“Although there were many great submissions, the one that resonated with us the most was Faethom’s version. The Garage-ish bassline just works so well and the vibe of the track fits where Brooklyn Fire is headed. We’re looking forward to finishing this collaboration and releasing the track. Nice work!”

Runners up:

“This version by The Vandal Squad makes great use of that vocal sample. We also really like the retro organ sound too!”

“The Hasson Bro’s version stood out to us as soon as we started playing it. It has a really similar direction as our original but more dirty and distorted (in a good way!). This might be the 4am version of the track.

“This version is really great! It almost sounds like a dub mix of the track. We really like the a lot of the breakdowns and all the space that was left in the mix by not overcrowding it. For DJs, this one will work really well to do a long blend.”

“Jsmall’s version of the track is really good! The vocal sample and edits really made the track along with the lead bass stab sound. Really good job with this one!”
