SpekrFreks, the San Franciscan duo known for their unique blend of house music with glitch hop and 1920s swing, have put their own spin on Melleefresh and Billy Newton-Davis’ hit track “Candy” in their new remix release via Play Records.
Having been in the vault for 13 years, SpekrFreks bring new life to the classic tune, originally released in 2010. The track presents a captivating soundscape from the very beginning, with eerie synth lines and electrifying elements that blend perfectly with the hard-hitting beat.
The remix starts with airy pads and electronic textures over a punching beat that sets the mood before the filtered vocals kick in. While the vocals stay true to the original, SpekrFreks’ production adds a new dimension to the track with growling basslines and a strong dubstep influence.
The production quality is top-notch, and the sonic elements make for a mesmerising listening experience. The track is an undeniable party anthem, maintaining a fresh vibe while showcasing SpekrFreks’ special sound and style. Their take on “Candy” is a revisit to an unbeatable collaboration between the three artists, and the remix certainly does justice to the original while offering a pure and refreshing dubstep production.
As an iconic duo, SpekrFreks continue to display their unique sound in the electronic music world, and this latest release is no exception. Their swing tech approach, blending the vintage sounds of the past with modern electronic music, sets them apart from other artists in the genre.
The release of “Candy (SpekrFreks remix)” also serves as a reminder of the success of Play Records, who continue to cement their position as one of the most established labels in the electronic music world. With their release schedule promising upcoming new hits, there’s plenty to look forward to from this respected imprint. Overall, this remix release is a must-listen for fans of electronic music and a great addition to any party-focused playlist.
