When you fuse the very best in house music with a slice of funk and a timeless disco sample from KC & The Sunshine Band, it’s easy to see why Hard Rock Sofa’s “Arms Around Me” has had the likes of Hardwell, Alesso and Zane Lowe up in, erm, arms. But even the freshest summer sounds can be given a new lease of life if put into the right hands, and that’s exactly what Night Safari have done.
Retaining the underlying groove from the original and then taking things on an altogether deeper tip, Night Safari’s mix brings the energy of the big room and mixes it with the kind of stabbing synths that led the electro house movement back in the early noughties. When you consider that Night Safari is the brainchild of D. Ramirez and Bnann Infadel, it’s a bold statement that outlines the music policy of this industry-heavyweight studio partnership.
Taking a fresh, upfront approach to house music, Night Safari have been quietly bubbling under the surface for the last 12 months but with multiple releases on My Digital Enemy’s Zulu Records imprint, support from BBC Radio 1’s Danny Howard and a huge forthcoming release on Armada with James Newman, you can be sure that you’ll be hearing a lot more too in the not too distant future…
