CHKLZ delivers a groovy remix of "White Wine Spritzer" by Okilly Dokilly



When CHKLZ, the dynamic DJ/producer duo formerly of the ‘Nedal’ band Okilly Dokilly, announced their remix of the band's top single "White Wine Spritzer," it was met with both curiosity and anticipation. Transitioning from the world of heavy metal parody to the groovy beats of house music, CHKLZ has embarked on a journey that not only honours their past but also boldly ventures into new sonic territories.


Okilly Dokilly, known for their unique concept of a Ned Flanders-themed metal band, captured the imaginations of fans with their whimsical yet committed approach to the genre. Their performances were an ode to the overly polite TV character from "The Simpsons," complete with Flanders-inspired attire and lyrics. This quirky idea, born from a casual conversation among friends, quickly evolved into a serious musical project, culminating in a feature on "The Simpsons" where their music video for "White Wine Spritzer" played during the end credits of the episode "I'm Just a Girl Who Can't Say D'oh."


The remix of "White Wine Spritzer" by CHKLZ, released on the esteemed Syn label, is a testament to the duo's artistic evolution. DJ iLL Choppo of CHKLZ expressed their excitement about the project, stating, "We feel like the essence of this Remixerino captures and connects all the dots of our past, present, and future!" This statement encapsulates the heart of the remix: a bridge between their ‘Nedal’ roots and their current house music endeavours.


CHKLZ's remix breathes new life into "White Wine Spritzer," maintaining the playful spirit of Okilly Dokilly while infusing it with a fresh, modern energy. The groove is infectious, with layers of synth and bass creating a soundscape that is both immersive and invigorating. Fans of the original will appreciate the nods to its iconic elements, while new listeners will be drawn to the track’s vibrant, danceable rhythm.


"White Wine Spritzer" is a standout release that successfully marries the past with the future. It’s a track that honours the legacy of Okilly Dokilly while firmly establishing CHKLZ's place in the realm of house music.
