What is this, you ask?
“Winner’s Circle Vol. 2 features the freshest Hey Champ remixes and the debut of the band’s new track “Silver City” alongside cuts from the likes of Penguin Prison, Luke Million, and Tensnake. Known for their pop savvy and energetic live shows, Hey Champ has become a Chicago mainstay. With this mix, they highlight their skills as eclectic and innovative producers and DJ’s. Like the incredibly popular Vol. 1, Winner’s Circle Vol. 2 is both international calling card as well as shout out to their hometown. So dust off your NordicTrak, pick up your Shake Weights, download, listen and work up a sweat.”
The ain’t lying! Hey Champ’s Winner’s Circle Vol. 1 mixtape was one of my favorite things I’ve heard in the last five years, no joke. In fact, it set expectations so high for their actual self-titled debut album that I ended up being a little disappointed when I finally got to hear it, but this is sounding like a total return to form.
