Bashy Vs Napt - Make My Day (Plus Remixes!)



Bashy has a single coming up for release on December 6th, featuring funk specialists, Napt. I'm a massive fan of both artists so was excited to hear they were collaborating.
Gotta Have More Cowbell has to be my favourite Napt track, sampling the voices of Christopher Walken and Will Ferrell - I even had a go at beat juggling the record, but the less said about that the better!
Who Wants to be a Millionaire is probably the most iconic track from Bashy for me, a bootleg featured on Toddla T's Fabriclive mix which I really enjoyed. It was really catchy and made me take notice of Bashy.

So to his new material, we'll start with the original.

I'm sure you'll realise, it samples Technotronic's 1989 hit Pump Up The Jam. Typically funky from Napt, and typically catchy from Bashy, this is sure to be a hit in the charts. Bashy doesn't have a reputation as a chart musician just yet, and I reckon this will be the song to propel him there, same for producers Napt.

As with any track at the minute, the opportunity has arisen for a dubstep remix. Specimen A have taken on the challenge, and done well I feel.

It keeps the classic sample, while also throwing in a nice wobble, and classic echoing snare. It samples Bashy's lyrics well to fit in with the tempo, and it's a lot easier to listen to than a lot of dubstep "trash" that is clogging up my YouTube feed at the moment!

Next up, a jumpy house remix from Future Freakz. I really like this remix, it kind of reminds me of Herve or Jack Beats.

It retains all the lyrics from Bashy, and just offers an alternative backing track. I actually think this track works a bit better than the original, but that's just my taste. I have to say this is the track I would most like to hear played in a club.

Finally, a more classic house track from Keaton.

This isn't really my taste in music so it's hard to give an opinion on it. It retains the lyrcis, while also throwing in samples to give a cut up feel. This is more lounge stuff in my opinion, and something you would throw on at a quiet party where you don't want to music to be the focal point of the evening.

There is also a "making of" video, for the video of Make My Day, although the video isn't available yet!


Remember, this single is out December 6th, so keep an eye out!
