hear the sound remixed - victor davies

Hot on the heels of Victor Davies’ critically-acclaimed third album ‘Hear the Sound’ comes this fresh and exciting remix album . ‘Hear the Sound: Remixed’ is comprised of contributions from Louie Vega, Afro Gigolo, Domu, DJ Kawasaki, Yukihiro Fukutomi, UFO, Smolik, Yam Who, Rainy City, Atjazz, and Sleep Walker.
‘Hear the Sound: Remixed’ kicks off with Louie Vega’s reinterpretation of the title track . Louie’s stunning concoction of Latin percussion and house beats incorporates the vocals of Anane along with sophiscated keyboards and funky brass.
Louie is not the only remixer to have emphasised the special combination of latin and funkiness found in Victor’s original tracks. DJ Kawasaki’s reworking of ‘Gold & Diamonds’, Yam Who’s ‘So Good for Me’ and UFO’s ‘One More Time’ are wonderful examples of Latin-influenced dance music.
Some remixers have picked up on, and emphasised, the jazzier elements of Victor’s music. Sleep Walker’s version of ‘Don’t Believe a Word’ and Rainy City’s ‘End of Time’ display their own well-known jazz-influenced sounds.
There is a strong soulful element in Yukihiro Fukutomi’s ‘Til You Come Home’ and Smolik’s ‘Girl’.
Other contributors have taken their own completely original route. See Atjazz’s mesmerising ‘Missing World’ and Domu’s ‘Would You Believe in Me’ for great examples of twisted experimentation. Afro Gigolo’s own remixes have a distinctly Drum & Bass flavour on the Bebel Gilberto duet ‘Comigo’ and ‘If I Ruled the World’.
Label: Afro Gigolo
