All you 90s babies might know MK best through Pitbull’s “Hotel Room.” There’s a whole lot more to the storied US house producers career, though. Underground Classics 1 serves as a proper jumping off point to get into the remix work that MK cut his teeth with. With the four cuts here you can already get a feeling for that signature MK sound. Although it may be best embodied in his legendary remix of Nightcrawler’s “Push The Feeling On,” there’s no doubt that the remixes featured on Underground Classics 1 will do more than get the job done. MK touches everyone from Jodeci to Bette Midler(!) and brings them all closer to peak time on the dancefloor.
