Roll into 2021 with some swagger and a hot batch of remixes “Party Beacon” by Qdup featuring Jerome Joyce. Party Beacon made it on to Juno Download's Best of 2020 Breakbeats, and is prime to be remixed. Qdup enlisted two of his favorite producers Beat Le Juice and the mighty Fort Knox Five for remix duty and both remixes are likely contenders to make it for Best of 2021!

First up we head across the globe to Poland's up and coming Funk and Bass producer Beat Le Juice to get his funky signature sound. Fans of the funk may be familiar with his tracks released on UK imprint Scour Records or his countless free downloads. That signature Beat Le Juice sound shines through with a boogie bass-line that dances effortlessly around funky chords. His remix is dripping with funk and even adds some extra talk box vocals to compliment Jerome’s party raps with style. Get ready for booty-shaking fun!!

Needing no introduction, label head honchos FK5 are continuing a string of fantastic remixes after their recent funky house reworking of “Good Gal Queen, Badmon Ting” by Average Citizens of Vancouver. Their remix pumps up the tempo, adds a 4 to the floor feel and goes full force on the disco vibes. The Party Beacon is shining brightly, so break out your funky dance moves and get down with the Fort Knox Five Remix.
