Swingers & Maximo - She Don't Lie (ft. Jenny Voss)

Soundcloud's The Upload playlist keeps turning me onto remixes/covers/edits of classic tracks. The latest such offering sees San Diego's Swingers and Maximo team up for a crisp tech house take on J.J. Cale's all-timer "Cocaine."

Even in this quantized, rolling house version, there's no mistaking the slick riffs or timeless lyrics made popular by Eric Clapton. Stepping in for Slowhand (at least vocally) Jenny Voss rides the ever swelling waves of Swingers and Maximo masterfully, delivering a more forceful and dynamic vocal than either Cale or Clapton. And of course this works perfectly in the new club vibe, both to tip off listeners that this is indeed a version of the track their dads always play and to encourage the crowd to sing along. Get in on the tech house take of "Cocaine" with the Bangers Only release of "She Don't Lie" below.
