With some DJs getting paid 1M+ for shows and artists selling Afro-house to major labels for similar sums, it feels like we are staring into the abyss of another mass commercialisation of dance music. Thankfully, regardless of what is happening at the upper levels, the underground is alive with innovative talent. SMIFF is one such artist. Crafting his art in a post-dubstep, future techno world, he sounds like what would happen if Skream went back in time to grab Jeff Mills from his Purpose Maker era and showed him all the cool shit you can do with drums and samples in 2024. For this remix, he takes "Work" on a 135 bpm ride through swinging subs and razor-sharp rat-a-tats. If you are looking for dancefloor mayhem, step up; it's arrived.
