Day two

Move On Up CURTIS MAYFIELD

Dexter Wansel - The Sweetest Pain (Obé. edit)

This was going to be the flip side of my Odyssey edit which will see the light of day very shortly on a Cosmic Boogie 12 but we've decided to give it away for a couple of reasons (another of my recent edits will now feature on the flip side). Firstly Harvey released an edit of this last year on Pacific Beach Records (and to own it will cost you a whopping $18!) but more importantly, I hit 400,000 plays this week on SoundCloud so I wanted something special to give away.

Hope you like. x

My take on a favorite of mine, covered by the Wood Brass & Steel Band. 
Forthcoming Star Time 12"

WOOD BRASS & STEEL BAND ~ THE DIRTY LOW DOWN ~ KON REMIX

Really didn't have to do much, the original is so amazing to begin with... Just gave it a four on the floor rhythm and made it a bit more heavy on the low end :)

Move On Up - Curtis Mayfield

We are pleased to announce the arrival of the first single from Vol. 2, featuring one of our favorite singers from Los Angeles,  Noelle Scaggs ( of the band FItz & The Tantrums).  

This isn't our first collaboration with Noelle... 

Our very own Todd M. Simon inked a new Rock Steady arrangement of James Brown's "Think (About It)" for The Lions back in 2007, which featured Noelle on vocals.  Noelle has also graced many other collaborations on her own, including Quantic (aka Will Holland) and Dilated Peoples, as well as being the featured lead female vocalist in the L.A. funk and soul outift The Rebirth .

This version of "Walk On By" is an extrapolation of the original Dionne Warwick version, mutated with the stylings of Isaac Hayes rendition and finally given a "decoded" Lovers Rock backbeat.  This was quite the undertaking, and Noelle did a great job invoking the classic women of soul from the 60's era to give this version a refreshing-yet old school feel.

Burt Bacharach and Hal David (R.I.P) were a great composer team, penning many a classic hit including "I Say A Little Prayer For You" which is also slated for a Decoders vol. 2 release later this year.  We hope that we did justice to their vision with our version of "Walk On By".

The strings were recorded by San Diego native, Thomas Lea.  Thomas is the latest addition to the Decoders production team, and you can hear his lush string arrangements on upcoming releases from Rhye & Quadron.

The official release date for the single is tuesday, October 16th.  It will be made available on itunes, amazon and bandcamp for download.

We hope you enjoy it and please share if you feel it!

Also, in case you haven't seen it, please check out our new EPK, which is an introduction to the project and gives a glimpse of what goes on behind the scenes in the studio!

BIOGRAPHY:

The Decoders are Los Angeles-based production team Itai Shapira (producer/engineer & studio/live musician) Todd M. Simon (trumpeter/arranger for Mayer Hawthorne, TV On The Radio, The Lions, Quantic, etc.) and Adam Berg (Grammy nominated producer/engineer), with heavy contributions from Quincy McCrary on keys (Mayer Hawthorne) and Blake Colie on drums (The Lions of Stones Throw Records) . They just released their first installment of modern-Jamaican Lovers Rock-inspired versions of soul classics they dug up from the vaults of the Music Sales publishing catalogue.

In this first batch, Shapira and Simon have deciphered some Earth, Wind and Fire, Minnie Riperton and even one from Ruby and the Romantics! The project is overseen by the songwriter and producer behind many of Minnie Riperton’s hits - Richard Rudolph.

The Decoders have enlisted the help of vocalists Sy Smith (Macy Gray, Foreign Exchange) original “Baby This Love I Have" songwriter and legendary producer Leon Ware (Michael Jackson, Marvin Gaye, Maxwell), Coco Owino (of Quadron), Kevin Sandbloom and Boston Fielder (of Muthawit).  Miguel Atwood Ferguson (Suite For Ma Dukes, Brainfeeder) also makes a guest appearance on the new single "Les Fleurs"

Volume 2 features guest vocalists Noelle Scaggs (of Fitz & The Tantrums), Raul Midon, Alex Isley and many more...
