Have you seen the movie Kick Ass? Before the movie started, I’ve been very cautious about its plot, after all it was a Hollywood production. But I liked it a lot, it was one fun and gory ride on the pop-culture train and self-reflected enough not to just go under.

It got a similiar feeling towards this remix of the Kick Ass score track from Mika. After all, the original is a housey feel-good production from the shelf, the kind you can find in every second Hollywood production. And when I clicked on play and heard the vocals from the original, it got lucky that I was too lazy to immediately click on the next track. Or should I say, I was lucky? Because apart from the original pieces, this is one of the finest electro-house productions I heard in quite some time.

As said, you should probably skip the intro and outro and use some nice effects during the breaks. But in-between, hell breaks lose. The two synth-lines give this track a truckload of stomachpunching hellyeah, the sound as a whole is fat enough to keep up with productions from Wolfgang Gartner. If used wisely, this track certainly is a crowdpleaser!

The ‘S’ is an Italian producer/dj-duo, who earned their first spurs in Bergamos club-scene, where they spread their first productions in 2009. Recently they participated in a producing workshop led by Gigi Barocco, and to me it seems like this really helped their style. If they cut back a little bit on the housy vocals, this two have the potential to seriously kick some butts. (Ha!)
