Take a Little Trip With Kyle Watson's "Low Rider" Inspired Playlist

Kyle Watson breathes new life into the iconic 1975 hit “Low Rider” with a funky fresh remix as he takes his signature house sound to new heights.

For the better part of a decade, with each passing release, South African phenom Kyle Watson continues to soar to new sonic heights. From his career-defining classics such as “I Got You,” “Magic Carpet,” and “Moments,” to dancefloor-destroying remixes like “Gas Pedal,” he continues to ignite a fire in our shoes that refuses to go out. As the year ends, one of his most sought-after IDs finally sees the light of day, a fresh take on the iconic 1975 anthem, “Low Rider,” by WAR.

Like many great producers, Kyle Watson has tapped into the natural evolution of his sound with his latest remix that’s out now on No Context. He delivers a more simplistic take, leaving the classic horns and nostalgic vocal directly in the spotlight while still offering bouncy basslines and sensationally sharp hi-hats to bring a modern twist to the track. It’s a refreshing take that continues to carry his signature danceability while paying homage to the instantly recognizable grooves WAR laid down almost 50 years ago.

Honestly, this one started as an experiment. I threw the rulebook out the window and just let the music flow, drawing from the essence of the original. I loved how it turned out, but to be honest I was hesitant include it in my sets because it’s unlike anything I’ve made before. But every time I posted it on my socials, the requests for a release date flooded in. It went from being the wild card to a highlight of my sets.
