After the success of Paul Oakenfold’s recent Future House Remix of “You Could Be Happy” (played on Pete Tong’s BBC Radio 1 Essential selection four weeks in a row) and the monster original release “Only Child” from DedRekoning feat Sophie Ellis-Bextor in 2014, it seemed only right that we bring you a special package of mixes with a completely summer vibe.
Paul’s Deep Down mix is a late afternoon Ibiza terrace take that puts a deep house spin on the original while hot house producer Supacooks gives a slightly more progressive interpretation.
A special ‘acoustic mix’ by DedRekoning themselves brings this melodic medley to a most satisfactory conclusion.
Dimitri Kechagias review: The exceptional label Perfecto records present two magnificent additional remixes on the beloved classic Only Child by DedRekoning featuring the mesmerizing classy vocals by Sophie Ellis-Bextor. Label boss and legend Paul Oakenfold service the deep house version that includes great future house influences that will drive the club crowds crazy and will put fire on many festival arenas. Chunky techy grooves, 90's infused rave influences, garage house basslines, chopped vocal samples, superb synthy hooks and great ice on the cake Sophie's incredible performance of the very mysterious spiritual lyrics. Second fantastic remix by Supacooks who deliver a very groovy progressive house version with rolling basslines, deep bubbly grooves, synthy progression and even superb piano melody in the breakdown along with trumpet riffs and violins. The result is hypnotic, emotional and truly balearic perfect for hot summer sessions in the white Isle. Summer anthem guaranteed! #PureGold Love It
