When artists like Flume and Disclosure come together, we must all pay attention. This weekend the UK duo have released a remix of a recent Flume track called "Never Be Like You" featuring the voice of Kai, a vocalist from Toronto. The actual remix is nothing earth shattering, but it is a fun tech house remake that will certainly find its way into many live sets for the next several months. Listen to the full remix below.
Seb Wheeler, the deputy digital editor at Mixmag, wrote a strong piece complaining about the increasingly formulaic nature of tech-house:
"And it’s not only niche snobs who are getting pissed off, but respectable, BBC-approved tastemakers, too. The other day, Annie Mac tweeted: “Aahhh jeez, everyone’s making droney house.” By that, we’re assuming she means the drab, uber formulaic four-to-the-floor built from over-polished percussion, mind-numbingly simple chord progressions and sappy basslines. It’s paint-by-numbers dance music and it’s coming for you."
