Dive into Milk & Sugar/David Penn's Happy People remix pack feat. Kormak + more

Sydney-based producer Kormak is someone that's seemingly popping up on our radar more and more these days, slowly building himself a name as one of the country's go-to names for thick house rhythms and tech grooves, finding a strong audience in the UK and Europe - a far distance from his typical Sydney home. Over the last twelve months in particular, he's found himself a tidy home on forward-thinking electronic label Defected, joining names including house heavyweights Gorgon City (and more) and finding fans in everyone from Claptone to Marco Carola. I guess the general running theme here is that Kormak is killing it - and he's not slowing down.

Now, he's next venture is a remix of Milk & Sugar's collaboration with David Penn, Happy People, taking the summer-soaked house thumper and giving it his own signature touch as he joins Berlin's Nhan Solo and Melbourne disco-house newcomer Mell Hall, who together, create three renditions of the track that cover many of house music's most addictive and catchy grooves. Kormak's remix of the track spotlights the single's addictive vocal, stripping things back a touch and adding a relentless rhythm underneath the earworming vocal, as he - in his own words - takes a simple, yet effective approach to remixing the track. "I wanted to try a very simple version of it, something I can use in my sets for a later time slot," he says. "he vocals are very powerful, and I think they carry a lot of the weight on its own."
