Come Thru Vocals Tuesday: Two Pop Classics Get Sent Back to the Club
Come Thru Vocals Tuesday pulls Mama Cass’ “Make Your Own Kind of Music” (Yum Club Mix) and Mariah Carey’s “Fantasy” (Def Club Mix) out of the remix vault. Both take instantly recognizable pop vocals and stretch them into full-on club experiences — one turning a 1969 anthem into eccentric ’90s house, the other letting Mariah and David Morales make “Fantasy” feel built for a dance floor that never planned on closing early.
Two tracks. Two discoveries. One daily detour.
Come Thru Vocals is INYIM’s long-running daily music discovery series spotlighting voices and songs worth hearing. Selections may also move into Musique Dig’s Weekly Playlist and rotation on INYIM Radio.
Mama Cass
Tune: Make Your Own Kind of Music (Yum Club Mix)
WHY IT CAUGHT OUR EAR
The Yum Club Mix takes Cass Elliot’s 1969 pop standard and rebuilds it as a gloriously eccentric ’90s house record without sanding away the vocal that made the original so undeniable. Released in 1997 and remixed by Carmen Cacciatore and Louie “Balo” Guzman, it stretches the song into a nearly ten-minute club journey — joyous, dramatic and just weird enough to still sound alive decades later.
Mariah Carey
Tune: Fantasy (Def Club Mix)
WHY IT CAUGHT OUR EAR
Mariah Carey and David Morales took “Fantasy” somewhere very different from its radio-pop form with the Def Club Mix, opening the arrangement into more than eleven minutes of house, vocal runs and slow-building release. The mix is vintage Mariah remix culture at its best: not an edit with a new beat pasted underneath, but a complete club reconstruction built around her voice.
