Audio: Daft Punk Remix – “Get Lucky” Feat. Pharrell [Drop Out Orchestra Remix]

Published May 20, 2013 | By admin

Daft Punk remix for all you obsessives and collectors, not to mention DJs who felt the single version of “Get Lucky lacked “thump.” Drop Out Orchestra from Sweden have decided to be next in line to put their own spin on the single. Their version seems to amp it up with subtle and light variations. A few drums added here and there give it some more oomp. There are classic DJ effects such as the occasional reverb blast but don’t expect to hear a bass drop. While it’s not drastically different than the original, it’s an enjoyable pumped up flip which I could imagine will be getting a lot of burn in clubs soon. Stream the remix below.

Audio: Brand New Heavies – ‘Forward’ World Premiere [LP Stream]

Published May 17, 2013 | By admin

The Brand New Heavies mark their momentous return with Forward, their first studio album since the 2006 LP Get Used To It. The project, scheduled to drop on May 21st, is lead by the single “Sunlight” and a massive amount of anticipation from fans who have been longing for a renaissance of the soul revival cemented by the acid jazz pioneers during 90s. With Forward, the Brand New Heavies mark a return to their signature sound, despite a changing of the guard that finds Dawn Joseph taking over lead vocals for N’Dea Davenport, the powerhouse songstress some consider the voice of the ‘Heavies. Though she has reportedly relinquished the captain’s chair, Davenport does appear on a few tracks while Joseph commences to putting her foot in the remaining joints. The project is a testament to their talent as world class musicians and purveyors of funk in all forms. Singer/songwriter, drummer, producer and keyboardist Jan Kincaid, guitarist Simon Bartholomew and bassist Andrew Levy mark their triumphant return with airtight musicianship in an ode to the disco era packed with horns, strings and a heavy dose of hardcore soul. This is a world premiere. Stream the Brand New Heavies forthcoming LP Forward below. Pre-Order Forward via iTunes.
