Toronto’s Kozmik Hype Recordings cuts loose with “There’s No Escape,” a new single in the label’s classic house music style from veteran DJ Mystik Mike. A mainstay on the Toronto scene, Mystik Mike has been spreading the house message since the ’90s as a DJ, club owner, and radio show host. On “There’s No Escape,” Mike enlisted Toronto club diva Lena Mar to provide vocals for a dubby, synth lead-driven house music stomper. Charged with energy, this late night construction is sure to be the peak track of many DJ sets with its wild key lines and echoed vocal hits over an insistent four-on-the-floor rhythm. A pair of hot remixes come courtesy of fellow Toronto mainstays Steve Venom and Darren Marshall. Steve’s hypnotic version builds and rises around a filtered, repeating synth riff, while Darren’s mix channels a bit of ’90s west coast flavor for an after hours treat.
