James Curd - One Day, One Day, One Day, One Day (K’ Alexi Shelby RMX)

Part Of: One Day, One Day, One Day, One Day Catalog: PRONTO004 Release Date: Buy Link: James Curd SoundCloud | K’ Alexi Shelby SoundCloud | PRONTO Bandcamp | Release Text: James Curd arrives with the fifth iteration on his PRONTO imprint, once again drafting in a glittering remix ensemble to compliment his club-primed original on the gloriously feel-good ‘One Day, One Day, One Day’ EP. The OG bursts from the blocks, with a funk-flecked house rhythm that powers the evocative vocal over a floor-focused arrangement. Looped to perfection, glistening guitar licks glide on top of thick bass, as the soul-heavy vox effortlessly seduces. Parisian house maverick The Mekanism adds more bump on his dub, where off-kilter synth loops intertwine over a thumping house beat. Talented French producer KX9000 shows the musically rich aesthetic that’s served him so well on Pont Neuf and Better Listen. Raw and intricate, his genre-defying interpretation blurs the lines between broken beat and future funk. Curd pays homage to his Chi-town roots by inviting bona fide Chicago house royalty K’ Alexi Shelby on board. This producer has played a pioneering role in the Chicago sound’s formative years. Shelby aims straight for the floor on his discreetly hallucinatory version, stripping back the instrumentation as alien synths echo over strobe-lit floors while fierce rhythms undulate somewhere in the bountiful territory between authentic house and techno. There’s further remix action from Frivolous Jackson who has released hard-hitting jams as part of The Sound Republic duo before branching out with his solo project. His typically vibrant remix reframes the vocal over snappy drums and saucer-eyed synth motifs, the sparse but stirring groove captivating as the effervescent arrangement unfurls. Closing out house music aficionado Hebdonis sustains the energy on his hyper-dynamic revision, where shuffling drums combine with bass as the irresistible vocal bursts out across the horizon. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Berlin House Music Submit Your Music | Store | Instagram | YouTube | Facebook | SoundCloud |
