track and a pulsating synthy bassline. Watch him live here.

Now normally it would be a matter of principle that any song featuring Akon wouldn’t get a mention here but we are big fans of Jakwob so I guess that balances it out. Anyway, One Day will undoubtedly be a chart smash but here’s a dubstep remix.

Matisyahu – One Day (Jakwob remix)

Penguin Prison’s The Worse It Gets got covered here recently and now Shook has stepped up and delivered possibly my favourite remix. This house version builds on the originals piano-based topline, puts in a funky synth at the bottom and adds a bit of a guitar solo too. What more could you ask for really?
