SOFI TUKKER have released their Dancing On the People Remix EP today. The EP features remixes of beloved singles "Fantasy", "Swing", and their current hit "Purple Hat" by Dillon Francis, Tommie Sunshine & Disco Fries, Vini Vici & Whiteno1se, Bandi, KC Lights, Rocket Pengwin, and Dux n Bass.
SOFI TUKKER have gathered some of their favorite artists from around the world to reimagine their tracks for the EP. Israeli duo
Vini Vici turn "Swing" into a sensual psytrance odyssey. Bandi adds a restless energy to "Swing" and rebuilds the soundscape with wind instruments and fractured rhythms on the verge of going off the rails.
Dillon Francis turns up the bass for a body-rattling take on "Purple Hat" while Glasgow's KC Lights reworks it into an ecstatic techno opus. NYC's Rocket Pengwin covers "Fantasy" in a slick sheen that gives way to a thundering distorted synth bass. Dux N Bass from
Amsterdam take "Purple Hat" apart and sticks it back together with juggernaut breakbeats.
SOFI TUKKER have been broadcasting live DJ sets at 6pm BST / 7pm CET on their
Instagram and
Facebook channels to stay connected with their community of fans around the world. The improvisational nature of these sessions make each one singular as the group incorporates live samples, guitar, and vocals into the sets. The group has also shared a Spotify playlist with highlights from their daily sets. Follow it
