Mall Grab - Feel Good House (Craig Knight Remix)

Over the past few months I've called house not just my home, but the heart of electronic music. There may be no better example than this multilayered track from Craig Knight, a remix of Mall Grab's "Feel Good House." Sampling the same piece as one of my favourite tracks, Nero's "Must Be The Feeling," they both pay homage to "Time To Move" from Carmen. So from 1984 and electronic music's infancy to the familiarity of Nero in the electronic music explosion to Mall Grab's 2018 house recasting in electronic music's golden age. And with that comes the onslaught of endless remixes of today. But that's not all the intrigue with this track; it started out as a Mall Grab instrumental but was officially released under the name Young Romantic and "Move," and that's actually where the album artwork is taken from. So perhaps this mix ought to be labeled as a remix of "Move," but whatever you want to call it the allure is undeniable. Filter heavy, fun, funky and freeing, the blend of piano house and disco vibes make this version really pop. It's got the power of MK and the ease of french house with just the right amount of percussion interplay.

Post Malone - Congratulations (Goshfather x Aylen Remix)

Hey you! Yeah, you. You ever heard of this guy Post Malone? You know that White Iverson guy? Yeah, him. He's got a new track and it's the hottest shit on the planet. Oh you've heard it? A million times? Oh shit, my bad. Well what about a remix? Oh really? Dozens?! Damn, I'm sorry. But how about this one?First off apologies for being such a sardonic sack of you know what, but I just can't help myself when I've been bombarded with the same song for months and months. I'm sure that like me you've heard just about a bazillion remixes of "Congratulations," some good, some bad, but the one I came across this morning bests them all. Goshfather and Aylen leave just enough of the original intact to keep your attention while getting wicked in their recasting. I've written about Aylen several times here, particularly because of his awesome and evil sound design. Once again that salaciousness runs front and center as he and Goshfather fill the tune with a flurry of fire disco feels. It's dark and dirty, invoking delirium as those only familiar with the original struggle to breathe as stabbing strings suck up all the oxygen. Whether those jabs are actually from Nero's "Must Be The Feeling" or recreated, I'm always happy to have some hard hitting and bad-ass bass to go with a groove that guarantees flying footwork. Even if we've hit peak "Congratulations," I'm happy to have this remix. Get it for yourself free here.
