Perfectly described as the satisfying vibe you’d hope for when it comes to sampling one of pop’s most iconic hooks – producer and DJ Gan delivers a uniquely uplifting afrohouse take on the classic Madonna hit Like A Prayer, and the results are next to impossible to dislike.
Pairing fresh chord changes with the unmistakable melody of the original Like A Prayer, Gan’s afrohouse electronic mix delivers a classic afro rhythm and spacious ambiance, with the Madonna vocal resounding and gathering impassioned momentum alongside a rising groove.
The track is quick to assert its individuality, offering a euphoric floor-filler presence in the reverberating synths and that afro beat, and there’s also a certain humility to the creative process – Gan doesn’t overdo things, instead compliments the original song and its strengths, while utilising the globally loved afrobeat energy to redirect things in a fresh way.
This humble and clearly appreciative intention is something that rings loud throughout the Gan repertoire, and has won him tens of thousands of monthly listeners. An artist and producer with an undeniable love for music in all of its forms, Gan creates out of necessity and escapism, and that truth lets the music connect and appeal in a manner that’s unheard of for those simply looking to stir up a fuss or win attention.
An easy must for the summer months ahead, Gan’s Like A Prayer (Extended Version) provides the essential uplift and celebratory positivity required to really let go and live well this season.
