[House] The Knocks – Classic (Pat Lok ShyMix)

Posted by Matthew Bloss - May 14, 2015

The Knocks
Classic (Pat Lok Shymix)

Vancouverite Pat Lok‘s name has been getting more graciously thrown around the TMN offices as of late. Behind a stellar debut with one of our most looked-to tastemaking dance labels Love & Other Records, “All In My Head”, a phenomenal flip of Gold Fields’ “Hold Me”, and general output of sterling remixes over the years, the house dispensing Canuck has quickly become a scorching commodity within numerous corners of niche dance production. With Lok’s latest rework, he’s taken on another TMN favorite: NYC’s The Knocks and their infectious dance-pop hit “Classic”. Lok maintains the Summery integrity of the original, but pulls those unmistakable vocals away from the Beach and into the club with myriad deep synths and classic Chicago house grand piano stabs to instill an utterly unique groove within the original.

Don’t miss Pat Lok on tour this summer, starting May 30 in Denver, Colorado (be on the lookout for a giveaway on that one) and check out his full run of dates below.

Pat Lok US Tour Dates:

5/30 – Denver, CO @ Club Vinyl (w/ Hotel Garuda)

[Chill/Dance] Fatboy Slim – Mad Flava (Autograf Remix)

Fatboy Slim
Mad Flava (Autograf Remix)

Buy

As Autograf has shifted more steadily out of the underground and into mainstream consciousness, so too has the way in which one of our favorite groove-heavy acts are able to craft melodies. The latest from Autograf sees the trio riffing on one of dance music’s original wisemen, Fatboy Slim, and his classic single “Mad Flava”. As part of Fatboy Slim’s re-release for platinum selling album Halfway Between The Gutter And The Stars, the Autograf boys have been tapped to offer their uniquely flavored dance groove, and have delivered another stellar piece to a constantly expanding palate. Rather than take the easy way out by sprinkling in a four-four kick and painting on a deeper, analog bassline as so many contemporary dance acts are wont to do these days, Autograf takes a much more fluid approach for their rework. Throughout its first half, Autograf toys with the original’s vocal chops, and breakbeat influenced two-step drums topped with an extremely danceable topline before unloading perhaps one of the most distinct and powerful basslines we’ve heard in any music genre this year. This one has us feeling somewhere between the House club and Hip-Hop dancefloor; which is one of the most welcome feelings we’ve had in quite some time. About the remix opportunity, Autograf told us: “We’re huge fans of breaks so when one of the legends hit us up for a remix, we were super honored. Here’s our break beat tribute to one of the pioneers..” while Fatboy kept his side a bit more ambiguous, stating: “Autograf got the finesse, they got the funk, they got the flava. The three F’s right there…” They certainly do. Check out Autograf’s “Mad Flava” remix above, and if you missed their last remix for Alesso’s “Cool”, do your ears a favor and listen here.

Ghost Loft – The Otherside (HVNS Remix) [TMN PREMIERE]

GHOST LOFT
The Otherside (HVNS Remix)

Soundcloud

Koreatown’s GHOST LOFT will soon be releasing a new EP, Chocolate Haze, next month. On that EP is a single called “The Otherside,” which has gotten a musical makeover from the Japanese producer HVNS. The Music Ninja is premiering the single to you today as a pre-release treat to sink your ears into.

HVNS, who is also one-half of CLVBS, brought forth a smashing future flip of “The Otherside.” You’d be surprised the guy who made this has less than 2,000 Facebook fans and less than 5,000 Soundcloud followers. Let’s just say, if Flume released this, it would have blown up in an instant.

Instead, it’s a gem that holds a similar qualitative standard to work from the top tier producers of this sound like the aforementioned ARIA award winner. HVNS has quickly jumped on our radar as someone to keep our eyes on after hearing what he did to the GHOST LOFT original. In rummaging through his Soundcloud – this dude has got mad talent.

Keep an eye out for Chocolate Haze in June, which will not only feature “The Otherside,” but “Overflow,” “The Rolling Man,” and “Phonograph,” as well.

Melvv, the Milwaukee youngster, has released his own remix of “Midnight Moon,” the hit single by Oh Wonder. Another hit has been created with this flip, whose future sound has already received a ton of love on Soundcloud and Hypem from listeners. “Midnight Moon” was just asking for a smooth makeover like this one, but any expectation that could have been had would have been far exceeded by Melvv. Every track this kid puts out is truly amazing, and this is up there as one of his best productions. It’s a flawless remix that will play with your feels even after you’ve already listened to it one hundred times over. Have a listen, have your soul soothed, and make sure to follow Melvv on Soundcloud if you don’t already.

Kid Ink feat. DeJ Loaf
Be Real (Mike Gao Remix)

Download

Mike Gao just dropped a very forward thinking Edit of Kid Ink and Dej Loaf‘s track “Be Real”. Gao reworks the original melody into a weird yet captivating track transforming “Be Real” into an absolute banger, while sprinkling some very sexy synth work through out. The drum work resembles that of Sam Gellaitry or Mr. Carmack, which makes perfect sense being as Mike is signed to HW&W and Alpha Pup. Best of all this glorious track is FREE above. Cheers.

Who doesn’t love some Hunter Siegel? The sad Canadian shouldn’t be sad with the response he’s received on his official remix of “The Night,” the collaboration between 3LAU and Nom De Strip.

Your body will be dancing away, and your worries will be no more. Hunter dropped one fun, and free record on us this week, so take it into the weekend and get your party on.
