Weekend Weapons: Miguel Migs

San Francisco’s Miguel Migs teamed up with disco legend Evelyn “Champagne” King for the lead single to his forthcoming album, Outside the Skyline; out this week on OM Records, ”Everybody” finds the Salted Music head doing what he does best, embellishing deep house grooves with elements of funk and R&B, resulting in an organic, hybrid sound that’ll sound as good in the kitchen or the car as it does on the dancefloor.

And as far as the dancefloor goes, a carefully chosen set of remixes give this tune extra legs. Aki Bergen delivers a moody, spacious squarewave workout; Soul Clap put a chugging Italo spin on things; Hardsoul goes for a skippy, high-stepping groove, and Nav Izadi slinks into sultry deep house with cowbell to spare.

As you may know, Migs doesn’t often submit DJ charts—we haven’t had one on Beatport since 2005—so we feel honored that he volunteered to submit a set of Weekend Weapons. Read on for Migs’ selection and comments, and keep your eyes peeled for “Everybody Pt. 2,” featuring remixes from Ghosts of Venice, Vernon & Dacosta and Kid Who, plus still more mixes from Aki Bergen and Hardsoul. Check out “Everybody” here.

Miguel Migs feat. Evelyn Champagne King, “Everybody” [Om Records / Salted Music]

Disco legend Evelyn “Champagne” King graces this jam with her lovely vocal talents. It was such a pleasure writing this one with her in the studio.

Doug Willis, “Doug Be Good to Me” [Z Records]

Classic boogie-down house with a retro feel. This one really lifts up the dance floor energy.

Sonny Fodera, “Contact” [Beatdown]

Jackin’, swingin’, tracky groover. Very effective.

Arco, “Everywhere” [Salted Music]

Arco-Everywhere-Salted music(2011) by Arco

Well produced deep and moody house music with warm chords and nice synth layers over some tight and crisp beats. (Out July 26.)
