Arema Arega - Natural Jazz (Black Wolf Remix)

Over the weekend, Australia's Black Wolf offered up an awesome remix of Arema Arega's 2016 track "Natural Jazz." Working with the powerful production that features groovy drums and tremendous trumpet work, Black Wolf has leveraged both and upped the tempo bringing a more energetic toe-tapping feel to the already engrossing original. Of course this more electronic version has extra oomph and club qualities, but it is still the organic elements that make "Natural Jazz" such a sensation. While the piano doesn't quite dominate either the original or the remix, it plays an important role in the second half of this mix as the chords further tap into the utterly infectious dance groove at the core of Black Wolf's recasting. If you find yourself falling for this groove genius, you can get it for free here.FOLLOW BLACK WOLF: FACEBOOK SOUNDCLOUD TWITTER
