Oliver Heldens smash hit ‘Gecko' has accumulated over 700,000 plays on Soundcloud and peaked at #2 on the Beatport charts, solidifying its legitimacy as one of the most popular deep house tracks so far this year. As Oliver teases his vocal mix of the track with Becky Hill (‘Overdrive') the London based duo of established turntablists, Jack Beats have decided to put their own spin on the song. Jack Beats has recently turned their focus on the deeper side of UK house with tracks like ‘Beatbox' and 2012's ‘Just a Beat'. The legendary duo of Beni G and Plus One have proven that they are more than capable of pumping out bona fide deep house grooves as well as their signature fidget house sound.
Their take on ‘Gecko' is original and infectious. The deep bass and subtle percussion blend to make this a track that is impossible not to move too. The vocal samples and chord changes in the latter half of the song keep the jams going until the very end. This is exactly what remixing is all about. Taking an excellent track and giving it a totally unique and new feel that keeps the integrity of the original while adding in the vibe of the remixer. No official release date has been discussed yet but the track is available for listen on Soundcloud.
