Ahead of their upcoming album, Juicy Fruit, Dutch trio Kraak & Smaak have drafted in revered soul singer Mayer Hawthorne to lace the LP's lead single, "I Don't Know Why". The original was a dancefloor-ready electro workout with a big, juicy bass line at its heart. To get you in the mood for the single's release on May 6, they've just exclusively shared this remix from US house and disco DJ/producer Kon with us. Dialling back the full-blown bombast of the original, Kon sticks to the bare essentials on his "Tux" remix, focusing heavily on the funk-filled guitar licks and sturdy disco grooves. It's a promising sign of what's to come, with hopefully a couple more collaborations on this level.
