The first-ever remix from Giles Smith and James Priestly is a late-summer house treat.

Ian Blevins' new EP on the criminally underrated Just Jack label is full of characteristically lush, adventurous house music—check those strings on the title track—but it's likely the Secretsundaze remix that will attract a certain kind of fan. It's the first-ever remix job from the British duo of Giles Smith and James Priestly, and it takes the mood down to the final hours of one of those daytime parties they've been doing for 20 years with an undulating acid line and just the skeleton of Blevins' original. His skippy beat remains intact, an ideal mash-up of two personalities that brings "Welcomes" somewhere darker and trippier without losing its charm.
