MakeLove has just shared a brilliant remix of his latest single ‘Dive In’ – courtesy of Vancouver-based producer Pat Lok.

Stream the new remix below, which premiered a moment ago over on Discobelle.

Pat Lok has delivered another exceptional remix here, with his signature synth-driven, vibrant, tropical blend of charismatic house music, taking MakeLove‘s ‘Dive In’ to a totally new place.

Based in the countryside just outside of London, MakeLove blends pop, funk, and soul to create a sound which is instantly pleasing, wonderfully inventive, and consistently enjoyable. Welding together crisp electronics, with funk-laced bass lines, brought together by warm, timeless vocal passages – ‘Dive In’ is another hugely impressive offering.

Here’s a quote from MakeLove himself: “‘Dive in’ is a love song. In all of the music I write there is a plead from one to another. Wanting or needing love and not being able to hide that affection. At the time of writing I was watching a lot of Charlie Chaplin films and listening to a lot of Paul McCartney when he decided to go disco for 20 minutes. Chaplin always played characters that do ridiculous acts to earn the love of others. Unashamed dancing and unashamed love.”

Awash with dreamlike synths, gorgeous falsetto vocal lines and an energetic funk feel, ‘Dive In’ continues to showcase MakeLove as an incredibly exciting prospect to look out for over the next year.

‘Dive In’ follows the release of his previous singles – ‘Head Up’ earlier this year, and latest release ‘Dancing All The Time’ – picking up plaudits from the likes of NoiseyDIY, and Clash along the way. Earlier support includes a spot on NME‘s Radar section, before lighting up the blogosphere and getting picked up by Zane Lowe, who gave it multiple spins in the final months of his BBC Radio 1 show.

You can expect to hear MakeLove’s name plenty more as the year draws to a close, with plans for his debut EP release in February 2016.

The new single ‘Dive In’ is set for release via Four Thieves Records on November 20th, ’15.
