The Knocks and Mat Zo

Today I have groovier music for you. These songs have a little bit more of a funky sound that you would think of regarding 80's music. This first song is a remix of a song by The 1975 by the incredible electronic artist, The Knocks. Not only is this originally a rather upbeat song by The 1975, but The Knocks really gives this a notch up. I really like this remix because it keeps with the original grooviness of the original song. The Knocks don't try and kind of cut out the main melody of the original song and they actually do a phenomenal job of making sure that enough of the song is present in this remix. This is a happier and more energetic and bubblier version of the original song, but it still has that 80's feel to it which I love. Today's instrumental song is by Mat Zo. I know I have not posted a lot of music by him which is an absolute shame considering how incredible and talented this guy is. This song again is nice and funky. Mat Zo is a god at making those older 80's sounds feel fresh and different with the modern electronic work. I think Mat Zo is simply amazing at making this kind of music feel so smooth and sound like old house music. Mat Zo really channels Daft Punk in this song and does a fantastic job that I put this song on par with the music created by the Robots. I hope you enjoy the music and please feel free to comment!
