REDNAIL KIDZ — Do My Thing (the Remixes)

Rednail Kidz – Do My Thing (The Remixes) arrives on CYCLO RECORDS as catalogue RECYC001, a 12-inch vinyl that revisits a Chicago house staple from the late-90s. The release gathers a freshly remastered original with three fresh reinterpretations, positioning the record at the intersection of deep house’s soulful roots and the funk-driven energy that defines the label’s contemporary output. Cyclo Records, after a period of quiet, re-emerges with this homage to its own back-catalogue. The only other entry listed for the label is Gemini’s “How Can I” (RECYC002, 2017), which follows this release chronologically. By anchoring the EP with a historic club anthem, Cyclo signals a renewed focus on tracks that have shaped underground dance floors. Side A opens with the Nacho Marco remix, a version that pushes “Do My Thing” into big-room territory. The remix is built around commanding 303-style lines and a weighty bass that promises to dominate larger venues. Following it, the original “Do My Thing” appears in a remastered form, preserving the relentless groove that made the track a favourite at venues like Space at Bar Rhumba. Its unchanged structure provides a solid reference point for the surrounding reinterpretations. Side B continues the journey with Mystic Bill’s take, a deep, Chicago-inspired rendition that embraces restraint. By stripping back elements, the remix creates a spacious, hypnotic atmosphere that rewards patient listening and can serve as a subtle bridge in a set. The final cut, the Hallo Halo remix by Jon Dasilva & Jonas Nilsson, injects their signature warm tech aesthetic, adding a sleek, contemporary sheen while retaining the track’s core rhythmic drive. Within the broader output of the contributors, Nacho Marco’s forthcoming releases on PHONOGRAMME (“Colors in dub vol. 1”, “Galaxy EP”) and Chiwax (“Cocktail Beats EP”) suggest a continued interest in melding classic house motifs with modern club sensibilities. Mystic Bill’s upcoming “Chicago School Of Jazz Vol. 1” on Chiwax further underscores his dedication to deep, Chicago-rooted productions, a thread evident in his contribution here. For DJs, the EP offers a versatile toolkit: the Nacho Marco remix delivers the punch needed for peak-time moments, the original provides a timeless groove for deeper slots, Mystic Bill’s version supplies a mellow, atmospheric layer for transitions, and the Hallo Halo mix fits neatly into tech-house or late-night sets. Collectors will appreciate the cohesive narrative that links a seminal house anthem to current reinterpretations, all pressed on a single 12-inch disc. The record is presented as a 12-inch vinyl, matching the format of the original release and its remixes. No additional format descriptors apply beyond the standard vinyl presentation.
