Hilit Kolet & The Illustrious Blacks
Transatlantic Kiki (Floorplan remix)
Hilit Kolet and The Illustrious Blacks team up for the Transatlantic Kiki EP. Dropping on Rekids late August, the package is remixed by Floorplan.
London-based artist Hilit Kolet returns to Rekids, collaborating with New Yorks The Illustrous Blacks, the project formed by Manchildblack and Monstah Black, for the Transatlantic Kiki EP, landing 29th August 2025 via Radio Slaves Rekids. Legendary father-daughter duo Floorplan remix the single, with the release following up Kolets 2024 Snap Talk EP, which won support from artists like Dam Swindle, Chloé Caillet, Bradley Zero, and more.
With lyrics that connect London and New York, Transatlantic Kiki is a tough, funk-fueled roller true to Hilit Kolets signature production style, infused with an unmatchable personality via The Illustrous Blacks playful, vogue-like vocals. Its hypnotic, bold, and irresistible, with the pair supplying a loopy First Class mix that introduces vocal elements not featured in the original, amplifying the tracks qualities to hit even harder, and works the dancefloor into a sweat.
Robert and Lyric Hood, known together as Floorplan, remix Hilit Kolet & The Illustrous Blacks Transatlantic Kiki. Equally infectious as the original, they transform its rhythm into a drummy late-night cut. Stabs and vocal chops ride the groove, culminating in a proper lose-yourself-in-the-dance House cut that also comes with an instrumental version.
