Wham Bam Peppermint Jam!
Get Ready for some "Funshine"!
We're thrilled to present Simkid & The S.O.S. with their latest soulful house gem, "Funshine" which is a perfect follow up to to the amazing debut on our label "Higher Ground".
Born out of a sweltering London summer, "Funshine" has a story as unique as its gets. Simkid was working on another project in his top-floor studio as the heat and exhaustion led him to create a more laid-back instrumental. A driving house beat from the Jomox Alpha Base drum machine set the foundation, while a soulful piano loop brought the track's signature tone, balancing perfectly between deep and soulful house. When The S.O.S. (aka Shaka) arrived, battling a cold on that hot day, his freestyle vocals gave the track an extra edge, with raw, nasal tones adding a distinctive flavor to the melody. You can feel the energy—pure, soulful, and infectious.
Adding to the original, we've got the one and only T. Markakis on remix duties. A master of deep and soulful house, T. Markakis took the vocals and transformed them into a smooth, groovy masterpiece. With his signature drum breaks and a bassline guaranteed to move you, his remix is a perfect extension of the original track's laid-back yet energetic vibe.
Stay tuned for more Peppermint Jam goodness—this one will keep the dancefloors warm as the nights get cooler!
