Tapping deep into the heart of the project comes the debut King Street remix by legendary House Music team Frankie Knuckles and Eric Kupper, better known as Director’s Cut, who deliver, for lack of a better term, an absolute masterpiece on their Director’s Cut Treatment mix. But that’s not all! With roots firmly planted in his native Chicago, yet another House legend, namely Terry Hunter, rolls out a truly skillful 4/4 BANG Transform Mix with great energy to match.
