Re-visiting their acclaimed single “Good To Be Loved,” M-22 has called upon Chris Lake for an intelligent redesign of the BBC Radio 1 Anthem of the Week.
A skittering house thumper, Chris Lake’s interpretation sports a healthy dose of house with elements of R&B to sew the track together. Lingering chords slide into each other as rhythmic snaps and a subtle low-end introduce the atmosphere before breaking into an encompassing hook. Effortlessly twisting M-22’s original mix into a deeper tinge, Lake’s iconic keyboard progressions merge beautifully with the track’s club-ready bassline. Chris Lake’s “Good To Be Loved” remix will become available January 29th courtesy of Refune.
We also had the chance to catch up with M-22 about their career as independent artists. Read on below to hear their thoughts on production, musical freedom, and what they’re up to next.
Describe the freedom that comes with producing for yourselves versus writing pop material for other artists.
“Producing and writing for our own music project is what we have always wanted to do. We can be creative and play with sounds , change chords , change lyrics always knowing the tracks are being made for our own name. We then play a huge part in the process of deciding what we release which ultimately is what you want when you believe in a track so much.”
