We've been hooked on Sydney producer Hounded ever since we first heard his chilled-out, Adele-sampling track, "Us". He's found most of his success by crafting mellow electronic works, but in his remix of Kanye West's "Touch The Sky" here, he presents a totally new side of his sound that we're absolutely loving. In the remix's opening moments, we're offered an alluring array of dizzying electronic, and just when Hounded has our full attention, he drops a massive house beat that's sure to get your head nodding. From there, the producer mainly loops the hook, but he also incorporates half of Kanye's first verse and the entirety of Lupe Fiasco's. We love to hear artists add new dimensions to their sound, and here, HOUNDED has expanded his craft to make himself a worthy contender within the heavier electronic dance scene.
