Like previous Solar Lion tracks we've featured on Dezeen Music Project, Lift it Up is a fusion of different genres, with modern US dubstep sounds underpinned by the prominent upbeat of a more old-school dub rhythm.

Dezeen Music Project: Cherryade (remix) by Monster Bobby
We've got another remix for you today on Dezeen Music Project, this time courtesy of UK-based DJ Monster Bobby, who's reworked a dreamy shoegazing track by London band Gum.
The remix builds on the original track's reverb-drenched vocals, but breaks up the wall of post-punk distorted guitars underneath to end up with a track that's lush, ethereal as well as a little bit glitchy.
You can listen to the original track here too.
