Fennec & Wolf - Cocoon

We've been a bit slow this week for posts, so we're adding a couple posts today in advance of dropping the Friday Care Package.

First this awesome track from Fennec & Wolf called Cocoon. This one oozes house funk and groove from every bit of the track, from the percussion, to the bassline, to the vocals. It's a lesson in groove - literally. The vocal sample in this says all that needs to be said in this one. Cocoon is both laid back and driving, in what could be used as a very versatile house track, particularly over the summer in any number of sets and locations.

Stream Cocoon below, and pick it up as it is available on Beatport as part of the compilation Set In Stone from Incroyable Music.

Jaymes Young - I'll Be Good (Tom Bull Remix) [Atlantic Records]

Tom Bull's remix of Jaymes Young's I'll Be Good just dropped yesterday on Beatport, and it is a really great deep house take on the original's chilled acoustic folk style. The remix keeps a lot of the original lyrical quality while also giving it a distinct feel just by shifting where in each phrase the chorus starts. Where the original has a more laidback folk feel, the remix moves the lyrics forward with the percussion and bassline by bringing in the lyrics solidly on the first beat of the phrase, and the result is an overall tightening of the track fitting with the progression of a deep house track. Not to mention the bassline is very nicely implemented to have a really deep feel that is able to be both subtle and effective throughout.

This one just dropped on Atlantic Records, so make sure you head to Beatport and pick up your copy. If you can't get enough of Tom Bull's style in this one, another recommendation from a little while back is his remix of MNEK's The Rhythm (which is a free download).
