The extended edit of MK’s highly anticipated new single, “Piece of Me” is now out, after receiving its first play on Annie Mac’s famous BBC Radio 1 show on Friday. This premiere came after MK first been revealed the track in a live performance alongside Becky Hill on BBC
Radio 1. His impressive set was part of Pete Tong’s Live in LA event,
with the new song becoming one of the most talked-about highlights of
the show.
New
material from MK aka Marc Kinchen is always a big event, especially the original
productions; several of his earlier releases, including “Always” and
“Burning,” were instrumental in helping dance music first cross over
into the mainstream. He’s also well known for being a prolific remixer,
with numerous chart successes confirming his skills for crafting catchy
hooks and instantly recognizable melodies. The Detroit house master’s
remix of of Storm Queen’s “Look Right Through” hit #1 in the UK singles
chart and became a defining sound of that summer, whilst his remix
of Wankelmut & Emma Louise’s “My Head Is A Jungle” was another huge
mainstream success.
New
single “Piece of Me” opens with MK’s trademark stylistic flair, with a
chopped, pitched-down vocal sample adding extra melody over the strong,
summery piano chords. Becky Hill’s souring vocals lead the track – as a
singer who has previously collaborated with Rudimental and Oliver
Heldens, her credentials are self-evident. Underpinned by a driving
bassline, “Piece of Me” is an anthemic creation worthy of the huge
festival and club crowds that MK so regularly frequents as a DJ.
“Piece
of Me” marks the first release on MK’s newly-relaunched Area10 label.
With many more release announcements to come and live Area10 stages at
festivals across the world this summer, this track is the first taste of
big things to come – watch out for the Area10 Warm Up Sessions live
dates, which will be announced very soon.
Over
the last few years MK has become one of the elite in the Shazam charts
with a plethora of remixes including Lana Del Rey, Sam Smith,
Rudimental, Kant, and Pharrell to name but a few; his version of Rufus
Du Sol’s “Say A Prayer For Me” is his latest remix success. With his
Area10 brand hosting stages at We Are FSTVL, Parklife, Creamfields and
Tomorrowland as well as his summer shows at Pacha, MK can certainly be
counted as one of the more influentials and prolific DJ/producers in the
game. “Piece of Me” is just the beginning of a big year for the
influential house music master.
