Freejak's version of "Jolene" is the perfect festival-ready mix for DJs everywhere (as witnessed by thousands at Glastonbury this year). Back in the day, we were huge fans of the Todd Terje edit but it feels a little drawn out for today's dancefloors. So we asked Kevin McKay to deliver an up-to-date deep house interpretation for a club moment that would rival his "Somebody That I Used To Know". And here you have it, 6 minutes of tripped out guitar, that iconic vocal and a slow-burning bass-heavy beat.

Freejak - Jolene (Kevin McKay Extended Remix)

Glasgow Underground was set up in 1997 by Kevin McKay. He began the label releasing his own music and collaborations with friends and other Glasgow-based artists (Omid 16b, Studio Blue, DJ Q, Harri). Through his DJing and work for various music magazines (Muzik, Jockey Slut, Mixmag Update) he met some of his favourite producers of the time (Romanthony, Mateo & Matos, Idjut Boys...) and convinced some of them to join him releasing on GU. In the early 2000s, Kevin met Mylo and set up the Breastfed record label. The global success of "Destroy Rock & Roll" meant Glasgow Underground was put on hold. After leaving the Breastfed label in 2011, Kevin re-started Glasgow Underground and since then the label has gone on to re-invigorate Romanthony's catalogue with remixes from the likes of Dixon, MCDE, Gerd, Andres, Oliver Dollar, Ejeca, Audiojack, Claptone, Christian Nielsen, Supernova, Jimmy Edgar and Waifs & Strays. The label has also introduced producers like Daniel Trim, Brett Gould, Mia Dora and Illyus & Barrientos as well has releasing established & rising stars such as Metodi Hristov, Stefano Ritteri and Sabb.
