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.
