Chill Out Mother Fucker

Dennis Ferrer - Hey Hey (Vox)

Oh Mr. Ferrer... simply put you are the king of cool. This track is chill at it's core with exceptional vocals. Dennis always brings something different to speakers and has done it again with this track. The track is exceptional and stands out instantly.

The track is so good and has inspired me so, that it garners the first promo video post ever on Floor Shaker. It's amazing to see Dennis vibe to his own track. The man is delivering energy on every level and looking good doing it.



Some additional information about the track form Mr. Ferrer in his own words.

"So here it is....the record is called Hey Hey!! I wrote this about the first time someone meets someone that piques your interest in the street. You walk by and someone grabs your attention. Most of the time you don't want it but occasionally you'll entertain someone and if the stars align right...well you hook up. Sometimes it turns out bad and you reflect and you tell yourself...DAMN! why'd i do that in the first place. That's the thought that went into this when i wrote it.

I had a difficult time looking for the right person to sing this song as it wasn't the generic vox record of old. I needed an edge. Someone who's voice had personality. I think I found it with this artist.


The record is definitely different and might take ya a few listens but I hope you enjoy as it comes from the heart.

Chorus voxes was Me, Vivien Goldman (the wonderful professor of post-punk at NYU who also wrote and performed the 1981 post-punk classic "Launderette") and Dominique Keegan of The Glass. They were done through a Neumann U47 in Omni (cuz we were scattered around the booth..cardoid would've sounded weird..too focused on one particular person) into a Neve 1064 and compression was done through a Purple MC77."
