Kryptonicadjs have spent more than two decades refining a style that sits somewhere between deep‑tech hypnosis and house swagger, and ‘Hop The Jam’ distills that journey into one lean cut for the small‑hours floor. A familiar vocal snippet—lifted from Technotronic’s immortal ‘Pump Up The Jam’—floats in and out like a half‑remembered hook, while a rubbery bassline and needle‑sharp percussion keep tension high. The pair keeps the arrangement spare: no ornamental fluff, just rolling pressure, subtle atmospheric washes, and a groove that won’t loosen its grip.
Jey Kurmis strips the original back even further and steers it into murkier territory. His remix leans on a low‑slung, pitch‑black bass motif and tight micro‑house drums, letting negative space do the heavy lifting. The vocal slips behind the curtain, re‑emerging only as a faint shadow, and the result feels both more clandestine and more kinetic—a perfect bridge for DJs pushing from deep tech into peak‑hour house.
‘Hop The Jam’ shows why Kryptonicadjs remain a reliable source of dance‑floor firepower: they understand that a single hypnotic loop, tuned just right, can carry a crowd for hours. Paired with Kurmis’ taut reshuffle, the package offers two different doors into the same after‑hours maze—pick one and stay lost.
