Benny Kane - Straighten It Out (Smoke&Mirrors) [SMRX]

Dont Admit Defeat - 05 March 2025

I wanted to write something stripped and raw-sounding, and I found it was more impactful when sampling such a soul legend like  Donny Hathaway; 

The track needed the space to allow the vocals the room to connect with the message of the track, and resonate with the people on the dance floor

The perfect combination of production and performance, APEXAPE are renowned for their immersive live shows, having supported the biggest and best in the industry. 'Joy & Pain' maintains the grooving, soulful vibes that made the original by Maze + Frankie Beverly such a hit in the 80s, but APEXAPE revamp it with the delicious vocals of Josh Barry and their own signature energised, funky house beats making it a huge summer anthem. Big support from Pete Tong, Annie Mac, Danny Howard, B Traits, Monki, Nick Grimshaw, Kiss FM, Kiss Fresh and plenty more.
