Mr. Teki Back

Teki Latex of TTC fame has a solo album coming out (on Virgin France, no less) backed by some promising remixes on the singles, one of which I have for you below. In this shot dude looks like a honky Heavy D. or a euro-fied Patton Oswalt, I can't make up my mind. Up-and-coming Parisian producer Surkin - who with the rest of the Institubes crew is still un-just-ly lurking in the shadow of Ed Banger - does well to turn the smarmy smooth groove quotient of the original into some filter-house monster stomping alongside a stuttering bobble-head.

Teki Latex - Les Matins De Paris (Surkin Remix)

Also of note is Surkin's appearance on Orgaga's mixtape for the Alors Les Filles, On Fête Noël? party that happened in Paris. He actually swipes the bottom end of "Da Funk" for the second half of this remix, updating it with 21st-century electro-house tempo and the attendant grittiness you might expect. Sorry but it's in mixed form....

Para One - Midnight Swim (Surkin Remix)
