HoneyLuv and Seth Troxler have released MK’s official remix of ‘Sex & The City’.
Sampling Chicago house icon Paul Johnson’s 1998 ‘So Much’, ‘Sex & The City’ oozes with the old-school rhythms and new-school flow that have bonded HoneyLuv and Seth Troxler. With his remix, MK looks to highlight the classic tones of the original while adding his own Detroit flavor. An irresistible arrangement of groovy basslines, shiny synth stabs and crisp drum patterns, the house superstar has delivered an enticing remix that will leave listeners in anticipation of HoneyLuv and Seth Troxler’s forthcoming collaboration.
Regarding the collaboration, HoneyLuv said, “To even be in the same room with Seth is an honor but to collaborate with him on a track is a dream come true. Seth has been one of many of my inspirations during this journey of mine. This song is definitely the essence of what house music is and what the future will be and I’m so happy Seth was able to help create that with me”.
As an essential figure in the next generation of Black dance music, HoneyLuv has balanced honoring the roots of house music while bringing a fresh perspective to the scene. These qualities not only garnered a nod from two of house music’s most iconic tastemakers, but also made her the perfect artist to relaunch Tuskegee Music. Founded in 2014 by Seth Troxler and The Martinez Brothers, the label served as a platform to elevate the voices of BIPOC talent. Before its hiatus in 2019, Tuskegee Music featured artists including Omar-S, Jamal Moss, K’ Alexi Shelby, D-Knox and William Djoko, in addition to its label heads.
On the return of Tuskegee Music, Seth Troxler said, “Tuskegee was founded in 2014 when The Martinez Brothers and I realized that there was not enough representation in dance music of our communities.
Being from Detroit and NYC, two scenes that birthed this culture, and made predominantly for people of Black and Latino backgrounds; we felt it was our duty to launch a platform to inspire a new generation of minority house music musicians, and show these new artists that dance music was a possible path for them. The label also served as an outlet for the overlooked originals and legends, the foundation builders of the scene.
During the pandemic we took a hiatus. And now we felt that it was again time to relaunch the label, with a new impetus and focus on young, new and emerging artists of color and to empower the next generation.”
This year, HoneyLuv released her collaborative single ‘Inside My Mind’ with house heavyweight Harry Romero and continues to dominate clubs and festival stages around the globe. MK’s ‘Sex & The City’ remix arrives ahead of HoneyLuv’s upcoming headline performances in San Francisco and Los Angeles, and return to Coachella at this year’s Heineken House.
