What's another electronic remix of an R&B star's single? Well, in the case of Chiefs' sonic translation of Robin Thicke's "Feel Good", it's a four-minute blast of danceable vibes from Down Under. And while we've seen that result borne from several other Australian artists before, we've always enjoyed the way Chiefs has been able to inject his tracks with an electrifying, but not overbearing, pace. That pace, a type of sonic fine line few artists have straddled successfully, is surmounted by the Melbourne producer on his remix here, and a bevy of boisterous elements come forth from him to amplify the original work. Screwed sampling, hyper-digitalized instrumentations, and fluttering synths occur throughout, giving an immersive energy to the foundational R&B interpreted, and also continuing Chief's ascent into electric sonic stratospheres.
