The Beta Club - Brassa Nova (Grant Phabao Remix) (Digital Single, Cartel Records/Paris DJs, 2014) Posted: 09 Sep 2014 06:55 AM PDT UK-based collective with branches in L.A., N.Y., San Francisco & Paris, The Beta Club is back with a new joint release from the Cartel Records UK and Paris DJs labels. This second single is a follow-up to the first one released a few months ago on a limited 45. A reggae-fied take on their 'Brassa Nova' scorcher, gloriously remixed by French producer Grant Phabao into a post-summer balearic anthem, and featuring French keyboardist supreme Soul Sugar on clavinet! While the original could be imagined as something close to The Budos Band recording a song for a Steven Soderbergh or a Kim Jee Woon soundtrack with David Holmes, with influences ranging from David Axelrod, Ennio Morricone & John Barry to Joe Cuba, Lee Perry, Norman Whitfield, Antibalas or The Poets Of Rhythm, this new Grant Phabao remix leans now towards a really unique tropical piece of sacred instrumental music. A half-Jamaican and half-cinematic soundtrack to the best memories of your life. This is a tune pleading for a 45 vinyl release… something that hopefully should see the light in Paris DJs upcoming second boxset in the 'Vinyl Is Good For You' series.

Ocote Soul Sounds & Adrian Quesada - Vendendo Saúde E Fé (Grant Phabao Remix) (Digital Single, Paris DJs, 2013) Posted: 01 Nov 2013 08:59 AM PDT Chicanos in outer space Ocote Soul Sounds (a.k.a. Martin Perna from Antibalas) and Adrian Quesada (from Grupo Fantasma, Brownout or The Echocentrics have put out 3 fantastic, cornerstone albums of Afro-Latin music. A real blend between African grooves and Mexican/South American music that hasn't been achieved before or since. Extracted from their second album from 2010, 'Vendendo Saúde e Fé' ('Selling Wealth and Faith', a Brazilian folk expression of hope and optimism) featuring Brazilian vocalist Tita Lima is a soul-tripping ballad with fuzzed-out guitar. Here's Parisian producer Grant Phabao's take on this kaleidoscopic gem, adding some Jamaican grooves to the already unique formula, for a dazzling remix in psychedelic Afro-Brazilian Reggae style!
