Ren Phillips - Infatuation

It's likely no surprise that we've been liking Ren Phillips' productions for a while, as we posted about his Michael Jackson remix a while back, as well as including tracks in both previous mixes and Friday Care Packages.

Ren was teasing a new release all of last week on his Facebook page that was going to be published on Monday, so we were already primed and ready to hear it, and unsurprisingly it did not disappoint. Reworking and vocal pitching Sisqo's "Got To Get It", this is a catchy future deep house and garage concoction that goes down nicely. The bassline on here really compliments both the percussion elements along with the chopped vocals, giving the track a great flow throughout.

Infatuation is out as a free download hosted by the crew over at Pack London, and they have a number of other great free downloads available through their Soundcloud page, so make sure to check them out.

Ren Phillips x Michael Jackson - Remember The Time

This is a great deep future house remake of Michael Jackson's Remember the Time from Ren Phillips. The King of Pop's vocals remain quite intact for the most part, making this instantly recognizable. Ren Phillips makes his house production chops evident, working a deep bassline along with melodic keys around the vocal samples to make this a serious dancefloor shaking house track.
