While we’re all still trying to get over the surprise of Kendrick Lamar’s unheralded new album untitled unmastered, house veteran Tommie Sunshine has wasted no time in lighting up the 8th track alongside Melbourne producer Mitch Kurz. There was no warning of this edit coming so soon, and no way to prepare yourself for the insane groove that is about to take over when it hits you. While the original was a guaranteed head-bopper with the rapper’s slick lyricism, the pair come together to finesse this into a whole body experience you’re going to want to spin again and again. EDIT: And just as quick as it surfaced, it’s now been taken down…
That’s opened up a hunger for funk that won’t be easily satiated, so fortunately we’ve got some new fire from Pomo to follow and do just that. Where the grandeur of ‘Midnight River’ primarily rested on the power of Vaults’ vocals, the remix shares that workload with the Canadian producer’s signature vibes and an incredible demonstration of unapologetic chord slaying.
We’re continuing the funky fun with an infectious jam from a beat-maker hailing from New Zealand who’s putting out some fresh tunes at an insane rate. ANKA is celebrating hitting 2K followers in style, throwing up this nostalgic track that will have all the nineties kids smiling when they hear that sample. It’s no gimmick song though, with the melodies employed wielding some serious polish. It’s that same mix of shameless playfulness combined with mind-blowing musical artistry that is the highlight of Maxo’s work, and he puts that on display once again with a glorious remix of ‘We’re Beautiful’. It’ll take the coldest heart to resist instantly melting under the colorful bursts of joy that spark from each moment of this melodic masterpiece.
And that’s only scratching the surface of what else is in store. We’ll let you unwrap the rest for yourselves. Peace out.
Simone’
