Sigala - Easy Love (Re-Edit)

"ABC is easy, it's like counting up to three, sing a simple melody, that's how easy love can be."

If these lyrics don't mean anything to you, there is a legitimate case to be made for you being born yesterday. For the rest of us more than two days old, it's obvious that Sigala is channeling the King of Pop's early days through sampling.

Easy Love has got to be one of the freshest and catchiest house tracks that I've heard using this sample, and I'm always a sucker for a well used Michael Jackson sample. Sigala has used a bit of looping, a bit of vocal slicing, and a lot of production talent to weave everything together in to a driving deep future piano house track with just enough vocal to make this one that you'll have trouble deciding if you want to dance or sing to more.... So just get on board and go with both.

It looks like this is set to be released on iTunes soon, but I haven't found a date yet. This link was provided to pre-order, but so far it only takes me to Sigala's discography on iTunes. In any case, keep a look out for the release of this one soon.

Ren Phillips x Michael Jackson - Remember The Time

This is a great deep future house remake of Michael Jackson's Remember the Time from Ren Phillips. The King of Pop's vocals remain quite intact for the most part, making this instantly recognizable. Ren Phillips makes his house production chops evident, working a deep bassline along with melodic keys around the vocal samples to make this a serious dancefloor shaking house track. 

Grab it for free through the shopping cart icon by following Ren Phillips on Soundcloud, and add this to your collection.

Endor - Kiss Me Baby

Endor has come out with a fitting release for the Valentines season, working off of a Michael Jackson vocal sample to bring this great house production. As with most of Endor's tracks, he has released this as a free download.

Kiss Me Baby works off a chopped up vocal taken from Michael Jackson's The Way You Make Me Feel, that is both recognizable but also tweaked enough to be very different from simply adding the vocal unchanged. Endor works his deep house and garage style around the vocal, and the result is spectacular. If you're looking for something fitting to work into a Valentines DJ set, this is the track you've been searching for.

Add it to your collection by hitting the download button on the player below, and check out Endor's Facebook page for tons more of his past work up for free download as well.  There are some real gems.
