Brad Ashwell makes his Dance Artifakts debut with a massive 9 mix release featuring a wide array of imaginative accents on the two originals, ‘Charmed’ and ‘Uprising’. ‘Charmed’ is a groovy magic carpet ride guided by a funky organ and Amanda Starr on flute along a breeze of mystery as Brad shepherds listeners to a secret dance floor in the sky. Brad’s Primal Mix deepens the horn section and builds new layers upon the nostalgic core of the original. The Piano Dub ushers listeners to a deep soothing lounge outside space and time. Michael Hall’s Frisky Business mix incorporates the feelings of a deep classic house tune with a musicality that entrances the busiest of ears and minds. And finally, Akari‘s can’t-miss remix adds a home-brewed vocal and some lush synth work to complete the sunny, vibe-soaked composition.
‘Uprising’ is a breaky track that brings its own bouquet of flavors-nostalgic and classically groovy while marinated in a modern sauce. Never More‘s remix adds new layers of drums and hypnotic tribal elements to the sonic palette, all driven by a pounding groove that will light the torches for any dance floor. To bring the journey full circle, Anthony Georges Patrice offers the Sky and Dub mixes to the menu. The ‘Sky Mix’ introduces a spacey and imaginative soundscape while the ‘Dub Mix’ is a high-power all-terrain after-hours vehicle ready to take you exactly where you need to be. Don’t sleep on this explosive release heading straight for the refined tastemaker’s collection.
