Glen Check – I’ve Got This Feeling (Kartell Remix)

Kartell brings the funk yet again with his throwback remix of Glen Check’s I’ve Got This Feeling. From one of our favorite labels Roche Musique, Kartell is definitely an important international artist to study up on. If you’re feeling the French House vibe, make your way through the Parisian crew’s first compilation .Wave.

Tuxedo – Without Your Love

Damn. This song sounds like something you would hear on one of those old Soul Train YouTube videos. When looking for more information about this 1980’s-influenced funk band, I was honestly surprised to discover Tuxedo’s members are no other than Jake One (Jake Dutton) and Mayer Hawthorne (Andrew Cohen). Their authentic old school funk distinguishes them from the rest of the nu disco pack, a fact the two powerhouse producers discovered for themselves shortly after exchanging mix tapes. Just now finding time for a pause from their highly successful individual careers, the guys from Tuxedo are joining the recent disco revival in a huge way. Tuxedo’s silky vibe is a bonafide throwback, so play on the duo’s new single Without Your Love if you’re really trying to groove. Bonus if you know the lyrics to Number One off the duo’s debut 2015 album Tuxedo.
