The latest from San Diego’s SH8K is a bass-heavy remix of Eric Prydz‘s 2004 house smash “Call On Me.” Aided by one of the more sensual music videos of the 2000s, the Steve Winwood-sampling song reached number one on the UK pop charts.

“I wasn’t quite sure how my style of bouncy house music and hip-hop was gonna translate into such a classic,” SH8K says. He adds, “It’s so much fun! and I think that came through in this remix!”

Preview the remix below and download it exclusively on DJcity.

Condo

Afro B has returned with a music video for his T-Pain-assisted party anthem, “Condo.” The track, which appears on his Afrowave 3 album, is the follow-up single to “Fine Wine & Hennessy” with Slim Jxmmi. The latter was one of DJcity’s most downloaded tracks of October.

The video features Afro and ‘Pain partying with a bunch of ladies (pre-social distancing) at what appears to be a mansion (so what if it’s not a condo?).

Watch above and download the track, along with the acapella and instrumental, on DJcity.
