As part of Last Gang Records’ ongoing 20th-anniversary celebration, Alice Ivy has released a high-energy cover of MSTRKRFT’s classic track ‘Easy Love.’ The reinterpretation is part of a series showcasing the label’s storied legacy, featuring new spins on hits from its iconic roster.
Alice Ivy, fresh off the success of her third album, Do What Makes You Happy, injects vibrant life into ‘Easy Love,’ maintaining its original intensity while adding her unique touch. Staying true to the fast-paced energy of the original, Ivy also incorporates samples from a festival interview with MSTRKRFT, a nod to her deep appreciation for the duo. The result is a pulsating, adrenaline-fueled reimagination that bridges nostalgia and innovation.
Reflecting on the project, Ivy shared:
“I grew up listening to MSTRKRFT so being given the task to reinterpret one of their hits felt like a BIG responsibility to do it justice. I was super inspired by one of their interviews they did backstage at a festival back in the day and I simply had to sneak in a few samples from it. I wanted to keep the BPM and energy nice and high; it was an honour to create this cover as part of Last Gang (my first ever record label!)’s 20th Anniversary compilation. I hope they vibe it!”
The cover is available now on all streaming platforms, continuing Last Gang Records’ impressive anniversary series while shining a spotlight on Ivy’s undeniable talent.
