Who says you can’t have hip-hop and your house music too? With the incredible, rising talents of Modus, you will never have to choose. Deep, hypnotizing tech house music is one thing we all crave. And Modus is our man – not only to create that mesmerizing sound, but to remix our top favorite hip-hop originals and turn them into that sleek, rich house groove we just can’t resist.
Modus’ latest remix tackled Drake’s chilled-out original Pound Cake. Modus tested his talents, re-working the original’s minimal-style hip-hop beat into an upscale, hard-pounding lounge groove that progressively deepens. This remix is eclectic in its re-styled samples of the original elements, and infectious in its ability to be repeated over and over again.

Prior to his Pound Cake remix, Modus had some creative ideas for Jay-Z’s hit Tom Ford as well. The result? Equally as impressive, yet completely new. A deep, 4-on-the-floor beat lays a solid foundation for the house remix. Modus’ vocal chops and edits turn the rapper’s lyrics into a hypnotic mind game as the synth keys and funky percussion hits keep this Tom Ford remix light-hearted, balanced, and heavily addicting.
