Premiere: Kornél Kovács remixes ‘Varsovia Marimba’ with fluttering house

As Catz ‘n Dogz get set to launch a new ‘Friends Of Pets’ compilation on their Pets Recordings imprint, Mixmag reveals a dreamy textured house remix by Kornél Kovács of SLG’s ‘Varsovia Marimba’.

Throughout his career Kornél Kovács has mainly released his original material on Studio Barnhus, the label he co-founded with Axel Boman and Petter Nordkvist. That said, within the past few years he’s developed a reputation for being a sought after remixer, lending his talents to labels like R&S Records, Crosstown Rebels, Numbers., Rebirth and more. Now he graces Pets Recordings for the first time with his reimagining of ‘Varsovia Marimba’.

Staying true to the original’s melodic and rhythmic nature, Kovács leaves the core intact while adding increased energy and vocal chops that depict a yearning and emotive motif. It’s these subtle differences that allow the updated version of ‘Varsovia Marimba’ to deliver an irresistible groove.

Also found on the ‘Friends Of Pets’ compilation, which is set for release June 9 and celebrates Polish talent, are tracks by Catz ‘n Dogz, Marquis Hawkes, Earth Trax, The Analogue Roland Orchestra and more.
