SOFI TUKKER have shared a new remix of “Swing” by Vini Vici & Whiteno1se. The Israeli duo reimagines “Swing” as a pulsating psytrance odyssey while retaining the epic scale and sensual nature of the original.
SOFI TUKKER have started daily live DJ sets at 1PM ET on their Instagram and Facebook channels to stay connected with their community of fans around the world. The improvisational nature of these sessions make each one singular as the group incorporates live samples, guitar, and vocals into the sets.
SOFI TUKKER shares:
“You might be forced into isolation right now, but we want to remind you to move your body and remember that you’re not alone. Ironically, the most loving thing we can do right now as a global community is not to be together. Thank god for the internet so we can still have a dance party. Every. Day. See. You. There. <3 -S&T”. The group has also shared a Spotify playlist with highlights from their daily sets. Follow it here.
SOFI TUKKER have also announced that they have had to cancel and reschedule their tour dates due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Details on the dates below. The group says, “The most loving thing we can do right now for each other is to not physically be together. Unfortunately, although we are sure it won’t come as a surprise, that means we will be cancelling our Spring tour. We were able to postpone a couple of the shows (listed below) but for those of you who we will not be able to dance with this time around, we will be sticking with our daily 1pm ET live DJ sets, live from our living room every.single.day. We are heartbroken but we also have faith that this will make us and our entire world stronger in the long run. We’ll be together as soon as we can. We love you! Take care of yourself! And stay home!!”.
The group recently shared Dillon Francis’ remix of their track “Purple Hat.” Francis’ take on the song accelerates the tempo to an almost heart-stopping pace, while simultaneously turning up the bass for a truly body rattling sonic experience. It was preceded by rising Glaswegian producer KC Lights’ euphoric techno take on “Purple Hat.” “Purple Hat” and “Swing” appear on SOFI TUKKER’s “DANCING ON THE PEOPLE” EP.
