Sommeron (feat. imugi 이무기) - Satin Jackets Remix & Pleasure Centre Remixed by Kraak & Smaak

Electro funk royalty Kraak & Smaak have been world leaders in their field since bursting on to the scene back in 2006. Since then, the EBBA winners have been prolific. Six albums (excluding remix albums!), support from Pete Tong and Annie Nightingale, guest mixes on BBC Radio 1, gigs at SXSW, Coachella, Glastonbury, Bonnaroo and tours with Faithless followed as just some of the vast career highlights as the trio go from strength to strength to strength.
Sommeron is taken from their most recent album Pleasure Centre and features a vocal collab with New-Zealand's rising stars imugi 이무기. One of the more downtempo tracks from the album, a tight groove and a lush chord progression carries the track through with a sound that takes from the pallets of US folk, yacht rock, dream pop and indie. The bedroom pop style vocals glide over the track effortlessly, broken up with smooth and sumptuous brass licks and even a rap verse thrown in for good measure. A track with a real summery feel and perfect for rooftop and lounge parties. And that’s before the remix from Nu Disco revelation Satin Jackets.
Satin Jackets puts his feel-good indie dance stamp on this track bringing it in to a world of infectious summer house. As a regular charter on Hype Machine, the talented multi-instrumentalist has been making a name for himself for over fifteen years. He brings his four-to-the-floor tropical style grooves to the record, a sound that has won him fans in the form of Majestic Casual, Clash Magazine, and i-D mag in recent times and tours that have spanned across the globe in the US, Canada, Mexico and Asia.

This remix brings this already uplifting and playful record to new realms. Smooth disco and diva funk combined with these delicious indie-pop vocals are a wonderful combination and with two artists with near 100 million streams on Spotify between them, it is a track that will undoubtedly become an instant hit before growing exponentially across the summer time.

Dutch dance aficionados - Kraak & Smaak’s sixth studio album ‘Pleasure Centre’ was their first to be released on their very own Boogie Angst imprint, and as anyone has already heard it will testify – it’s a glorious affair of dancefloor aesthetics, downtempo, pop and electronica.

And now we have the first installment of reworks (with more to come in a full remix album later this year), first up LA based producer Turbotito takes on the album title track ‘Pleasure Centre’ and flips it’s downtempo eastern vibes into an acid house and disco infused beat.
