Gotta Get That Money by Works Of Intent and Gray

Big room techno maestro and melancholic selector Works Of Intent joins forces with model and lyricist Gray to deliver this scintillating slice of New York House homage. The original 1988 copy is a dry-witted take on the realities of the American dream and the pursuit of fame and fortune. A working-class cabbie with dreams of being a singer has to take the train from New Jersey just to drive his cab. His passenger, an aspiring model with an unconvincing British accent, is in town and headed straight to The Vogue building. “Because I heard New York's where the money's at!”

The two artists met in the virtual corridors of SoundCloud. Works had an appreciation for the Techno/Afro House fusion mixes of Gray, and she reciprocated with respect for Works' arp-driven, “Big Room” oddities. After an exchange of emails and a gift of fresh cuts, Gray surprised Works with a vocal rendition of “Winning Dulls The Pain” that blew his proverbial socks off. Since then, they've been scheming a global takeover.

The pair rework the digger's classic into a modern dancefloor workout. "Gotta Get That Money (Classic Mix)" offers a fresh coat of paint, lyrically exploring a new backstory while meticulously preserving that quintessential vinyl crackle. The release is paired with "Gotta Get That Money (Big Money Mix)," a typically huge alternate version designed for the superstar DJs whose hands it will inevitably find itself in. With arena rattling subs and ketamine crisis-inducing synth lines that rear their ugly head in the last half.
