I always tend to feel a little gloomy at the beginning of each week, tired of the same old day-to-day routines. And nothing cheers me up as a tight, really danceable, remix like the one VIKING recently released. A really fresh bass line and Akons distinctive voice, obviously a winning concept as the remix already reached second on Hypemachine. I don’t know why, but somehow Akon always sounds a lot better remixed, and this is no exception. And when VIKING puts his personal touch on the song it triggers something inside me. An urge to dance away on crowded floors as the DJ spins this tune. But I’ll probably end up playing this song on repeat all night. Every single beat, every word, it all fells so damn… right.
And as if this wasn’t enough, there’s another really sweet remix of Kid Cudi’s Dat New New. A somewhat rougher approach with distorted bass and a neat synth sneaking up as the bass drops. Hope you enjoy this, I know I do!
