THROTTLE, “Hit The Road Jack” (Cazztek remix)
It’s been hovering under the radar for a few months but Aussie producer/DJ Throttle’s electro-swing cover of Ray Charles’ classic “Hit The Road Jack” gets a playful spin from new and mysterious producer Cazztek (very little available online about this remixer!). While Throttle’s original mix focused on the mighty soulful uncredited vocal by American singer Jordan Landers, Cazztek’s remix takes Throttle’s eagerness to entertain sideways with a contemporary bounce and a drop/break that sounds like it could have been borrowed from a Ray Charles concert album, which gives it a reverent old school vibe. Too good for club DJ’s to pass by, Cazztek’s remix could allow the song to get more notice worldwide. Listen at the link above but you may find that subconscious boogieing takes over 🙂
