Chris Malinchak
So Good To Me

French Express/Ministry of Sound

WE SAY

Fast shaping up to be the soundtrack of the summer, So Good To Me by 26-year-old New York deep house producer Chris Malinchak is a stop-you-in-your-tracks first listen. A former Cool Cuts and Hype Machine No 1, with a UK premiere as Pete Tong's Essential New Tune, strong Radio 1 support has come from Zane Lowe, Annie Mac, Nick Grimshaw, Rob Da Bank, Toddla T and Diplo & Friends. With Phil Taggart and Alice Levine making it their Record of the Week this week, it's on the B list at 1Xtra with additional spins from Capital, Kiss and beyond. Premiered by Digital Spy, the official video has just gone live on YouTube, where the audio has received well in excess of a million plays. Playing it on Radio 1 recently Zane Lowe said "I hope this track takes off, goes around the world, and then lands on a beach somewhere in Ibiza for the summer." We couldn't agree more.
