The Kon & The Gang EP contains six brand new dancefloor-ready remixes of all-time disco classics.

The four others are by Caserta, Venice Beach, DJ Smash, and Hippie Torrales – the winners of the Kon & The Gang remix competition, hosted by Legitmix. Included in this DJ Promo is Kon’s remix of Chic‘s “Good Times,” plus a bonus mini-mix of the EP. Legitmix will also be giving away Caserta’s “I’m Coming Out” edit and the original track to introduce you to their ground breaking platform that recreates a remix using the track it samples (more on Legitmix).
