Free tune! Not an official remix but a dope one from Slovakia based producer Embryo . Embryo takes Femme En Fourrure's classic smooth jam 'Plump Bisquit' and gives it a very classic house rework. What we like is that the remix stays deep in respect to the original, but has a nice little jacking vibe in the style of Chicago and Detroit, and the sound of bells work great. Definitely looking forward to hear more from Embryo. While waiting, download the remix for free on the player. Femme En Fourrure have also been busy, [...]

We're very proud to present our 1st Moombahton compilation. We've been fans of Moombahton since it started as one man's hobby (we see you Dave) and turned into a worldwide phenomenon.
