Chicago’s Heavee has more than enough chops to take an unconventional footwork arrangement and “Make It Work.” The title and hook off his latest single for Hyperdub is a distilled footwork drum and sampler workout. Right as the workout starts to make you sweat and strain a bit, Heavee rewards you with an uplifting breakdown. The hard work pays off. Euphoric, pitch-bent chords take over from the vocal samples, tapping into an uncanny ethereality that few producers have access to. This is masterful footwork that isn’t afraid to make you do a few reps. The song will appear on his new record Unleash, which comes complete with an immersive game.
