This friday, let me present you a DJ whose remixes are unquestionable for they are true gifts coming from his mind and very representative of an aesthetic: Shook.
If the Flight Facilities’s song Crave You encapsulates what we all should expect of a great piece, Shook embodies the art of remixing. He actually is the perfect answer I could give to those who question the legitimacy of a remix. I could not have found a better one. To me he is a true musician. He manages to add a strong bassline and amazing solos of keyboard to bring rhythm and funk to a song.
The best example is probably his remix ofEllie Goulding’s Lights. She has a great voice but the instrumental of the original song was so boring ! Now with Shook’s remix, we can appreciate her voice and the lyrics thanks to a great instrumental and it almost feels like this is the original song.

Much to our delight, he just released a new remix, I Got You (originally by Jodie Marie). The intro is like a bait: you start beating time while expecting the song to deliver. And there it comes at 0’30, a smooth and funky rhythm that will have you closing your eyes and shaking your head. And it's great because it has this funky factor characteristic of Shook’s works.
