Born from the concrete slabs of New York City, garage wasn't just a pillar of 1990s American rave, but a celebrated sound that quickly jumped over to the pond in the UK, resulting in a straight up worldwide phenomena that's still a major creative driving force today.Bontan, a UK-based DJ and producer known for crafting killer house tracks, has honored his forefathers by slapping a club-ready remix of one of NY garage's most celebrated tracks, the Victor Simonelli-produced "Do You Feel Me." A landmark tune for the genre, it was first released in 1993 under the name NY's Finest.
The original track, produced by Brooklyn-born Simonelli, was released on on the Bassline Records, a label the artist kicked off in the UK during his early days as a touring DJ abroad. Now more than a decade later, his release is given new life courtesy of one of the UK's most iconic house labels—Mark Knight's Toolroom.Along with reworks by Gerd, and Dosem, Bontan's mix injects a powerful groove into "Do You Feel Me," holding on to a bit of original's New York-tinged DNA, while making room for a a new edge.Bontan is on Facebook // Soundcloud
