If there’s one thing NYC’s Brenmar can do with the utmost style and grace, it’s find a perfect vocal sample (usually from a choice vintage R&B cut, like, say, Shai’s “If I Ever Fall in Love”) and make it completely his own. Luckily, the DJ/producer also crafts excellent club sounds, and deftly pairs those punchy dance beats and skittering rhythmic noises with his expertly retooled vocal bits. “Be the One” bounces and booms with an enviable 808 drum pattern, and boasts no other melody outside of the quartet’s sampled croons—giving Brenmar’s track a strangely thuggish soul that we think suits today’s dancefloors quite well. You can watch him try out more of those sounds at any of his upcoming tour dates, listed after the jump.
