The Light Remixes by Disco Fries Feat Niko The Kid – A Little Slice of Electronic Bliss
Alright, so let’s talk about The Light Remixes by Disco Fries featuring the smooth vocals of Niko The Kid. Released back in 2015 under Zouk Recordings (yep, straight outta the Netherlands), this album is a solid ride through different shades of electronic music—think Acoustic vibes, Garage House grooves, Electro House energy, and even some Progressive House feels. It’s not gonna blow your mind like crazy, but it’s got enough flavor to keep things interesting.
Now, I gotta say, the standout tracks here are The Light (Acoustic Version) and The Light (MANIK Remix). Let me break ‘em down for ya.
First up, the Acoustic Version. Honestly? This one sneaks up on you. You think it’s just another chill track at first, but then Niko The Kid’s voice comes in all smooth and soulful, like he’s telling you a story over coffee or something. The stripped-back production lets his vocals really shine, and there’s this kinda raw, heartfelt vibe that sticks with you. Like, you don’t expect an acoustic take on an electronic tune to hit so hard, but it does. Props to whoever thought of doing this version—it’s low-key genius.
Then there’s the MANIK Remix. Oh man, this one slaps. If the acoustic version is all about chill vibes, this remix is where the party starts. MANIK takes the original and gives it this gritty garage house spin that makes you wanna move—like, immediately. There’s this funky bassline running through it, and the beat hits just right without being too overwhelming. It’s one of those tracks that reminds you why house music can feel so damn good when done well. Plus, it’s got enough twists and turns to keep you hooked till the end.
Other remixes on the album, like the Bounce Inc. Radio Edit and the Tommie Sunshine & Halfway House Remix, are cool too, but they don’t leave as big an impression. They’re fun listens if you’re into more radio-friendly stuff or experimental spins, though.
So yeah, The Light Remixes isn’t perfect, but it doesn’t need to be. What it does do is show how versatile a single song can be when handed off to different producers. And honestly? That’s pretty rad. It’s like taking a basic idea and spinning it into gold—or, well, platinum, maybe.
Here’s the random thought I’ll leave you with: Listening to this album feels like walking into a club where every room plays a slightly different version of the same song. Weirdly comforting, right? Maybe that’s what Disco Fries were going for—a little reminder that even light looks different depending on how you see it. Or maybe they just wanted people to dance. Either way, mission accomplished.
