I wanna take you higher

It's been a little while since I've posted some straight-up, no frills dance music, so without any further ado I present to you AC Slater's new track "Take You" featuring Brooklyn's favorite hipster rappers Ninjasonik.  This is AC Slater's first release on Trouble & Bass, a Brooklyn-based label known for putting out superb, banging dance tracks from artists like Drop the Lime, Acid Jacks, and Boy 8-Bit.  The track has a great house vibe thanks to the piano stabs and vocal loops, but the rapping, b-more style beat, and huge bass keep it sounding modern.  Trouble & Bass also brought in a whole slew of diverse producers for some hot remixes that I like better than the original.  I really love Urchins' pared-down take on the track - it's a refreshing change of pace from the bouncing-off-the-walls feel of the original. Drop the Lime, on the other hand, offers a massive remix that maintains all the frantic energy that makes the original so good, but he adds a bit of tropical shuffle to it.  Finally, Tête-À-Tête's transforms the track into a silky disco-rave workout that strips most of the rapping (sorry Ninjasonik, I love you but this remix sounds better without you) and extends the "take you higher" loop.  All in all it's an amazing remix package that you can buy at Turntable Lab or download for free at Whitelabel if you're a Serato user.
