Ticklish & Qnoe - Eau De Club EP

Just over a month ago I wrote about Ticklish and his take on Nelly's "Ride Wit Me." Going back even further to August I shared his collaborative mix of "International Players Anthem" with Qnoe. Well today, that duo has reunited to share 5 club friendly edits, including classics "Break Ya Neck," "Make It Rain," and a killer recast of Waka Flocka & "No Bystanders." Each of the tracks from the Eau De Club EP can be copped individually with free downloads from Hypeddit or purchased through Bandcamp.

While edit EPs aren't usually dependent on flow, using "Make It Rain" as the opening track is perfect. The horns welcome your ears like a royal entrance, setting the bouncy scene as the club is set to get wet, whether with the EP's title, rain or, more likely, sweat. The second track "Blue Fingers," a flip of Smokepurpp, shows Ticklish & Qnoe's range, while still imbuing a strong bounce and sway. Following that get-down is the biggest club shaker of the EP in "No Flames," where the dirtiness of "Hard In The Paint," Travis Scott, Juice WRLD, and Sheck Wes combine in epic fashion. As if that weren't trippy enough, the following track "Break Ya Neck," of course a spin on Busta Rhymes, will leave your mind bent, battered and bruised. There's no beating the original hook, but hearing it freaked out in this fashion is absolutely wild. Finally, Eau De Club concludes with Big Sean's "Pull Up N Wreck" playing out like the closing credits to an 80s film. Supremely smooth, this new backing beat actually fits Sean's slick vocals incredibly well. And really, that's what makes this EP such a stunner; Ticklish and Qnoe have a knack for both building and playing with beats, giving tracks a new life with their Frankenstein-esque combinations.

UGK ft. OutKast - International Players Anthem (Ticklish & Qnoe Remix)

Last month I stumbled upon Berlin bootleg boss Ticklish. It was one of those magic moments where one great track led to another. I enjoyed each more than the last, so much so that I included him as one of my picks in FUXWITHIT's monthly feature called "Focus Five." Read that specific addition here.

Today marks Ticklish's first release since said feature. Teaming up with fellow German Qnoe, he brought his trademark touch to the classic 2007 crunk cut "International Players Anthem." The duo have pinpointed the Willie Hutch sample of "I Choose You" bringing it to the fore, letting its majesty lead though additional trap inspired percussion. The extra oomph and back beat groove replace much of OutKast's lyrics, letting the horns swing you back and forth as though reclining on a hammock. Perfect for the dog days of summer, let its waves wash over you with free download via The Artist Union.FOLLOW TICKLISH: FACEBOOK SOUNDCLOUD TWITTER
