MarkCutz Remixes Kanye West’s ‘Good Life’

Kanye West‘s 2007 hit “Good Life” has been given a bouncy remix by MarkCutz exclusively for DJcity.

“With this remix, I was really just trying to focus on making something that has that bounce,” Cutz says. “The drums are most important so I created that first with short but hard hitting 808’s and also toying with widening certain sounds to make it really feel bouncy. Once I finished the track, I looked for a song in key and Good Life by Kanye fit my beat perfectly.”

Preview MarkCutz’s “Good Life” remix below and download it exclusively on DJcity.
