The Danish wonder child, Mike Hawkins who you may have seen running the Beatport charts like it was his personal treadmill decides to premiere with us a free remix of a The White Stripes monster hit “Seven Nation Army.” This groovy electro house remix makes me think this song was originally a house track and when that dirty electro work delivers in the drop there is no turning back. Mike is currently signed to Warner music has been releasing singles across the international market on heavyweight imprints EMI / Virgin Music, Positiva, Ultra, and Spinnin, in addition to his own label, Megaton Records.

To celebrate coming off two summer festival hits, Jump! released on the Bingo Players critically acclaimed, Hysteria Records, which peaked at #5 on the Beatport overall top 100 chart and ‘Bangover’ released on Marcus Schossow’s Spinnin Records Imprint, Tone Diary, plus reaching the 10,000 like milestone on Facebook, Mike Hawkins has offered up a free download of the White Stripes classic, ‘7 Nation Army’. Taking us back to the old school, Mike delivers this stellar production with an intro that you can’t help yourself but hum, and inputs his unique, yet electrifying touch on this track that has been playing on repeat at our HQ. Hawkins takes the track and turns it into a dance floor ready banger by infusing a heart pounding bassline, accompanying it with a fresh, feel good melody that co-insides with the originals inspiring vocals, leaving us with a refreshing sound we’ve been searching for all summer.
In the next few months, Mike has three more singles ready for release. First a collaboration with Sebjak on Ultra Music, followed by another collab with his Megaton label-mates, Henry Fong & Toby Green on Spinnin’ Records. And if that’s not enough, a certain Swede has been playing his latest creation which has been rocking crowds from Tomorrowland to Veld Festival and will be released later this year, on one of the biggest, most dynamic in demand labels in the electronic world.
