A Love Bizarre (Part One)

Posted on by admin

REMIXES BY JERRY ROPERO • RUSS RICH • LEO FRAPPIER • ANDY ALLDER

San Francisco-based house DJ Russ Rich was born and raised in Minnesota and has been a life-long Prince fan, even working at Paisley Park Studios for two years in the mid-90s. “I grew up listening to his music. He was a hero in Minnesota, and working at Paisley Park was a dream come true. I was fortunate enough to see him countless times in concert, and during my time at Paisley, would occasionally run into him in the hallways and studio. When Prince died, I knew I wanted to do a project that would honor his music. ‘A Love Bizarre,’ is my love letter to Prince – a thank you for a lifetime of amazing music.”

“A Love Bizarre,” in its original version, is a duet sung by Sheila E and Prince. Once Rich decided on “A Love Bizarre,” he knew immediately which vocalist he wanted to work with on the track. Rich approached Debby Holiday about the project. Holiday, also a huge Prince fan, performed the song perfectly, delivering not only the lead “Sheila” vocal but also turning in a stunning “Prince” vocal line. Rich then approached two of his favorite sound engineers – Andy Allder to work with on a late-night “Afterhours” mix, and Leo Frappier, to produce a Peak-time main room club mix. Both mixes are featured on the first EP along with a Jackin’ House remix by the legendary house producer Jerry Ropero. A second EP remix package will follow in December 2017.

Pout [Push Your Lips Out]

Posted on by admin

A musical commentary on the obsessions of selfies and the social media-driven world of reality television, Joe Moda’s debut single ’Pout (Push Your Lips Out)’ speaks to how social media is now today’s new mirror. However, the self-generated image is a skewed one at best.

Co-produced by New York hitmaker Mr. Migs (Steve Migliore), Moda and Swishcraft enlist a set of heavy hitter remix producers. Bojan, one half the Polish mega remix team WAWA, who’s remixed for Kylie, Chicane, Junior Jack and Che’Nelle have helped take artists to #1 on club and pop charts around the globe, presents a big room tribal remix teeming with thick chords and percussion-heavy beats sure to make ‘Pout’ a fully-fledged summer anthem. American team Dirty Disco, the Billboard #1 Remix team behind hits for club royalty including Debby Holiday, Inaya Day, Celeda, Jeanie Tracy & Pepper MaShay, fine tune this energetic anthem with darker chords over a rolling late nite vibe. Billboard #1 production team Division 4 & Matt Consola, who’s remix productions for Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Gwen Stefani, Jess Glynn and Enrique Iglesias has made them a household name almost overnight, take a decidedly deeper and darker house approach to ‘Pout.’ While São Paulo, Brazil’s Felipe Angel applies his signature high-energy tribal meets progressive circuit sound that has made him one of Latin America’s top festival DJ’s and producers.
