Mike G’s remix of “Luv Thang” starts with an immediate grime reference, the infamous “Ice Rink” sample, and it’s as bright and hard as “Ice Rink” but in a completely different way. The cute little synth from the original “Luv Thang” reigns, making the track bright but in a dreamy rather than realistic way. For a track being made up of incredibly short little sounds, it still has a tremendous, (but also meandering?) flow. It’s easy to see how Mike G can use influences of grime, vogue, and a little house to make a remix that lives fully in many different genres while still feeling fresh. It’s soft spoken but demands the listener’s attention. It’s extremely different from the original, but still maintains it’s calm, cool, collected-ness. And it’s as silly (like, it’s called “Luv Thang” and there’s warbling synths) as it is serious. And it’s featured on Trap Door’s upcoming debut Emerald Dove EP, coming out soon via B.YRSLF Division.
