While ‘Perfect Fit feat. Heartbeat’ represented the softer, more organic moments of Niko Schwind’s recent ‘Grippin’ World’ LP, the second album single ‘My Heart Is On Fire’ showcases a tougher, more club-focused sound, that’s complimented well by Niko’s choice of remixers.

On the original of ‘Grippin’ World’, a monstrous bass-line wraps itself around Lil’ Magdalene’s beguiling voice. Bristol’s rising stars Waifs & Strays pitch down the original’s vocals and lay them over a grooving house framework accentuated by machine gun claps and stuttering vocal loops.
We are then treated to classical pumping piano house in the form of ‘My Heart is on Fire’, which wouldn’t have been out of place in early 90s Manchester. Lastly, Dale Howard turns in a muscular warehouse dub that perfectly round off a very solid DJ package.
