Dulin- based producer Ikizov and Canadian singer/songwriter/rapper Elina Filice have teamed up for a fresh, electronic cover of "Pumped Up Kicks" by Foster the People.
Though re-imagined with a driving beat, synths, and electronic elements, as well as a creative top-line melody arrangement by Elina, the cover still captures the darkness and intensity of the song, originally written about a school shooter.
The pair met through the music scene in Dublin, where Elina was based until the COVID pandemic encouraged her back to Canada.
