Hailing the second release from Mark Knight’s exciting new Fool’s Paradise label is ‘Make It Happen’ from Canada’s premier dance producer, Hatiras.
Cooking up a fantastic fusion of chic and sheer dance floor fierceness, Hatiras delivers a playful Disco House romp adorned with sweeping strings, a hot bumping bass, and teased with a catchy soulful vocal hook, primed to lift the roof off!
“Last summer in Toronto, Mark Knight and I got talking about how we both love the same music from the 80s and 90s including proper, old, truly soulful House Music. I was inspired to create some music for his new Fool’s Paradise label. I dug through some of my old records and found a few perfect samples (fully cleared and licensed of course) – and came up with ‘Make It Happen’. I kept a lot of the classic House vibes, but added a bit of a wonky bassline, upbeat percussion and modern builds and arrangement. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did creating it”.
