Pat Lok amps up the groove for We Are Neurotic’s ‘Keep On Dancing’

We Are Neurotic’s soulful ‘Keep On Dancing’ gets a fresh rework from the one and only Pat Lok.

Released October 11 via C3DO Recordings, the remix hooks listeners from the very first beat—you can feel the energy ramp up, inviting you to let loose on the dancefloor.

Jakarta-based trio We Are Neurotic is making waves in Southeast Asia and gearing up for a global push with this high-energy collab. Known for their disco, house, and funk sound, they’ve released tracks on labels like Kitsuné Musique and Nervous Records.

Meanwhile, Vancouver-born, LA-based Pat Lok needs little to no introduction as he continues shaking up the industry with his mix of house, r’n’b, and funk. With releases on Kitsuné and Mad Decent and support from tastemakers like Pete Tong, he’s also earned millions of streams and solidified his place in dance music.

Pat takes the groove up a notch in this remix, transforming the laid-back, vibe-heavy original into a high-energy dancefloor magnet. The original's funky essence remains intact, with deep, warbling synths and syncopated percussion laying the foundation. However, he injects a blend of UK garage and future house, turning up the intensity and making it impossible for us not to start moving.

The remix taps into nostalgia with hypnotic drum patterns and throbbing basslines that give a nod to classic UKG while still feeling fresh and modern. The steady four-to-the-floor beat drives the track with a relentless rhythm, but it's the subtler, muted melodies layered throughout that really enhance the atmosphere, adding a touch of sophistication to the groove.

Pat’s ability to balance punchy bass with delicate sonic textures creates a remix that not only gets heads bopping but also captivates with its depth and intricacy.
