MK & BECKY HILL - Piece Of Me

Area 10/Columbia/B1/Sony
MK & BECKY HILL - Piece Of Me (Area 10/Columbia/B1/Sony)

MK’s highly anticipated new single alongside BECKY HILL ‘Piece of Me’, is now out on his new label, Area 10.

"Piece Of Me" opens with MK’s trademark stylistic flair, with a chopped, pitched-down vocal sample adding extra melody over the strong, summery piano chords. BECKY HILL's souring vocals lead the track - as a singer who has previously collaborated with Rudimental and Oliver Heldens, her credentials are self-evident. Underpinned by a driving bassline, "Piece of Me" is an anthemic creation worthy of the huge festival and club crowds that MK so regularly frequents as a DJ.

"Piece Of Me" marks the first release on MK’s newly relaunched Area10 label. With many more release announcements to come and the Area 10 Tour having been recently announced, this track is the first taste of big things to come – MK will be bringing Area 10 to multiple festivals and clubs around Europe, see below for dates.

The video for "Piece Of Me" has also recently been released - shot as if through an Instagram filter, it features two young couples kissing in the back of separate cars. The cars, however, are attached to the heads of two skateboarders who eventually collide, catapulting the two couples out of the windscreen, unexpectedly coming together with each other’s other halves mid-air. A tongue-in-cheek ode to the haphazardness of young love, the video perfectly matches the pairing of MK’s upbeat piano chords with Becky Hill’s soaring vocals.

New material from MK is always a big event, especially the original productions; several of his earlier releases, including "Always" and "Burning", were instrumental in helping dance music first cross over into the mainstream. He’s also well known for being a prolific remixer, with numerous chart successes confirming his skills for crafting catchy hooks and instantly recognisable melodies. The Detroit house master’s remix of of Storm Queen’s ‘Look Right Through’ hit #1 in the UK singles chart and became a defining sound of that summer, whilst his remix of Wankelmut & Emma Louise’s ‘My Head Is A Jungle’ was another huge mainstream success.

Over the last few years MK has become one of the elite in the Shazam charts with a plethora of remixes including Lana Del Rey, Sam Smith, Rudimental, Kant, and Pharrell to name but a few; his version of Rufus Du Sol’s ’Say A Prayer’ is his latest remix success. With his Area10 brand hosting stages at We Are FSTVL, Parklife, Creamfields and Tomorrowland as well as his summer shows at Pacha, MK can certainly be counted as one of the more influential and prolific DJ/producers in the game. "Piece Of Me" is just the beginning of a big year for the influential house music master.
