German house duo Milk & Sugar are continuing their 20th anniversary celebrations with the release of ‘Summertime’, the third single from their forthcoming LP – out via Milk & Sugar Recordings.
On Summertime, Milk & Sugar blend tribal percussive elements with soulful vocals, vibrant trumpet chords and a deep, funk-laded groove – the perfect soundtrack to the upcoming Ibiza season. Remixes from Berlin based Superlover and Begium’s Siege are also scheduled for release soon.
Milk & Sugar are Mike K and Steven Harding. They’re celebrating 20 years of creating some of the world’s most innovative house music, a catalogue that includes global hits like their all-time classic Let The Sun Shine, which reached No.1 in the US- Billboard Dance and Airplay charts. This special anniversary year was kicked off in style with their Beatport Top10 single ‘Higher & Higher’, followed by their recent compilation album release Legends of House, reaching No.1 in Beatport’s Electronic Album Charts.
Up next their 20th Anniversary album will be a collection of brand new songs accompanied by fresh interpretations of some of their greatest tracks from the two decades.
“We can’t believe we’ve been doing this for 20 years. It only feels like we started yesterday.” says the duo. “It’s going to be a big year for us, with some very special releases and ‘Summertime’ offers the perfect insight into our forthcoming album out in the summer.”

[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]When it comes to house music, the German duo Milk & Sugar is a voice that you can trust to give you good times. Their track Summertime includes all the right and exact ingredients to become the absolute hit for this summer. Soulful male vocal combined with chunky grooves, funky basslines, guitar licks and trumpet riffs. The result is classy, smooth, sexy and absolutely irresistible. On the excellent original if you add two new silky versions you get an instant classic. Superlover remix provides rolling pumping grooves, deep basslines with funky guitar licks, great application of the male vocal and atmosphere that is warm and sunny without doubts. Siege version continues on the deep house sound with more upfront bouncy grooves, fat yummy basslines, less application of the vocal with additional party like voices and overall more eclectic underground reshuffling of the original. It's your summer hit guaranteed. #PureGold Love IT [/content]
