What a milestone! 50 days, 50 posts and 50 certified bangers brought to you via this blog. Bring on the next 50!

Now, we’ve had a few songs I’ve heavily associated with my time at student radio and this is another one to add to that pile. It got a lot of plays on my show in my third year (when I had actually deferred-minor details) and it is a very unique bop that I’m excited to bring to you.

Do It Like Me (Icy Feet) is a 2017 release from TCTS, known offstage as Sam O’Neill. A Mancunian DJ and producer signed to MTA (the Chase and Status-founded label), he has brought in Sage The Gemini fresh off his smash bop, Now and Later.  It is a great feature verse, with his style and lyricism matching up perfectly with the uptempo, summery vibe TCTS is going for.

It is also hard to avoid the second feature. Kelis, most famously known for her milkshake, her boys, and her yard, comes in during the chorus and on the bridge. Her vocal range is well suited to this house sound and compliments Sage on the chorus really well. It is nice to hear vocal duties being split on a house track, albeit a commercially washed one.

Summer feels all around you with this song. It is carefree and cocky and is a perfect soundtrack for a summer recapturing lost youth. So clearly I’ve given it to you in February. Enjoy!
