May: 6 disco releases you need to hear this month

Soul Clap feat Nona Hendryx 'Shine' (Hot Toddy remix) (Glitterbox Recordings)

Crazy P’s Hot Toddy (aka Chris Todd) once again takes things to the next level, with this remix of Soul Clap’s ‘Shine’. A big marimba presence underpins the whole track, giving it a tropical edge, but don’t be fooled into thinking this is merely fresh juice – it’s one seriously shaken-up cocktail. The remix maintains the energy yet still takes it somewhere seriously deep: Nona’s vocals are kept minimal as Todd introduces heavy gospel chords and increases the analogue presence on the bass. This might just be the big one to drop at your sunrise set.
