Cardiff-born DJ and producer Elkka today shares a beat-driven remix of “DJ Friendly” from one of dance music’s most exciting duos – rising London DJ/producer Chloé Robinson and London-based producer DJ ADHD. The signature hard-hitting 909 makes hammers over skittering hi hats and a rubbery bassline, elevating the energy of the already explosive original. 

“It was a real honour remixing DJ Friendly for Elkka. I'm a massive fan of Elkka as an artist and person, and also love the original track. I was so happy to play the EP launch for this with her at Phonica and have been road testing the remix during my America tour I went on just after finalising it. It got the most insane reaction every time Alex and I played it together and I'm so happy to have been a part of this wonderful EP!” - Chloé Robinson

‘DJ Friendly’ sees Elkka sharpen her club tools with a collection of energetic dance floor cuts primed for use within her own DJ sets. In contrast to the melodic technicolour of her live show, this EP is maximalist on tempo, percussion and rave euphoria. The eponymous track has already been making waves across the festival circuit with support from the likes of labelmates Bicep and Barry Can't Swim, along with acclaimed tastemaker Pearson Sound and many more. 

Speaking on the recent EP, Elkka explains: “DJ Friendly is the expression of the urges and intensity that the club space gives to me. I feel like I tend to walk a tightrope between the club and more live-facing music. This one is firmly on the club side. Sometimes I need to release that side of me, inspired by the parties I have played at and partied in over the summer. It builds and builds until the urges are met and I can refresh and allow myself to start again creatively. I've been playing the tracks in my sets all summer and the crowd reactions have been giving me so much energy, so I hope it translates at home. There's also a special bonus track on the white label for my vinyl crew.”
