When we asked Luke Miller to compile a beginners' guide to Nu-Disco, we had no idea the encyclopedic knowledge the Lotus keyboardist/guitarist was sitting on. Since starting his indie house project Luke the Knife, and even before that in his more than a decade long tenure with the post-rock/electro-jam hybrid, Miller has been cataloging and collecting years of fun club tunes to throw into his disco sets, but we forget that the talented musician has a way with contemporary tunes, as well.

Today, we premiere his house-fueled mash-up of the hottest hip-hopper of the moment, Chance the Rapper's "Cocoa Butter Kisses" with Aashton's "All U Need." The sultry beat lingers from chorus to chorus, gently swaying in the tropical breeze. The laid-back vibes fill the room and the beat makes you sweat.

Fans know all too well how humid LtK sets can get. Miller hits Brooklyn's Panther Room on Wednesday (4/16) with brother and bandmate Jesse Miller's Beard-o-Bees project, and then the two big festivals on the calendar are Euphoria later this month, and Electric Forest at the end of June. Smoke 'em if you got 'em, and grab this one for FREE.
