MAKO, “Way Back Home” (Two Friends remix)
The follow up to the long-lasting dance radio hit “Smoke-Filled Room” by LA-based duo Mako is “Way Back Home”, which in its original form is a lovely, slow-ish progressive/alternative EDM track that will crawl into your ears and stay there. These guys know how to write a great song, which makes it easy for any producer/remixer to adapt it to something suitable. It may seem unlikely, but Matt and Eli, aka Two Friends, turn “Way Back Home” into an effortless-sounding soulful deep house track with so much going on in its 3 minute rework. They’ve taken the yearning and desperation of the lyrics and made them equally urgent through bassy, buoyant rhythms. You can pick up the EP with the original, as well as the Two Friends remix and others, on iTunes. Ultra Music has another winner for Mako in whatever version you hear!
