With spending more than 20 years successfully in the music business already (and counting), German house legends MILK & SUGAR are still one solid rock in house music landscape. After we introduced them on Enormous Tunes with a funky remix for Sandy Dae's 'Losing Myself' back in January, we are now really proud to present their first full single. It goes by the name of HEAT (AFRICAN DAY) and we can assure you that this one will pump the blood back in your veins and raises your body temperature.
Pure summer feeling in March! The percussion driven and uplifting club track convinces also with a great vocal performance of NOMFUSI, famous South African actress and singer who sings about one hot day in Africa. Nomfusi is also known for her performance as Miriam Makeba in the Nelson Mandela movie called 'Long Walk To Freedom'. On the remix duty our in-house buddy CALIPPO contributes with a latin flavored club mix. He adds some smooth nylon guitar strums as well as a tremolo mandolin lick that supports the great vocals in the break downs before the mix takes off and drops with funky house beat patterns and a deep low-end bass line.
iTunes and spotify contain an exclusive remix by SANDY DAE who brings some fresh nu-disco vibes to the track by adding a super chunky bass line and smooth percussion add-ons that make her mix a perfect opener for any promising club night.

Summary
The beloved German house legends Milk & Sugar once again deliver an instant classic with haunting atmosphere, hypnotic tribal grooves and one of the strongest vocal hooks that we have checked out lately. With ethnic touches and cinematic atmosphere you simply want to let yourself get amazed from it. Calippo remix is mindblowing with old school basslines, chunky nu disco grooves and the brilliant breakdown with the unexpected balearic guitar riffs and the very strong party atmosphere. Lastly Sandy Dae goes even deeper, moodier with dark haunting basslines, lazy summer groove and cinematic strings that build the tension and inspire the listener to discover the deeper meanings of life. #PureGold Love it
