As warmer months begin to roll in north of the equator, Novakk graces MoBlack Records' catalog with a fiery rendition of Sunlightsquare's 2017 dance hit, that can set temperatures in any dancefloor rising, piquing all senses, but gripping straight for the ears: Oyelo! The Spanish DJ/Producer takes full control as he buckles in the front seat and navigates through this 6:26 tropical rendezvous, revving up with an enigmatic prelude and swiftly shifting gear to a high-powered beat and mesmerizing groove. MBR380's hook baits and reels snug, in a little over a minute, as Cuban singer Rene Alvarez's rousing vocals invoke deep-rooted emotions and earthen euphoria. Weaving in the original's Latin, Jazz and House-infused DNA, Novakk forgoes a little bit of its tenderness, stripping Sunlightsquare's 'Oyelo,' of its sentimental piano overlay, and roughening his reinterpretation with vivid yellow-toned percussion, moistened with vibrant synth grains, ultimately unraveling a labyrinth of roots gripped by the sun in perfect rhythm, entangled in dance.
