My People


 

Liking what Greymatter is going through lately. I mean, been enjoying his music for quite some time, but it seems like he’s really stepped it up a notch recently. Late last year saw the release of his immense remix of Glory on Stac’s Turn The Lights Out: The Remixes / Vol. One, and now this one.

Also nice to hear again from Dekata Project, whose 2009 track At Least We Can Dance was one of my favorites at the time, especially it’s Hint and Roska remixes which I was spinning quite a lot. This time around they got yet another sweet tune, with Yvette on the vocals as before, once again proving to be perfect material for a remix.

Greymatter is treating us here to a beat heavy, somewhat trippy, fat bass’d remix, that feels big and dancey, but remains soulful and groovy, perfect balance. This limited time free download celebrates Dekata Project’s new single “My People”, out 4th April 2011, which will also feature, besides this remix, remixes by Toby ioi and Zed Bias (part of the Dekata Project himself). Check out the single preview mix on soundcloud.


 

Shout out to Jus Like Music for putting me on to this one!

All Of The Lights


Some songs were simply made to be remixed. I remember getting excited about Stac’s Turn That Light Out album a few months prior to it’s release last year, but eventually not really being taken by it, even though it sure was a nice album. But those songs deserved more, not to mention Stac with her sweet vocals and great delivery. And so I was very happy when later that year Wah Wah 45s released The Remixes Vol One, which was exactly what I was missing.

But that was not all. Another six months pass, and yesterday a new remixes album, Vol Two, was released, and I think it might even be better than the first one, I mean, any album that opens with a Kidkanevil tune is already on the right track as far as I’m concerned. With other remixes coming from Alex Patchwork, Scrimshire, Hint, Blue Daisy and Ashley Beedle, plus some more lesser known but equally as talented producers, this album covers a large grooveful spectrum of beats, soul, broken nuggets, deep house and lots in between, maintaining a very smooth and relaxed feel, warm and gentle, quite dreamy and a bit trippy at times. Big up to all the producers involved, and to whoever was in charge of the selection and compilation of both remixes albums. Head over to bandcamp to buy yourself some digital sugar.
