Festival season is just around the corner. Ultra, Electric Forest, Okeechobee and more have announced their lineups and the countdown has begun. Every year there are always tracks that will become festival anthems played by DJ after DJ and German duo, Plastik Funk’s newest release, “Tight” with Strobe & Lazn feat. Sapele just may be one of them.
Rafael Ximenez-Carrilo and Mikio Gruschinske make up Plastik Funk and although they each started out in different areas of music, Rafael with hip hop and Mikio with techno from the early nineties, they wanted to switch it up and create something that was truly house.
We both fell in love with house after hearing sets from people like Frankie Knuckles or Tony Humphries. As the music always evolves, also our sound changed over the years. But now we are happy to be back to where it all started.
This energetic track released today, February 22nd, on Flamingo Recordings and available on Beatport mixes deep bass, house and techno vibes with smooth vocals from Sweden native Sapele, while keeping an up-beat tempo to keep you dancing. Plastik Funk goes on to say:
We think this tune can give the listeners a good and happy feeling, wanting you to shake your booty on the dance floor. Our aim is always to make people have a good time when they hear our music or see us play in the clubs…
I asked the two where they got their inspiration from when creating music. With so many amazing artists and styles I was curious to know how they separated their sound from others.
We listen to a lot of music out of our box, so inspiration comes from all kind of artists and music styles. Also when we travel and listen to the DJs from all over the world, it inspires us in doing something maybe in a little different way. If you’re asking for a particular artist… well, we would reply with Quincy Jones.
This track might even sound familiar, “Tight” has been featured in Radio Shows and sets by names such as Martin Garrix, Don Diablo, Gregor Salto and more. With house heavy lineups making their appearance this year Plastik Funk’s release is perfect timing.
